Why write? Well, of course you can spend lots of money to drive traffic to your site with absolutely no guarantee that you will obtain a single sale. Moreover, most of traffic, although targeted, may leave your site and forget it ever existed. Writing puts you personally, your site, and your products/services within same framework as a well-honed opt-in list of subscribers. People remember you, learn to trust you, eventually purchase from you, and most importantly return to purchase again and again, as long as you continue to offer what they need.

"So how can I simplify what seems to be arduous task of writing", you ask?

Try this:

(1) Take out pen and paper and go someplace quiet where you can trigger creative side of your brain. (Yes, I said pen and paper. Don't sit in front of computer for this exercise.)

(2) Sit back and think for a moment about your online home business. What do you offer? What have you learned so far about building traffic? Have you noticed any patterns for certain promotion methods that work? What about anything that can be considered well needed advice to others just starting out?

(3) Now write down first thoughts that come to your mind. Don't edit. Your not at that stage yet. Just write ideas, and do this for several minutes, or until you have at least a single page filled up.

I'm Broke, How Can I Afford...

I’m still amazed every time someone comes to me complaining that they don’t have any money to put into their business and that they’re broke. I mean what have you been doing with your money man?!?

Plain Truth: If you don’t have any money you won’t make it my friend… it’s that simple. You have to at least have some money. Say $200-$500. I don’t care what self-styled slick gurus tell you. If you’re flat out of cash your dead in water before you can even start.

Now let me tell you another thing…. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE BROKE! You’re a liar and a self deluded one at that if you think you are.

I mean how many Starbucks or soda do you drink a day? How many beers a week do you drink? How many cigarettes do you smoke? How much meat do you eat? How many new clothes have you bought in last month? How many “gifts” have you just had to buy? How many magazines or newspapers have you bought this month? How many CD’s? How many snacks? How much candy do you eat a week? How many TV dinners? How much fast food have you been eating? How much did you spend on lottery? How much did your TV cost you? How much money do you give to your church? How much are your monthly car payments?

So these are really essential to living are they?…. No they’re not, they’re self-indulgent habits! Nothing wrong with that if you can AFFORD them. But you tell me you’re broke! Wake up! Ding-dong!

I used to walk streets with no-more than $3 bucks in my pocket to last me day. Yes I did that for months on end until something happened. I got mad, real mad. Not at world but with myself.

You see I have always had a dream of being personally free, being self-reliant, totally in charge of my time and cash flow, beholden to no-one... not government, not masters, not gurus.

Now walking around with $3 bucks aient much fun. It hurts in pit of your stomach. And when I only had $7 a day to feed my family (yup there were others my pathetic state was impacting) I can tell you, I felt at times of doing something pretty dumb to my body and mind… and occasionally did.

If you live in Western world, you live in richest part of planet with most opportunities world has ever seen at any point in history of human race.
