Everytime I hear these types of comments - intentionally malicious or not - my eyes lock and my jaw clenches.

Somehow, somewhere, a nasty rumor began implying that when you earn your living from your home, you're not actually working.

Yes, I have flexible hours. True, I sometimes only work 2 hours in a day. Some days I don't work at all. But sometimes I work evenings when others are watching TV, weekends when friends are out for a day of relaxation, plus occasional late nights or extraordinarily early mornings - long before rest of neighborhood is stirring.

The fact of matter is, although home workers have a great deal of flexibility they also tend to spend a lot more time working than if they were in an office. Help keep yourself sane with these tips.

__Eat well and don't skip meals.

Don't blow off regular, healthy meals just because you're busy. You're ALWAYS going to be busy and you may never find 'right' time to take a break. Eat your meals. They'll keep you fueled with energy and provide nutrients to old brain.

__Exercise.

It is a mystery, scary, exciting, fun, an never-ending adventure and daily learning experience.

Whatever reason brought you to Internet, personal or business, we soon discover that Internet is basically about communication. In fact, Internet=Communication.

And foundation of that Communication, is email.

This past Monday, some friends from California came to visit for a few hours.

We had a few drinks, we went to go eat good Mexican food, got car washed and we talked about Internet.

Jack is really sharp when it comes to business but he hasn't fully explored all that Internet has to offer.

Sandy was curious on a professional level, seeking to tap into nursing sources.

Whether it comes from close friends or from any of our many cyber-friends, it dawned on me that question is always same, be it personal or for business, everyone wants to know:

"How do you reach that [ certain person]."

Of course, that [ certain person] is, whatever is your niche or target audience.

For Sandy, it would be nurses. Jack, perhaps opportunity seekers. I'm always looking for new subscribers. :-)

Whatever your niche, that becomes focus of your communication. And it determines how and where you seek to fulfill that communication.

ALWAYS without resorting to SPAM. Because it is against Internet rules and because it creates more problems that it can solve.

Basically, once you know your niche market, there are three main ingredients necessary to conduct business online.

A great product or service. A web site that sells. Attract targeted traffic.
