The lesson we should take from this is that having ability to improve process of getting job quicker and cheaper, without compromising quality of job being done, will help catapult person who simplified process to top of his/her field.

Pennies saved in your home business can turn into dollars at end of day, and dollars can quickly multiply into hundreds or thousands of dollars over time.

Doubt me if you will, but let me ask you a question. Do you think a saving of two fifths of a penny could make any real difference in profit margin of a home business? Of course right answer is "it depends on how many transactions are done in a year, utilizing savings of two fifths of one penny."

You only have to think back a couple of decades to really appreciate this question. Do you remember nut that lived and died in a Las Vegas hotel room? You know one who was a billionaire, and was so worried about germs that he died of starvation? If you guessed Howard Hughes (1905-76), pat yourself on back.

Now Howard did not make all of his money on his two fifths of one penny. He did however make a ton of money from his two fifths of one penny. It seems Howard owned a can manufacturing company. And one day, Howard's team figured out how they could make one minor change in design of their food can to reduce amount of tin necessary to make a single can.

I'm a big fan of pay per click advertising. And Google AdWords is my favorite PPC search engine. The reason is simply that I can often get lots of traffic for a reasonable price.

Too many people think that free traffic through search engine optimization is only way to go. And alternatively, too many people think that PPC traffic is only way to go.

Well, there's nothing wrong with using both. By all means, if you can get free traffic from search engines, then do it. Nothing beats that. But you probably won't get all traffic you could get that way. There will probably still be relevant keywords for which you're not getting traffic.

PPC advertising will let you get traffic for any keywords that are relevant to what you're advertising. And if I can pay someone $1 and they'll pay me more than $1 in return, then I consider that to be a good deal.

Once you have a Google AdWords campaign that's making money, then you'll probably want to try it out on other PPC search engines. Sometimes it will work out, and other times it won't. But it's worth spending a few bucks to give it a shot.

Kanoodle is one of fastest growing smaller PPC search engines (Google and Overture are two big ones). They aren't competing with Google, but they're gaining ground and adding more features to their system. I think they're worth checking out. In fact, I have used them myself.

If you're ready to branch out, then you can get $5 of clicks from Kanoodle at absolutely no cost. You can try them out before you even get out your wallet. Just click link below to give 'em a whirl.

The biggest obstacle for me in doing business online has been, and probably always will be, coming up with ideas for what to do. What can I offer people that they will be willing to pay me for? That's always question on my mind. As time goes on, I come up with more and more answers, but it's never easy.

And I know that this is major problem that many other people face because I'm constantly hearing people talk about it.

Perhaps thing that's helped me answer this question most is going to conferences and seminars. I think I've benefited from this more than anything else I've spent money on.
