Have you ever thought about starting a home based business in order to make money? A lot of people have, but where do you start with this?

The questions about home based businesses and how they make money for you are unending. You need to take care to take the first step when you are thinking about doing this. Most people miss this completely and thus they end up losing all their money on a business that goes nowhere.

Making Money By Writing A Home Based Business Plan

All right, the business plan for a home-based business may not sound like making money but it works. Far from what you may believe, it is not that hard to write a business plan. This isn’t one you need to show off to anyone. You may not need it to show to the bank for funding.

What this business plan will do is describe what your ideal home-based business will look like and how it will make money for you. You can’t reach a goal if you don’t have it set in the first place.

Write out your ideas of what your future will be like. In the end, what do you want to do? To you want to work in your pajamas in the morning with kids watching TV and you sitting at the computer typing away? Do you want products that you make by hand for each customer? Do you want to stock up on wholesale products and sell retail?

The Next Step To Making Money With a Home Based Business

Your next step is to take the next step. That might sound redundant but look at your business plan. Your plan needs steps to get to where you want to be. Write out these steps, and then take the first one on the list.

Once you have the steps written down, it’s easier to get to where you want to go. Just follow the steps. Need help? Ask! Join a business forum and ask someone you trust to look it over. Read everything you can get your hands on about home businesses and how they work.

Taking That Dramatic First Step Toward Making Money with a Home Based Business

Once you have the plan, the steps and know what to do, what makes you resist? Perhaps you fear failure or maybe you even fear actually succeeding? Forget for a moment all about failure or anything else. Look at your first step. Concentrate on it.

What is it exactly? Think about how you would do it. Picture in your mind the first step and how exactly to go about it. Spend an entire day thinking about that first step and where you will do it and how it will be done.

Adsense Domination

6 steps to Adsense Domination
by: Keith Baxter


When you make your living online, you realize the need for multiple streams of income.

One of the easiest and most lucrative ways to generate a secondary income, which also happens to be passive, is via Google’s Adsense program.

I’m sure you’ve read the claims of a few individuals generating five figure monthly incomes from Adsense. For many of you, I’m sure you are wondering why you aren’t making this same income yourself.

Well, wonder no more. If you follow my simple six step system, you will be well on your way to healthy Adsense profits within three months.

Are you ready? It’s now time to pay attention.

Step 1 – Preparation.

The key to making money with Adsense is all about numbers. BIG numbers!

Sure, there are a few people making serious money with less than ten sites, but these are the exception.

Your goal will be twenty-four sites in three months. That’s just TWO sites per week!

In order to accomplish this, I recommend one of the many available page generation tools available today.

Step 2 – Determine Your Markets.

In order to maximize Adsense income with only twenty-four sites, you must know which markets are paying well.

To break this down even further, you need to know which keywords within those markets are paying the most.

Step 3 – Register you domains.

Once you’ve identified and chosen your markets, you must register domains appropriate to those markets. For example, if your market is ‘Cabbage Patch Dolls’, a domain such as http://www.cabbage-patch-doll.com/ would be appropriate.

Step 4 – Create your site.

Using your favorite page generation software and keyword list, it’s time to develop your site. There are several key points to bear in mind when you develop these specifically for Adsense.

1. Format – Always use the large 336x280 large rectangle.
2. Border – Match the same color as your background.
3. Background color - Border – Match the same color as your background.
4. Link = "0000CC"
5. Color_url = "999999"
6. Color_text = "333333"
7. Position – Far left or center and just above the page fold (Top 25% of site)

Step 5 – Verify and track your site

Visit your site and make sure all links work and that the sites appear to your satisfaction. You should also check out the ads Google is displaying. Are they targeted to your primary high paying keyword? If not, recreate your site using your high paying keyword in a higher density throughout your site.

Make sure you track your Adsense format, position, and traffic with a tracking system specifically designed for Adsense. Once you know your stats, you can adjust for maximum clickthroughs and higher revenues.

Step 6 – Get your site listed in the search engines.

This is simple… no tricks involved. Simply rent links to your site. A PR7 or PR8 link will do the job.

While I’ve simplified the process here, you are now armed with enough information and resources to make some serious money with Adsense.
