HONEY, I Blew Up Our Home Based Internet Business!

This Is A REALLY Cool Concept
I really try not to waste time working on my home based Internet business but lately it has been hard to really concentrate and take advantage of my time.  For starters, I did not blow up my kid like in the movie when Rick Moranis blew up his kid.

I wanted to talk about how I blew up my business.  From having some pocket money to paying most of my bills and eventually replacing my salary (that is the ultimate goal because I do work a full-time J-O-B).

So…it started with making the decision to start following a task list again because that seems to keep my ADD in check.

One of my important tasks is to pay my networking friends a visit on their blog, read their latest post and comment.  This is a great way to build backlinks to your home business blog which increases traffic.

Believe it or not, this is not the reason why I visit most of these home business blogs.  I have made some awesome networking relationships and really value them.

I visit their blogs and comment as a way to saying “hi” and finding out what is new in their network marketing business world.

On two different home business blogs I find myself “tagged” in a blog meme. This is a post that another network marketing friend, Ana Hoffman, started and through networking, we pass it on in hopes that others will do the same.  My networking friends Peter Fuller and Susanna Hess tagged me and I will do the same to some of you are the end of this post.

How Has My Business Grown Since I Started My Blog?
This is an interesting question.  I am answering this question as my 50th article entry in my blog, WOOHOO!

When I first created my blog in December of 2009, I sat on it for months not knowing what I was going to do.

What is my niche?  Who is my real target market?  Do I know enough to give back?

Through networking, I started to form relationships with other bloggers from the Jason Better blog and when March, 2010 arrived, I decided…

I want to be a blogger!

Here are some cool examples of how my business has grown:

• When I started to put the time and effort into building my blog, my Alexa traffic rating was 15 million on March 1, 2010.  Today, July 26, 2010 my Alexa Ranking 183,908.
• I was able to brand myself as a leader and started my own Attraction Marketing System.  This has taught me the specific tools that I need to know to conquer the Internet.
• A great accomplishment was being a part of a VIP Mastermind group that had me on last week as a guest speaker.
• The start of a new small business, I build websites using Wordpress for small businesses in my area.  My client list continues to grow and I learn more about SEO and Copywriting as I continue to work on them.
• Taking my basic MLM Network Marketing blog and having it critiqued by Jason Better and reviewed by Mike Dillard.  This is where the light bulb went on and the MLM Sales Strategies blog was born.
• My list has tripled in size in four months compared to my list when I used a generic marketing system for the previous 2.5 years.
• My knowledge as a MLM coach which gives my MLM Sales Strategies for the Home Business Owner blog credibility.

This experience working as a home based Internet business coach will benefit me in many different ways.  I feel that home business owners are very unique people.

WHY?

We wake up every morning not knowing the future of our businesses or the Industry.  There are changes that can happen at any second.  Yet, we still get up every day and with a kick ass attitude, we strive for the best.  Most people do not want to do this, they would rather work a job from 9-5 and live a regular lifestyle.

Other people take on a home business as a hobby and wonder why they are part of the 97% that fail.  They don’t take it serious enough, end up failing and they can’t figure out what went wrong.  I decided to invest in myself and really “go for it”.

Fast forward to today>>> I have grown in many ways in the network marketing industry.  I didn’t know anything about marketing myself online in March and today I am considered a teacher by many network marketers and I still considered myself a student learning as much as I can.

As an attraction marketing coach, I do not like to business my business opportunity on people.  But now I do not have a problem with offering it to others because of my blog which can tell my story as a coach/teacher.

CALL TO ACTION:

I would like to know how you were able to blow up your home based Internet business.

How long did it take you to realize you needed a change and what did you do to make that change?

If you are working a home based business and you don't have a blog.  I would like to know...

What is holding you back from starting your own MLM business blog?

Have a great day!
