October 2008

My self-imposed hiatus from online business officially ends on Wednesday, October 15, 2008. After three weeks of mental cotton candy, it’s time jump back into the ring. First topic is MacEwan Media, the umbrella company for all our sites which uses our macewan.tv domain to specifically target online business in the dot universe. I want to target the basics of working the dot business knowledge base. Help you to understand how fortunate you are with the choices available through the Internet.

I’d like to with by saying flat-out that money will not magically appear in your PayPal account. This is work. Real work. Even though I earn residual income which may make it appear as though I’m not working for this money, the truth is — this to is work. Folks advertise on our sites or request reviews in hope of attracting  eyeballs through either that day’s readers, rss feed readers or to be indexed for future browsers.

Lesson 1: Read, listen and learn. Give yourself a good year at least in which to learn and earn that basic knowledge of exactly what is occurring with online businesses.

Unfortunately, folks buy into the stay-at-home hype that preys on the dream of owning a Porsche, a laptop and too much free time to fill. Make no mistake that this can happen - it is accomplished through knowledge and work, so… sorry, but inserting a CD into your computer and clicking the “make me money” button is a myth. Honor the effort you expend by fulling understanding you must be in this for the long haul.

You may be wondering if it’s too late to make money online — asking if you missed the boat. Absolutely not! Bloggers earn ridiculous income. John Chow always comes to mind with last months income at $38,030.57 through a mixture of his: affiliate commissions $12,807.69, private ad sales $11,730.00, appearance fees $4,000.00, ReviewMe $4,000.00, Text Link Ads $2,028.59, Shoemoney Tools $2,019.60, Kontera $1,000.00 and RSS ads coming in at $444.69 for a grand total just under forty thousand dollars. I’m not going to spoonfeed you the links to everything I just mentioned. Get motivated! Look ‘em up yourself. Hyperlinks are the lazy way.

Now that I have your attention, I want to remind everyone that today is Blog Action Day. Join us in our attempt to address global poverty with simple-to-use internet tools at our disposal. Credit goes to my wife for bringing this to my attention. She’s a Kiva micro-enterprise lender.

One peaceful night, you are sitting at home watching your favorite show on TV. Suddenly, the power goes out. You reach for your handy flashlight. You flip the switch, and nothing. The battery is dead, having lost its charge over time, and now you are left groping in the dark for a candle and a match.

Everyone has been in this situation at one time or another, if not with a flashlight, then perhaps with a CD player, a travel alarm clock or in business dealings. The results can range from inconvenience (being left in the dark by a dead flashlight) to disaster (if, say, your alarm clock battery dies and you are an hour late for an important business meeting.) Business relations realm issues change the game entirely.

You can easily avoid having to experience these inconveniences. Simply label your battery-operated devices with the date whenever you change the battery, then check the package the battery came in to see when you need to replace it. This will keep you from falling victim to a battery that fades from old age. Simple problems with simple fixes.

Business today, especially online businesses, require information access at a moments notice. Reliable, seasoned sources will serve to lessen headaches. Common knowledge suggests you test your devices regularly, particularly things such as flashlights which are for emergency use, and thus are not used often otherwise. In business this naturally occurs with the ups and downs, as in life, which takes place.

You may want to consider buying a battery tester, which can be found at most electronics stores, that will quickly tell you when a battery is running low. Whereas in the business of generating money reliability is key. Knowing what questions to ask of the right people can assist in laying out changes to business plans.

Flash lights or remote control planning is fairly simple. Keep a supply of spare batteries all in one place, so you will not have to search high an low for a new set. Keep a list of your battery-operated devices and what type of batteries they use with this supply of batteries, so you can easily tell how many things you will need to buy batteries for when your supplies begin to run low. You may also want to keep a set of batteries with important devices (flashlights are, again, the perfect example) so they can be replaced quickly. With online business your “time in service” playing the game is key. If you’re a newbie spend more time reading and listening than filling dead time with irrelevant blathering - pay attention as you may learn something.

My self imposed hiatus ends October 15, 2008. Time to sling the gloves off and kick a little ass.
