Home Business Income

2010-03-13T18:04:00.002-07:00

Don't quit your day job! At least, not until your home business income reaches a certain level. If you need a boost to get to that level, perhaps you could benefit from our newest marketing program.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

One of the questions I hear from Internet home business newcomers is "How soon can I quit my day job?" Of course, there is no set formula that can be applied across the board to every aspiring entrepreneur. We each have different starting points and follow different paths of development.

There are marketers who have the ability to launch a new online business or a new marketing program one month and are already earning a significant income the next month. And there are marketers who struggle for years before they earn enough home business income each month to "risk" quitting their dreaded day jobs.

Internet Marketers who start from a point of inexperience will have a greater challenge reaching their desired income goals. If they bring some offline business or marketing experience to the table, they will have an advantage over those who start with a complete blank slate. But even so, marketing on the Internet takes research, application and testing ... despite what some of the promoters say about it being easy.

Of course, refinements in technology and in marketing systems do make the process easier for more people to quickly get on the home business bandwagon, but there are still some basics that have to be learned and mastered.

It's best if you have your own domain so you have full control over what is placed on your website and how it is presented. Pre-built affiliate websites are fine for beginners, but they are limited. You want a site that you can modify however you want, whenever you want.

The exception to this rule is a pre-built site built on a format that allows you to host it on your own domain and comes with full customization access and tools.

Take my Affiliate Power Central website, for example. This site started out as a template, but I have been making minor modifications over the past week as I have been becoming familiar with the WordPress platform. I'll continue to make improvements as time goes on.

Now, keep in mind that if you have your own domain name and website, you will have to learn some additional skills so you can make the changes yourself without dependence on outside help. That's all part of enhancing your value as a knowledgeable leader and a unique service provider.

The thing is, the more you stand out from the crowd, the greater your perceived value will be. Demonstrate your ability to innovate and people will be drawn to that. People seek leadership.

If you need to learn or further develop your skills to become a marketing leader, one of the best ways to do that is by learning from others who have already mastered those skills. I made reference to our newest marketing program at the beginning of this post. And I pointed out my new website, Affiliate Power Central. That new site is a product of the new program.

My previous web biz blog post elaborated on this a bit more, but basically the new marketing program includes a website, tech support, marketing training and access to coaching from mentors. It is called My Affiliate Power Site (MAPS) and more details are available at Affiliate Power Central, for those who may be interested.

If you are thinking about starting up an Internet home business and quitting your day job, I encourage you to first consider a few things:

- What level of Internet Marketing experience do you presently have?

- How much time can you commit to your new business each week?

- Are you willing to study and learn some basic marketing and website management skills?

- How "teachable" are you? Experienced marketers are happy to coach and mentor willing students, but you must have a positive attitude towards such instruction.

How you answer these questions could well determine how quickly you could expect to earn the level of home business income you need to be able to quit your day job. Just how much income you need to have before quitting your job, now that's another story!

My Affiliate Power Web Biz

2010-02-28T19:02:00.002-07:00

Affiliate Marketing is the process where you advertise and promote products and services for online companies and in return, you earn commissions as an Affiliate. Here's some information about my Affiliate Power web biz and how YOU can get one, too!

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

I have been researching and testing various web biz opportunities over the past couple of years and there are several ways an aspiring entrepreneur can approach the business of Internet Marketing. Affiliate Marketing is one way, and recently, I found a service that can put you in the driver's seat with Affiliate Power, instantly.

The service is called My Affiliate Power Site (MAPS) and what it does is give you TWO pre-built marketing sites that have the potential to start making money online within hours of their activation.

The first site simply promotes the affiliate program, explaining in detail all of the features and benefits of becoming a MAPS affiliate.

The second site is one that you have full control over to personalize however you want. It is a ready-made template site that comes complete with full access to training to show you how to advertise and promote the site and how to modify it, if you choose to do so.

My new marketing site is Affiliate Power Central. If you visit the site, you will see that I have made a few minor changes. For me, it is a work in progress as I have some affiliate-related products, services and programs to add to the site, plus I will be including some additional resources and resource links as time goes on.

Experienced Internet Marketers will immediately see the potential in the MAPS affiliate program. They will be able to get this program up and running in short order and will quickly be able to begin promoting it to their existing lists.

Newcomers to online marketing will find great benefit in the MAPS affiliate program because it sets them up with an instant online business, saving them weeks and months of research, study, website development and trial and error. Not to mention reducing their start-up costs quite significantly. Just take a look at what MAPS has to offer and consider how much time, effort and expense it would take YOU to set it all up on your own.

Affiliate Marketing is a steadily growing trend as the world economy continues to place jobs and household incomes in jeopardy. More and more people are turning to alternative forms of income, and what better way to make a little extra money than with an online business that is run from the comfort of your own home?

My Affiliate Power web biz is one way that I am personally diversifying my income, and the great news is YOU can quickly and easily jump on the Affiliate Marketing bandwagon, too. Check out the MAPS program today!

Internet Home Business Back On Track

2010-02-25T11:51:00.002-07:00

After a few frustrating days of trial and error with coding for some of the links on the StarrBizz.com web biz marketing site, this Internet business is back on track!

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

Recently, I went through the process of transferring my web biz hosting needs to a new provider, HostGator. HostGator has a range of services that can truly help an entrepreneur expand their marketing reach and the level of their professionalism substantially.

During the process of the transfer, as can be expected, some minor glitches occurred. As noted in my previous web biz blog post, between HostGator tech support and a couple of my Internet Marketing mentors, we identified the problems and found solutions.

The biggest headache had to do with link re-directs I have created over the past few years using third-party software. There was something wrong in the coding that worked fine at the old web host, but would not work here at the new host.

HostGator identified the offending code immediately, and although my marketing mentors tried to guide me through the steps to correct the problem, it did take me some study and trial and error to work through the solution due to my inexperience with the new hosting platform.

However, once I caught on to the process, fixing the problem at hand was basically quick and simple. You may still find the odd link that still doesn't open properly, but for the most part, I have fixed all of the current links and the most relevant ones. I will get to them all, eventually.

This has been a great relief! You know how stressful it can be when you have a problem but you can't envision the solution. You start to imagine that it will never be resolved. I think that is where vision, goals and commitment to success come in. You must be determined to push through the frustration until you find the solution - whatever it takes.

Now that I've got this Internet home business back on track, it's on to some new projects! Details to follow, soon.

Web Biz Hosting Transfer Update

2010-02-21T17:07:00.002-07:00

We have successfully transferred our web hosting to HostGator and we are now just working out a few of the bugs.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

I am not typically one to do things "the easy way," although I do start out looking for the easy way to do things. But I always encounter alternatives, and alternatives quite often lead a person on to unexpected tangents.

Such was the case when I recently decided to move my web hosting to a new service that provides a range of additional features and a great deal more potential for the future of my online business. Instead of going with a simple, straight across web hosting package, I chose a more advanced package that gives me greater administrative control plus a more dependable, and faster, server - a virtual private server (VPS), in fact.

Click my HostGator link for more information about the benefits of a VPS.

Today, I am testing some of the new settings for this Web Bizz Blog. If you are reading this, it worked!

I've also noticed a problem with some of the links for products and services I promote. At the moment, any link that has "starrbizz.com/recommends/(anything)" in it is not working. It has something to do with the third party software I had been using to create those links. As soon as I can find the solution, I'll get all those links back up and running.

For now, most everything else seems to work fine, with many thanks and much credit to my tech mentor, Jeffery, and one of my key marketing mentors, Suzanne, both from the mentorship team at the Affiliate Power Group. Acknowledgement must also go to tech support at HostGator who readily offered insight and assistance along the way.

Once I work these things through, I will have some new ideas and web biz opportunities to introduce.

That's my web biz hosting transfer update for today. If you are reading this ... keep watching this space in the days to come!

The Only Thing Constant in Life is Change

2010-01-31T18:34:00.002-07:00

I am planning some changes for the StarrBizz.com site and sometime over the next few days, the site might be down or acting strange. If you have trouble with it, that's the reason why.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

People are funny. We like familiar patterns and we resist change, but in reality, whether we admit it or not, we thrive on change. We tend to become bored and listless when things stay the same for too long. Change gets our attention. It excites us!

It's a new year and I am planning some changes for my StarrBizz.com site. Some of the changes will require that I "do things differently" and possibly learn some new skills. The process is sure to test the limits of my patience.

However, it's all for the good as change is a valuable part of our existence. In fact, I believe it was the French author, Francois de la Rochefoucauld who coined the phrase, "The only thing constant in life is change."

That being the case, we would do well to simply resign ourselves to the inevitable. If we learn to embrace change, we will certainly be happier and come out stronger.

Ask me how I feel about that in a couple of days! lol

Anyway, here we go. I'll post this notice then I'll start the process that may or may not interrupt the StarrBizz website for a short period of time. As mentioned, it could happen sometime over the next few days. Once we're over the hump, I'll be back here to post an update!

Laws of Success

2009-12-19T12:09:00.002-07:00

Personal success begins with a desire for achievement, an attitude of hopeful expectation and a willingness to put your shoulder to the wheel. It also helps if you have a proven guide or plan. That's where the Laws of Success come in.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

Given enough time, anybody can become successful at anything. The problem is most people lack either the will or the ability to focus on the goal long enough. That's why so few succeed in a big way and so many struggle so terribly.

I remember hearing a story related by Earl Nightingale years ago of a music fan that approached a famous pianist after a concert and said, "I'd give anything to play as you do." The pianist responded, saying, "Except 20 years and seven hours a day."

Today, instead of putting in the time necessary to develop our skill, we look for the "quick fix" to personal and business success. The sad thing is, in this quest for the "Holy Grail" of success, much valuable time is wasted jumping from concept to concept. A person's time would be better spent simply focusing on just one concept until it is mastered.

The good news is, whatever path that is followed to attain success, there are some established guidelines that can help accelerate one's progress.

In this web biz blog post, I will highlight five of the "Laws of Success" described by Brian Tracy in his audio program, The Universal Laws of Success and Achievement. The pocket guide that comes with this program breaks it down into 12 sections, each focusing on a series of specific laws relative to the particular section. In total, the guide lists more than 150 individual laws of success and achievement.

The first section is titled "The Laws of Success" and I will list five laws out of the 15 included in this category.

Law of Cause and Effect: "This is an orderly universe," says Brian. "There are no accidents. Everything happens for a reason. For every effect, there is a cause or set of causes."

Law of Mind: "Thoughts objectify themselves. You become what you think about."

Law of Correspondence: Brian explains that your outer life will mirror your inner life. "There is a direct correspondence between your experiences and your thoughts and attitudes," he says.

Law of Habit: "Virtually all we do is automatic, the result of habit," notes Brian. "Habits that move us away from our goals must be changed."

Law of Change: Brian advises that all things are changing; nothing is fixed. "If you don't take advantage of change," he cautions, "you'll be the victim of change."

While the pocket guide is handy for quick reference, it is only the tip of the iceberg compared to the detail and personal insight Brian provides in the audio program. Students of personal development will be greatly inspired, enriched and motivated by listening to The Universal Laws of Success and Achievement.

As I write this, we are just weeks away from the New Year. For many, this is a time of introspection where we evaluate the progress we have made over the past year and consider our options for improvement and advancement in the coming year.

It is my hope that as you plan the year ahead, you will review the five Laws of Success listed here and will find ways to apply them to your ultimate success and achievement in the New Year.

Commitment to Personal Development in 2010

2009-12-15T23:44:00.001-07:00

We all have hopes, dreams and aspirations to succeed. The one quality that will separate those who achieve from those who do not is their level of commitment to personal development in 2010.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

Everybody talks about personal development. Everybody recognizes the value of continually expanding their knowledge base and building their personal skills and abilities. But not everybody is truly committed to the process. Some simply pay "lip service" to the concept.

That is the difference between achievers and non-achievers: some people dream of worthy accomplishments, while others stay awake and achieve them.

If you are looking ahead to 2010 and have aspirations to achieve more personally and financially than you have ever achieved in the past, you are going to have to find ways to do the things you have been doing either better, or in a different, more productive way.

Areas in your life that are worth examining early in the New Year may include:

- Personal Character, Attitudes, Habits
- Interpersonal Communication Skills
- Focus on Family
- Relationships
- Health and Wellness
- Goal Setting and Planning
- Social Awareness/Contributing to Society
- Business and Marketing
- Financial Planning

Every individual has their own list and their own order of priority and preference. The key is to determine what areas need adjusting and which ones need immediate attention. The sooner a person can determine these and get to work on them, the sooner they will begin to achieve positive results that will be both beneficial and personally uplifting.

Personal development is not something that can or should be left to chance. Few people are "natural" achievers; success doesn't often just fall into the laps of most people. Most people have to work at it.

A person needs to know what they want, where they are going and how to get there. They need to have the focus to stay on track and the will and determination to stick with it.

Many resources exist on the Internet to help with the process of personal development. The best resources help you identify and examine the areas that hold the most meaning to you right now and provide you with a clear plan of some sort to help you move effectively from Point A to Point B in your quest for greater personal achievement.

However, the best resource in the world has little value unless you are prepared to make a firm commitment to personal development.

If you are thinking about renewing your commitment to personal development in 2010, I encourage you to seek out the resources that will take you through the process successfully. My personal choice for a wide range of personal development material is Brian Tracy International.

The New Psychology of Achievement Revisited

2009-12-03T00:12:00.002-07:00

There comes a time when you can honestly admit that you need professional help to push through your self-imposed limitations. When that time comes, The New Psychology of Achievement is here to show you the way.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

There isn't a single person on this planet who wouldn't like to learn how to achieve more in a shorter amount of time and with less effort. And there isn't a person on this planet that could not benefit from the insight and guidance of a recognized master of whatever field of interest is being pursued.

If your time has come to face the facts of your present limitations and you are willing to open up to some expert advice from a proven leader, then now is the absolute best time to take a peek at the audio program, The New Psychology of Achievement, by Brian Tracy.

Brian is a best-selling author, a professional speaker and a leader in the field of personal achievement. The New Psychology of Achievement is just one of many great training resources created by this master.

In an earlier web biz blog post highlighting this resource, I mentioned the three things you need to reach a particular destination: you need a goal, a map and a vehicle.

The New Psychology of Achievement is the vehicle that will get you from Point A to Point B in any area of personal achievement you wish to develop.

In an even earlier web biz blog post relating to this same resource, I highlight the purpose and value of having clear and definite personal development goals. To achieve such goals, you need to be focused and you need to commit purposeful and consistent effort towards the desired result.

Brian's New Psychology of Achievement will help you "break the constraints of self-doubt" so you can "push through to a level of achievement you never before thought possible."

Are you ready to refine your goals and create a "roadmap" guaranteed to lead you to your destination? If so, then check out the product information page for Brian Tracy's New Psychology of Achievement right now, because a better, more fulfilling future awaits.

Affiliate Marketing: How To Get Started

2009-11-14T22:58:00.002-07:00

There is money to be made online. Are you truly interested in getting your share? Here is exactly where to begin! Affiliate Marketing: How to get started.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

Early this century, before I became actively involved online, I would hear people saying how you can make money online with something called "Affiliate Marketing." I didn't know anything about it, other than companies would allow you to place their banners on your website and when your visitors clicked the banner and purchased something, you would earn a commission.

A few years later, I upgraded my computer hardware and my knowledge of Internet Marketing and became active as an Affiliate Marketer. And then I discovered one of the unfortunate realities of marketing on the Internet: online success takes time and effort just like any other business or entrepreneurial endeavour! There is no quick or easy way.

Fortunately, I had learned one extremely valuable "life lesson" quite a number of years ago. It was this: you can accelerate the speed of your success in anything you do simply by learning from, and following the advice and recommendations of, successful people who have travelled the path before you.

I found a group of experienced mentors who became my Affiliate Marketing guides. As part of the process, I discovered that I had also become a member of a group of marketing students pursuing the same online dreams and goals as I was. Joining a support group of peers like this is probably one of the best things you can do, especially when you are relatively new to marketing, or if you have not yet found your stride in the business.

This mentorship group has continued to evolve over the past few years and recently, it has taken on a new name:
the Affiliate Power Group

The Affiliate Power Group (AFP) is a membership site that focuses on Affiliate Marketing training and support. The mentors maintain a daily presence in the APG forum where members can ask questions, share ideas and generally interact with other members.

The AFP site is loaded with training guides and resources, all designed to coach members to greater online marketing success.

One particular area of focus is Niche Marketing. Everything that an aspiring marketer could want or need to build a successful niche-focused business is available to members at the APG site.

Here are just a few of the benefits you get when you become an APG member:

- Daily access to five experienced Internet Marketing coaches

- Step-by-step action plan

- Free WordPress installation

- Access to the Internet Marketing Learning Center

- Access and resale rights to niche eBooks, reports and articles

- Unlimited access to the Members Forum

Affiliate Marketing has changed over the years. The market has become incredibly more competitive and these days, to succeed in a big way, you need to have the competitive advantage. That is the whole purpose and focus of the APG.

There are many sources for information, guidance and support on the Internet. One of the great things about the APG is that everything - and I mean EVERYthing - is all together in one place; easy to find, easy to navigate, easy to use, and when you do have questions, mentors and members are always available to offer advice and assistance.

I've been benefiting from the guidance of the APG mentors for quite some time now. I am sold on the value they provide. What I recommend for you is to visit the Affiliate Power Group information page today and get more details on Affiliate Marketing, how to get started.

Yesterday, I wrote and submitted an article titled, "Outsourcing Can Be Your Ticket To Success" where I highlighted some of the reasons marketers outsource some of their tasks, as well as some of the benefits of doing so.

Home Business Books

2009-10-23T21:30:00.001-06:00

Let me tell you about a great online source for home business books (and much more), at excellent prices.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

One of the best ways to expand your knowledge and give you the competitive advantage in your home based business is to read books written by experienced marketers and business people.

I'm sure you already know that you can find unlimited sources for books online. But did you know that the TripleClicks online superstore also sells great books? And some of them are available at prices you won't find anywhere else.

When you click the "Books" link in the TripleClicks directory of products and services, you will find around 450 listings. The selection may change from day to day, so if you see something you especially like today, it might be a good idea to pick it up while you can!

Here are a few of the home business books listed today:

- Conversations With Millionaires, by Mike Litman and Jason Oman: $11.95

- Been There Done That, by Dr. Joe Rubino: $11.95

- The Road Less Traveled, by M. Scott Peck, M.D.: $8.00

- Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity, by John Stossel: $1.00

- How Come That Idiot's Rich and I'm NOT?, by Robert Shemin: $6.50

- Why We Want You To Be Rich, Donald J. Trump, Robert T. Kiyosaki: $1.00

- The Millionaire Course, by Marc Allen: $6.95

These are just a few of the business books available in the TripleClicks online store. Not all of the books listed are focused on business; the selection varies between all genres. Also, many of the selections are in CD format.

And, of course, TripleClicks isn't only about books. The superstore offers 28 separate categories of products and services and lists many thousands of items.

However, today I am focusing on the value of continuous learning and expanding your business and marketing knowledge through the insight and experience of others.

Home business books are a great resource for this and the TripleClicks "Books" section is an ideal place to visit regularly to see what's new. Check it out now.

Inspirational Quotes For Home Business

2009-10-17T21:42:00.001-06:00

Inspirational quotes for Home Business can come from many sources. Most web biz enthusiasts welcome such inspiration as a source of motivation to help build their business.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

If you know me from Internet Marketing forums and Social Networking sites like Twitter, you know what a keen advocate I am of motivational and inspirational quotes and sayings. A person never knows when a few well-structured words will spark a fresh idea or the added encouragement a person needs.

If you look around my StarrBizz website or Web Bizz Blog, you will quickly see who I most often turn to for motivation and inspiration for MY home business: Brian Tracy!

I've been benefiting from Brian's guidance and training, personally and in my home business, for more than a decade now. One of my favourite Brian Tracy personal and business development programs is The Universal Laws of Success and Achievement.

I wrote about this awesome program in a previous web biz blog post, Universal Laws of Success and Achievement, which I invite you to read.

Today, I am just going to share with you several of the more than 150 SPECIFIC quotes that come directly from the sessions covered in the program.

Inspirational Quotes For Home Business

(All quotes directly from Brian Tracy)

- Law of Cause and Effect: Everything happens for a reason. For every effect, there's a cause or a set of causes.

- Law of Responsibility: You are fully responsible for everything you are, everything you have, and everything you become and achieve.

- Basic Law of Happiness: The quality of your life is determined by how you feel at any given moment. Happiness springs not from events, but how you interpret those events.

- Law of Compatibility: People are compatible with each other only when they share the same values, attitudes, ambitions and beliefs.

- Law of Ambition: Everything you do is an attempt to improve your condition. As long as there is discontent and the capability to improve, you will try to do so.

- Law of Terms (One of the 14 Laws of Negotiating): Terms of payment can be more important than price or any other factor. You can usually agree to almost any price if you can adjust the terms.

If you give some concentrated thought to each of these inspirational quotes on success and achievement from Brian Tracy you will recognize the wisdom in each and you will begin to see how you can apply it to your own personal and home business interests.

The above Laws are just six from more than 150 presented and explained in Brian's Universal Laws of Success and Achievement program. Personally, I refer daily to the handy pocket guide that came with the audio program. You may see me post some of these quotes in online forums and social sites.

I am dedicated to continuous learning and Brian's programs always give me a lift. You may have your own sources of inspirational quotes for home business, but if you choose to give Brian's material a listen or a read, I know you will be inspired, educated and encouraged.

Just Take The Tour!

2009-10-03T00:24:00.002-06:00

Well, friends, I resisted this opportunity as long as I could. But finally, I took the advice of one of my web biz mentors who said "Forget the hype. Just take the tour!" I am amazed at what I found.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

I took the FREE tour and discovered a business that truly is the answer to helping average people achieve success from the comfort of their own home. In fact, it is an incredibly simple money saving program that comes with a powerful business sharing system.

The company is MyWorldPLUS.

When you become a member of MyWorldPLUS, you receive a discount card that saves you money on shopping, dining, travel, golf, recreation, and more!

To be honest, I've heard of these companies before and never saw the value in them.

However ... when I took the FREE MyWorldPLUS tour, I discovered two impressive things that make THIS company stand out in the crowd and captured my interest immediately:

1) You can get buy-one-get-one-free deals at Subway and McDonalds, pizza deals, and movie deals. Plus, you can earn cash back for shopping at online stores like Target, Sears, Macy's and over 600 others.

Guess what? I can see myself actually shopping at places like those. Not only that, I socialize in online marketing forums with web biz marketers who are already using their MyWorldPLUS discount cards in places like those! It's real and it works.

2) MyWorldPLUS membership comes with a variety of benefits (Take the TOUR!) and you get EVERYTHING for just $19.95 per month! In fact, you will save more money every month just by taking advantage of the everyday discounts than it will ever cost you to be a member!

The benefits and the low monthly cost were impressive enough, but here is the clincher that pushed ME over the edge.

When you take the tour, you will see a feature that allows you to key in your location or your zip/postal code or a city or whatever you choose and instantly, you will see all of the stores and services in your area that are members of the MyWorldPLUS discount program.

Folks, I live in a small, northern community. I was surprised to learn that I can use my discount card in a number of LOCAL businesses and services. Also, there are a number of other member services within 50 kilometres. And there are NUMEROUS member stores, businesses and services within 150km!

The moment I discovered that, I said, "I'm in!" I will never travel outside of my community again without saving money on services that I have to pay for anyway.

Combine those kinds of savings with the powerful MyWorldPLUS business sharing system and compensation plan (Take the TOUR!) and you've got a home based business winner that is tough to beat!

If all you want to do is save money on products and services you're already using and have to pay for anyway, MyWorldPLUS is perfect for YOU. Don't let these discounts pass you by another day longer.

If you are looking for a home based web biz that is ready to go, incredibly easy to do and appealing to almost everybody, this is it! Don't wait for one of your friends or relatives or business associates to tell YOU about it. Get in NOW and be the first to tell THEM.

There are reasons why you do not want to delay: Just take the tour! I know you will be impressed.

Start, Build or Turn Around Your Web Biz

2009-09-20T10:00:00.001-06:00

Web biz success can be elusive. But the fact is, success leaves clues and if you can learn to recognize those clues, you've got it made! Here's help to start, build or turn around your web biz.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

A couple of days ago I posted a new feature article on my StarrBizz.com home page titled, "Start, Build, Manage or Turn Around Any Business."

The article focuses on some of the key qualities of a successful businessperson. One of the most beneficial qualities is the willingness to learn from the leaders. Not only will you pick up ideas and inspiration you may never have otherwise thought of, but you will also be able to save yourself a lot of time, money and hassle.

The article provides quotes and references from Brian Tracy, where he highlights a few key qualities of business people destined for success. For example, Brian notes the importance of attitude, focusing on the fundamentals, maintaining a positive state of mind, strength of conviction, confidence, patience and more.

Information is also provided at the end of the article recommending an excellent training program designed by Brian, who, as many people know, is a best-selling author and world-renowned personal development expert.

The training program is titled, "How You Can Start, Build, Manage or Turn Around Any Business." The program is available in digital and physical format and for a limited time, Brian is offering 7 value-packed bonuses. For more information, you can read the feature article on the StarrBizz homepage, or you can visit Brian's product information page.

It is a proven fact: success leaves clues. If you are looking for clues to start, build or turn around your web biz, be sure to read this StarrBizz.com homepage article today or check out Brian's product information page.

Pop-over Problem Solved!

2009-09-18T15:03:00.001-06:00

Don't you just love problems and challenges? They test us and stretch us and force us to explore uncharted realms in our journey to and through knowledge and learning.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

I don't like problems. Yes, I agree. Problems can be a good thing. They challenge us to stretch our thinking and our abilities and if we have the fortitude to persevere, we come out the other side stronger and wiser.

But I still don't like problems! lol

Yesterday, I made a number of changes to the StarrBizz.com homepage including posting a new feature article and a few new Web Bizz Blog highlights. I didn't finish everything until late in the evening, so I was in a hurry to upload my revised Index file to my server and post the changes to the Internet.

I always check new pages in a web browser after I upload them, and I did that with the StarrBizz homepage. I noticed a wee problem when the page loaded, but being late in the evening, I passed it off as being a minor browser glitch and expected that it would correct itself.

... However, first thing this morning, upon opening the StarrBizz homepage in my browser, I was alarmed to discover that the glitch was still there! If any of my visitors experienced this problem through that 12 hour period, please accept my apology.

The problem had to do with the pop-over or drop-down box that appears when you open the StarrBizz.com page. This box promotes the bonuses you get when you sign up for my web biz newsletter. When it's working properly, the box includes a "Close" link right at the top allowing visitors to get rid of it quickly and easily.

This morning, I discovered that the "Close" link was missing from the box! That meant visitors could not close the box ... and if you are like me, you aren't real happy about those pop-overs and drop-downs to begin with. A box that won't close does nothing positive for the reputation of a website, I know.

Looking around the web page, I noticed that the "Close" link was actually misplaced: it was up in the top, left corner of the web page in a spot visitors may not think to look.

Not being a techie or a master at HTML, I wondered what to do?

What I did was open the Index file for that page into an HTML editor so I could examine the code for anomalies. Not recognizing any, I then opened a previously saved older version of the Index file and compared the code for the drop-down box in the two files.

Ah ha! What I discovered was that the code in the offending file had somehow been rearranged. A couple lines of code were in a different spot.

So, I changed the code to match that of the older file and tested the page. Eureka! It worked. I quickly uploaded the corrected file to my server and republished to the Net and all was well once again. Thank goodness.

However, once question still remained: how did that lit bit of code get moved around?

I think I know what happened: bad mouse. Bad, bad mouse.

I've been having trouble with my computer mouse lately. It's getting old and it seems like it sometimes double-clicks when it should only be a single-click. That causes problems when I'm copying and pasting ... which I do a lot when I'm working on text and HTML in web pages. I must have inadvertently highlighted and moved that drop-down box code without realizing it.

It's either that ... or gremlins.

Either way, at least I got my pop-over problem solved. Guess I'd better start shopping for a new mouse.

Antiques and Collectibles for Your Web Biz

2009-09-16T11:37:00.001-06:00

A couple of days ago I mentioned the "Collectibles" category in the TripleClicks.com online superstore. Here is some great news for your web biz: Antiques and Collectibles is the NEW category!

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

In my previous web biz blog post I highlighted the availability of Barack Obama Collectibles in the TripleClicks store.

Coincidentally, a day or two later, the Collectibles category was expanded to include Antiques. I think this is exciting news for anybody who shops online for antiques and for any web biz marketer looking to expand their range of products.

Many people around the world are interested in antiques, either for their personal collection or as an investment. There are websites that cater to this interest to a degree, but there are also countless individuals around the world looking for antique items or in possession of antiques for sale who have never heard of those websites. TripleClicks.com fills a definite need and provides a simple, convenient way for buyers and sellers to meet up.

At present, there are 29 categories and many thousands of items listed at the TripleClicks online store with the new "Antiques and Collectibles" category topping the list. This new category currently lists almost 400 collectible, vintage and antique items. As members and visitors visit the site and become aware of the potential to view and sell antiques, more listings will follow.

The TripleClicks online superstore is a great opportunity for any Internet Marketer looking to add to their line of products. The store is already set up and ready to go - once you register free as an affiliate, all you need to do is refer people to your TripleClicks website link and you're in business!

Antiques and Collectibles for your web biz: TripleClicks makes it easy.

The place to go for a selection of Barack Obama collectibles and hundreds of other collectible items is the TripleClicks.com online superstore.

TripleClicks.com carries thousands of items and the selection can change from day to day. That's why you will want to head over there without delay if you are interested in Obama collectibles.

The NEW Psychology of Achievement!

2009-09-05T16:34:00.001-06:00

In the previous web biz blog post, I recommended a training program that focuses specifically on sales success. Today, I am reminding you of a professionally designed program that covers the entire range of personal development: The New Psychology of Achievement.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

As I just mentioned, this is a reminder post, as I have already mentioned this incredible self-improvement resource in an earlier post. To read it, visit Personal Development Goals, posted on August 10.

In that post, I highlight the importance of setting some definite personal development goals for yourself. If you ever hope to maximize your efforts you can't just approach it willy-nilly style ... you need to focus on a well-defined plan of action.

Everybody knows that to reach a formerly uncharted destination, you need three things:

1) A Goal
2) A Map
3) A Vehicle

With respect to personal development:

- The Goal is your destination, what you hope to achieve, the end result.

- The Map is your plan of action, the steps you need to take to get to where you are going.

- The Vehicle is the resource that will "carry" you from Point A to Point B.

The New Psychology of Achievement is an audio program designed by best-selling author and professional speaker Brian Tracy. This audio program is available in CD or MP3 format.

The program will help you keenly define your goals in every area of your life; it will assist you in creating a plan of action, a "roadmap" guaranteed to lead you to your destination; and it will serve as the vehicle to carry you through the entire process.

For more of my thoughts, you are welcome to read my previous post highlighting this training program: Personal Development Goals.

You are also invited to go directly to Brian's product information page for The New Psychology of Achievement. It offers relative information as well as a short video featuring Brian.

Whatever you do, do not relegate this reminder to your "I'll look into it later" file. Take time to deal with it now.

Personal development is far too important to be trivialized... because the levels of success and achievement you hope to attain in the future depend on the steps you take today, right now. The sooner you determine your specific goals and map out a clear plan of action, the sooner you can get on the road and begin moving towards your desired destination.

If you value personal achievement, now is the time to look into The New Psychology of Achievement, available in CD or MP3.

Mastermind Power For Home Business Success

2009-09-01T21:27:00.001-06:00

Imagine the personal power you would gain if you could tap into the brightest minds on the planet. You may think that unlimited power of this sort is beyond your capacity. Think again: Mastermind power for home business success is within your reach.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

I remember reading a book many years ago where the writer spoke about the power of the mastermind; how all you needed for massive personal or business success was to learn from the experts in whatever field of endeavour you were pursuing.

The writer said that the best scenario would be to gather leading thinkers and achievers around you and put their experience and knowledge to work for you. This would be your own mastermind group. The writer pointed out that if you were able to do this, there would be absolutely no obstacle that you could not successfully overcome.

The writer also acknowledged that to assemble a powerful mastermind group like this would be very difficult for the average person. So, he offered an alternative.

He suggested that you could first become familiar with the style and philosophy of leaders who you admire, and then when you are faced with difficult problems or obstacles, you can tackle them from the same mindset as your chosen experts. In other words, you will "think" like they do and solve the problem the way they would solve it: you will spend some time in deep thought about the problem and how the expert would deal with it, then ask the question, "What would (said expert) do about this?"

I have lost track of the book in question - it is somewhere in my archives and I do not remember the name of the author. It could have been Napoleon Hill, but I don't know for sure. What I do know is the book was written many years before the advent of mass electronic communication and the Internet.

Today, access to the knowledge base of world-recognized experts is quick, easy and inexpensive. The serious home business entrepreneur has no excuse for not finding answers to even the toughest questions in leadership, marketing and sales.

The challenge of course is knowing where to look, who to turn to for the information you seek.

One recommended source is iLearningGlobal.TV (iLG). The faculty of iLG bring to the table insight, knowledge and experience that spans pretty much every field imaginable. iLG instructional products are delivered with cutting edge technology that provides an exceptional viewing experience.

Home business enthusiasts and web biz marketers will also be interested in the iLG affiliate opportunity. Since everybody can benefit from personal development and self-improvement, everybody is a hot prospect for the iLearningGlobal.TV subscription service. It is a great residual income opportunity for those who are interested.

Some consider iLG to be "The Greatest Mastermind ever assembled." The faculty is made up of some of today's top speakers, authors, trainers and thinkers. A few of the faculty members are:

- Brian Tracy, iLearningGlobal Chief Learning Officer
- Tony Alessandra
- Patricia Fripp
- Jay Abraham
- Jim Cathcart
- Mark Victor Hansen
- And many more!

Imagine how much more quickly you could develop your skills, your abilities, your personal or business success by tapping into the minds of these leaders. When you become an iLG subscriber or business partner, the entire iLG faculty becomes your personal Mastermind Group.

Mastermind Power for home business success doesn't get any better than this. If you see the potential in "The Greatest Mastermind ever assembled" then please take a few minutes to watch the iLearningGlobal Presentation and then visit the iLearningGlobal.TV website for more information.
