 When you work from home, you may be in business FOR yourself but you never have to be in business BY yourself. You have the choice to social network with other like-minded entrepreneurs and benefit from their knowledge and encouragement. Here are a few Internet home business friends who inspire me.© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.comI am a member of several online social networks where I interact regularly with home based business entrepreneurs from around the world. In today's web biz blog post I am going to tell you about two who have inspired and encouraged me over the past few days. Web Bizz Blog ImprovementsThe basic plan for my Internet home business is to create a marketing site ( StarrBizz.com) that is appealing to visitors in both design and content. I feel somewhat confident in my "eye for design" but my technical skills are severely lacking. However, thanks to web biz mentors and friends, I am learning. The page template for my website is one that many other marketers also use. We have the freedom to change and modify the template any way we want, but for inexperienced designers like myself, it is a long, slow process. On occasion, we get really brave and ask our home business friends and associates for "feedback." Well, you know what they say about honesty; the truth sometimes hurts. You like to think you're doing everything right and there's nothing more you can do to improve ... and then the feedback arrives. (I say that with a chuckle.)  Fortunately, when your friends are supportive and want to see you succeed, the feedback they provide is constructive, relative and helpful. Ros Bott, The Career Life Coach, gave me some advice for my Web Bizz Blog a couple of days ago that should have been obvious to me. Ros said to add some pictures or graphics to help break up long stretches of text. Duh. I know that. So why wasn't I doing it? Good question. Mental block? I really don't know. Thanks, Ros, for waking me up!I already knew how to insert photos and graphics, but the challenge I had was knowing how to "wrap" or "float" text around the graphics. This is where my next Internet home business friends come in.  Leon and Deana Bowes, Christian Home Based Business, don't know it yet, but they provided the inspiration and technical knowledge I needed to decipher the "text floating" challenge. Knowing that some of my Internet Marketing friends use interesting design ideas, I looked around and noticed that Leon and Deana use graphics with floated text at the beginning of their blog posts. Sooo ... I took a sneak peek at their source code and discovered the secret to text floating success. Thanks, Leon and Deana!I can't end this blog post without acknowledging my own dear spouse who is not directly involved in my home based web biz, but supports me in other ways. She spent time surfing the Internet looking for design solutions and we also spent some "quality time" together scanning through an HTML sourcebook seeking solutions. She is my life partner AND my best friend!Building a business can be challenging, but remember this: you are not alone. You can enhance the experience by drawing strength from Internet home business friends who inspire you.

Finally, I can reveal the source of all my secrets to Search Engine Success. My favourite SEO expert's new eBook, "3 Steps to Search Engine Success" has just been released!© GT Bulmer http://www.StarrBizz.comActually, I'm being a bit dramatic there. The secrets to Search Engine Success aren't really secret. And neither is the source of much of my Search Engine Optimization (SEO) information. Suzanne Morrison is one of my home based Internet business mentors and it is Suzanne's SEO expertise that has been guiding the progress of my StarrBizz.com website towards the top of the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). Suzanne's new eBook, 3 Steps to Search Engine Success, provides thorough, step-by-step SEO guidance in simple language. StarrBizz.com is improving in the SERPs weekly because of what I am learning and applying from Suzanne's guidance. For many struggling home based Internet business marketers, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and success in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) may seem like a difficult subject to understand and master, but really, there are three steps that make the task easier to grasp: 1) Keyword Research: Basically, you want keywords that get a good number of searches each month, but don't have an overwhelming amount of competition from other online marketers. 2) On Site Optimization: You want to optimize certain areas and certain features of your website; titles, tags, headlines, content, ALT tags in your images, even your choice of domain name. 3) Off Site Optimization: Off site, you want to focus on Article Marketing, building backlinks, submitting your site to directories, posting in forums, commenting on blogs and social bookmarketing. If you are an experienced online marketer, these three steps will not be difficult for you. If you are still building your knowledge and experience with Internet marketing and SEO, then you might benefit from 3 Steps to Search Engine Success because it explains these three steps in much more detail and provides you with links to tools, like: - Keyword Research Tool - There are several available, some are free. - Keyword Density Tool - Free ones available. - Backlink Checking Tool - Several available, most are free. - Page Rank Checker - Free ones available. - Website Visitor Statistics Tool - Free ones available. Between the explanations and definitions, the step-by-step instructions and graphics and the tools just mentioned, the new training guide, 3 Steps to Search Engine Success, makes learning and applying effective Search Engine techniques a breeze. Here are a couple of recent posts from my Web Bizz Blog that highlight a few elements from 3 Steps to Search Engine Success: * Keyword Phrases Are Vital For Search Engine Success* Search Engine No-No'sFew online marketers experience success who do not work on improving their Search Engine Optimization practices. There are no shortcuts to success; you need to follow the steps. Search Engine Optimization has now been simplified and you can experience excellent results by following this new 3 Steps to Search Engine Success guide, brought to you from my favourite SEO Expert, Suzanne Morrison. Home based Internet business ideas and opportunities are fine to promote, but unless you properly optimize your website for Search Engine Success, you might find yourself running around in circles. Pick up a copy of 3 Steps to Search Engine Success and save yourself a LOT of time and unnecessary hassle.
