Saving Time and Money for Work at Home Entrepreneurs
Working at Home?
Time is of the Essence!
I’ve heard people say that the main reason that they want to work at home is because they can work only when they want to work. It IS true that you can set your own work hours when you work at home but it does NOT mean that you don’t have to have set work hours.
A ‘hit or miss’ work schedule…or rather, the lack of any work schedule at all, simply will not work. Time is of the Essence! YOUR time!
Working at home can be a very, very good thing. You can be at home to see the kids off to school and be at home when they get home. You can put a load of laundry in and it can run through the cycles while you are working.
You can have dinner cooked before a hungry family descends like a flock of hungry buzzards. All of those things are real perks that you automatically get when you work at home.
Working at home can also be a very, very bad thing if you do not plan your time well and if you do not set up a work schedule that you and your family can live with. When you work at home, time really is of the essence.
You must make very good use of the time that you spend working. If you are not efficient in accomplishing the tasks that must be done, you will either spend too much time working or you will fail miserably at your work at home job or business.
You must set up a work schedule for yourself when you work at home and then you must enforce that work schedule for yourself and insist that you family and friends also adhere to your work schedule.
A job out in the brick and mortar world does two things; (1) It provides a structure for your day and (2) it tells your family and friends that your time is spoken for during your working hours. You will notice that both of these things that a regular job provides both relate to your TIME.
First let’s discuss the structure that a regular job provides and how you can apply that structure to your work at home job or business. When you have a job that you go to outside your home, you are required to be at that job at a specified time on specified days of the week.
When you have a work at home job or business, you need that same kind of structure. You need to set regular working hours. The freedom that a work at home job provides is that you can choose the hours…but you do have to choose!
Now let’s talk about your family and friends and how they are going to view your work at home job. It is a strange but very true fact that your dear mother would not DREAM of calling you at your ‘real’ job and asking you to drive Aunt Rosie to the beauty shop and wait for her….after all….you are WORKING and can’t be expected to leave your job to run errands. Right?
That very same considerate mother WILL call you and ask you to take Aunt Rosie to the beauty shop and wait for her when you are working at home. Why? Because you are at home and available, that’s why.
Your dear, sweet mother will not see your work at home job as a ‘real’ job. Your spouse will also see you as being free to run errands. Your friends will see you as being available for long telephone conversations, lunch or for a coffee klatch.
You can see the problem. If YOU do not schedule your time and abide by your schedule yourself, others will not. Unless you see your work at home job as a REAL job with REAL working hours, your time will be eaten up. You will not accomplish the tasks that you need to accomplish.
You will fail and find yourself out looking for a REAL job unless you see your work at home job as the REAL THING with regular working hours that make you unavailable for other activities.
The best way to accomplish using your time to your own best advantage with your work at home job or business is to make a schedule and tell your family and friends what that schedule is.
You don’t have to be rude but you do have to be firm. Make it clear to all. “I will be working between 9 AM and 3 PM Monday through Friday. On those days and during those hours, I am NOT available to run errands or take personal phone calls or entertain company.” Then stick to it!
Wise Time Management Tips for Work-at-Home Entrepreneurs
Time for work-at-home entrepreneurs is their single most valuable asset. Nothing can replace time…valuable, precious time!
No matter how rich or poor you are, no matter how many things are on your ‘to-do’ list, you still just get the regulation twenty-four hours each day. Sometimes I could use another twenty-four but that isn’t going to happen. I’ll bet that you could use more hours in your work day, as well.
The thing about those twenty-four allotted hours per day is that we can’t spend all of them working. We have to sleep some of them. We have to take time to eat and there is the occasional shower, too. ☺
Our families and our friends require some of our time. Relationships must be nurtured. So…we can allow ourselves just so many work hours each day. Since our working time is limited that means that we must make the very most of the hours that we work. We can’t waste time on unimportant details or on tasks that others can do.
When you shave a few minutes here and a few minutes there, you will make more efficient use of your allotted work hours. Here are a few suggestions and in the interest of saving your time (and mine), I’ll keep this brief and to the point.
Email account efficiency: We all have various email accounts. We use one account for this and another account for that. Checking each and every email account more than once a day can be a time consuming task that you very easily make less time consuming by having all of the email that comes to all of your various email account to come into one gmail account. One email account takes a lot less time than several and you can still maintain all of your various email addresses.
Additionally, you don’t need to spend a lot of time reading and answering emails that are not going to add to your bottom line.
Email comes in several varieties. There are emails that are business related, emails that are important but not business related and emails that are simply frivolous and time wasting. If an email has been forwarded several times, don’t waste your time.
If an email is addressed to a great many people, don’t waste any time on it either. Email can consume a lot of time. You need to filter the important from the irrelevant and only spend time on those emails that are related to your business.
Set up time tables to help you prioritize your work day: A scheduled work day is an efficient work day. You will get a lot more done in a lot less time if you know in advance and can see at a glance what task is next on your list. I like visual aids. A time table is a visual aid. It can help you allot your time efficiently and productively!
Focus on result producing activities: When you make your work day schedule, you need to be certain that the tasks that you schedule are the ones that will in fact make your business grow and thrive. Don’t waste your time, effort and energy on tasks that can be done by others.
Take time to investigate outsourcing. You can add hours to your day each and every day when you outsource the mundane business tasks to others.
You can outsource such tasks as bookkeeping and accounting, article/E-book writing and submission, travel and event planning and ad writing. Others can do these tasks better and more efficiently than you can and your time is better spent on growing your business, making those contacts and closing those deals!
Shave time off of counter-productive activities: Like I said, your friends and families do required some of your time but you can also waste a whole ton of time on such unproductive activities as watching TV.
You will be really surprised at how much of your day that you waste if you keep a record of your time expenditures over the course of several days’ time.
Now don’t misunderstand me. We all need down time. We all must relax our minds as well as our bodies. We can’t be all business all the time but we can limit our unproductive or counterproductive activities.
Time is precious and time is limited. We need to make the very best use of every minute of every day that we possibly can.
Outsourcing: How to Get More Done in Less Time
Time really does equal money. You are an internet entrepreneur and you need to ask yourself what the best use of your time really is because it is YOUR time that equals money. The health of your bottom line is directly affected by the way that you choose to allot your working hours.
First let’s discuss what your job really is as an internet entrepreneur. Your job is to grow your business. Your job is to make those contacts that will make you money. Your job is to conceive ideas and bring them to fruition. Your job is to close that deal! You do agree with that description of your job duties as an internet entrepreneur, don’t you?
Okay! Now let’s discuss what your job as an internet entrepreneur is NOT. Being an internet entrepreneur does not qualify you as an accountant, an advertising guru or a writer. You aren’t qualified to be an event planner or a travel agent. When you decided to become an internet entrepreneur that did not automatically make you a ‘jack-of-all-trades’.
You can waste a lot of your valuable time on tasks that you just plain aren’t very good at. You are the idea man/woman. It IS your job to make your business grow and you’ll be good at that provided that is where you use your time and direct your energies.
If you insist upon doing everything yourself, whether you are good at it or not, you will use up all of your thought and energy and have nothing left to do the things that only YOU can do to make your business grow.
Hire an accountant or a bookkeeping service: Every business must keep a record of its day to day financial transactions and even the smallest of transactions add up to big tax deductions over the period of a year.
You can’t simply file everything under ‘miscellaneous’ and you can’t spend an hour or so every day taking care of just mundane bookkeeping duties either. Bookkeepers and accountants only charge for the time that they actually spend working for you. Usually they have many clients.
If they spend one hour working on your records then you will only be charged for that one hour. YOU aren’t a bookkeeper or an accountant and you would have likely spent three or four hours doing the same tasks and then with questionable results. Hire an accountant or a bookkeeping service!
Hire a VA (Virtual Assistant): A virtual assistant can save you hours and hours of time on the mundane tasks that are required to be accomplished in order to run a successful internet business.
A VA can check your email and send only the emails that you need to personally deal with to you. Internet entrepreneurs get more junk mail than anybody! A good VA can also act as a travel agent and make airline and hotel reservations for you. Hire a VA!
Use ghost writers and article submission services: Writing articles and E-books is always a big part of all internet marketing no matter what the niche might be. You will need to have website content and you will also need to submit articles and E-books to banks and repositories for others to use along with your resource box in order to build your online credibility.
Ghost writers will post to blogs and forums for you above your own signature file that includes your name and website. Some ghost writers will also submit articles and E-books to banks and repositories for you. If the ghost writer that you employ does not, then you can seek an articles submission company to do that time consuming task for you as well.
Use an advertising agency: Now advertising agencies don’t work cheap so you will need to be very, very specific about what you want them to do for your business. You can likely get PPC advertisements written rather reasonably and even that will be a huge help to you time wise.
There are only just so many hours in a day and you can only spend just so many of those hours working at making your online business successful. There IS still life outside of business.
You have friends and family that do require some measure of your time. That makes it even more vital that you use your time to make your business grow and not waste your time by spending doing the everyday tasks that can take so much of your valuable time.
Think outsourcing!
Guerrilla Methods: How to Save Money and Spend Less Than
Your Competitors
Oh, the dreaded ‘B’ word! No, not THAT ‘B’ word I’m talking about the BUDGET ‘B’ word. The formula for determining profit is a really simple one and the one that all budgets are based upon. Income – Expenses = Profit.
It isn’t complicated and you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that there are two ways to improve your profit; (1) increase income or (2) decrease expenses. If you can figure out how to both simultaneously, please let me know how.
It would be really nice if we could just crank up the burners and make more money, wouldn’t it? Unfortunately increasing income is much harder than decreasing expenses when it comes to improving your bottom line.
Fortunately, working at home comes with some built in savings right up front. You don’t have to buy that expensive gasoline to get to and from work. You don’t have to keep your working wardrobe up to date.
You can eat a PBJ sandwich for lunch in your own kitchen. And all of these are good money-saving things that just come with the territory when you work at home.
There are, however, some other measures that you can take to help decrease your work at home expenses. Here are some money saving ideas:
Idea #1: Don’t buy every piece of software that comes down the pike. Most of us who work at home are software junkies. We LOVE software….all kinds of software…and before we know it we have software on top of software and more software than we need or even can use.
Idea #2: Don’t buy bigger programs than you need. Often programs that help us accomplish the necessary tasks are offered in various sizes. You might be planning on having a hundred employees next year but you don’t need software to manage a hundred employees this year. You can always upgrade when the time comes. Today you need to save the bucks and go with only what you need today.
Idea #3: Don’t spend unnecessary advertising dollars. So many times new entrepreneurs will start out running PPC advertising with absolute abandon. They will choose every single key word and phrase possible and then let the PPC advertisements run 24/7. This is a huge waste of advertising dollars.
You need to learn to read the statistics that are provided to you by search engines and gear your advertisements to only appear in search results under very controlled circumstances and only during specific hours. It isn’t hard to run up a PPC bill of several thousand dollars in a very short period of time and not make a single sale in the process.
Idea #4: Take full advantage of free advertising to build your business and your credibility. There are free ways to advertise that are almost as effective as PPC advertising and paid-for advertising in E-zines and newsletters. Some of these free advertising methods are:
Write E-books and articles and submit them to E-book repositories and article banks for others to use free of charge. (These articles and E-books are accompanied by your resource box and includes your name and your website address.)
Post to blogs and forums that are related to the products and services that you sell. You post above a signature that includes your name and your website address.
A banner exchange with another website owner who promotes products and services that are complimentary to the products and services you sell is yet another method of free advertising.
Build a long and impressive opt-in list. Email advertising is free but you need the recipient’s permission to send advertising emails.
Learn to make your email advertisements viral. There are a great many techniques that can be used to encourage the recipients of your advertising emails to share them with friends and family.
Idea #5: Sign up with a good flat-rate long distance telephone service. The internet is a worldwide place of business and it isn’t hard to run up a long distance bill of several thousand dollars pretty quickly. A flat-rate long distance telephone service can save you a lot of money over time.
The bottom line here is to remember the formula for determining profit; Income – Expenses = Profit.
It’s great to increase income when you can but you can always find ways to decrease expenses if you look for them. When you spend less, you make more and that will blow your competitors away!

How to Create An Out-Of-Control Viral Marketing Campaign!
“Powerful Techniques On Viral List Building, AffiliateMarketing And Brand Name Building While Leveraging On The Internet!”
Welcome To “How To Create An Out-Of-Control Viral Marketing Campaign!”
This book will briefly tell you about viral marketing techniques and how to utilize them to generate lots of commissions online!
I know a guy who has generated more than $500 of commissions completely on autopilot! And this isn’t one of the best examples because viral marketing traffic can make you rich if you do it right!
In this book, we will briefly explore the following techniques:
The concept behind viral marketing
Tell a friend viral marketing
Master Resell Rights Viral marketing
Private Label Viral marketing
Blog & Theme Viral marketing
Web 2.0 Viral marketing
Viral Spiral marketing
We will look at these concepts one by one and you will know how to find a method that you can utilize (or use ALL of them if you like) to build your campaigns.
Let’s get started right now!
Note: (Results may differ from person to person and it all depends on how hard you work!)
Chapter 2: Why Viral Marketing?
Here are a few reasons why viral marketing is very important!
Leverage On Other People’s List
Internet marketing gurus always talk about building your mailing list. Mailing lists are important because it is true that the money is always in the list.
Most of the time, some Internet marketers will beg other marketers (especially those with a bigger list size) to promote their products, do an ad swap or help them to build their own lists in general.
But what if, instead of relying on YOUR OWN LIST, you can LEVERAGE on other people’s list?
You see, in Internet marketing, there is always someone who has a biggest list size than you. These people will always want to sell products.
If you can create products (such as master resell rights or no restriction private label rights products) and give them the rights to sell YOUR products with YOUR ads in it, you will be getting constant advertising for FREE and people are doing it WILLINGLY for you!
After all, when you promote a product to your list, it is still limited in the sense that you can only mail your list once or twice, but having your products being promoted all over the Internet, will take the burden off the lists and give you additional streams of income.
The Power Of Exponential Growth
Many people neglect the power of viral marketing because they have this misconception that it yields very little at the start. They feel that they would rather promote their products by themselves rather than share the product with other resellers.
The same applies with blog posts. (See the chapter on blogs and themes below).
Let’s do a little math.
Would you rather make $100,000 a month or make build a campaign that doubles in revenue starting at $0.01 a day for every next day?
1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 ……… MILLIONS!
The power of exponential growth tells us that you will become a millionaire after almost 30 days! (2 to the power of 30!!!)
Do you see the power of viral marketing?
Whether you are getting one new subscriber a day or one sale a day, you will be able to generate lots of traffic just by viral marketing alone!
Now to be realistic, even with the UNLIMITED growth potential on the Internet, there will come a time where there is a saturation point. But it still doesn’t dispute the fact that there are millions of customers (and many resellers) that will market for you and expand your efforts FOR YOU!
It is always a good idea to build several viral marketing channels. That way, even when your viral campaign starts to slow down (due to saturation), you will still be able to leverage on many channels and build your list or your affiliate commissions.
In the subsequent chapters, we will explore a few tools, both free and paid sources that will enable you to build several viral campaigns and watch as traffic beats a path to your virtual doorstep!
Chapter 3: Tell A Friend Viral Marketing
One of the easiest forms of viral marketing is by telling a friend.
You see, telling a friend will work under three conditions:
The sender has something to benefit from it
The receiver has something to benefit from it
The method of sending the product is EASY TO FACILITATE!
With Mike Filsaime’s Viral Friend Generator, you are able to get at least three new impressions should the subscriber decide to tell a friend in exchange for a gift.
Does it meet the three requirements above? Let’s see how it works…
This is one example of using Viral Friend Generator.
When someone opts in to the form, they are redirected to this WAIT page and they are given the option to refer a minimum of 3 friends (more is offered).
So as you can see, condition no.1 is met – should they successfully refer three friends, the sender is given a gift!
Condition 2 is also met because most probably, those that the sender referred will get gifts as well.
Condition 3 is also met because Viral Friend Generator automates the tell-a-friend process automatically for you without spamming anyone.
When all three conditions are met, the campaign becomes viral – mission accomplished!
Chapter 4: Master Resell Rights Viral Marketing
What’s the big deal about master resell rights?
Well, simply put, you are able to create an E-product and the owner of the product has the rights to resell the product for any price that they want.
The resellers will be doing promotions for you and spread your name all around the Internet. Not only that, they will not be able to alter your book in anyway, they will just sell it in the current form.
Here are 2 ways you can create a huge viral campaign out of MRR products:
Write your own (or hire a ghostwriter) product and give MRR rights.
Find somebody else’s MRR product with re-branding rights and place your own affiliate links.
Later on, place those products on well known membership sites.
Chapter 5: Private Label Viral Marketing
Everyone knows that PLR is one of the best rights someone can have for an E-book, because it allows you do whatever you want with it (well, almost).
However, even PLR has certain restrictions such as non-transferable rights or bundling rights (just like certain resell rights).
But one of the advantages of NO RESTRICTION private label rights is the fact that you can SELL the private label rights of the book – hence you let the book go viral almost immediately!
Certain PLR resellers even include a SALES LETTER for the resellers to easily edit the contents of the sales letter.
Do you know what this means?
Reseller after reseller selling the best rights to the book all across the Internet!
This is the best way to get your affiliate links or promotions all over the Internet very quickly!
But then, what happens if the resellers EDIT the contents of the book, you may ask? Wouldn’t that reduce the effectiveness of the viral effect?
Well, the solution to that is very simple… human beings are LAZY by nature. They will just cut and paste the sales letter and sell the products AS IT IS. Because it is too much work for them to redo the content, they will all sell the products most likely in the ORIGINAL FORM.
This often sells faster than master resell rights and if you embed your affiliate links or promotions carefully, it will give resellers a LOT of resistance when they try and edit your book!
Look for resellers who sell NO RESTRICTION PLR books and contribute to their package if you want to achieve the ultimate viral effect!
Chapter 6: Blog & Theme Viral Marketing
One of the other ways to create a viral marketing campaign besides using or reselling E-books is to use blogs and blog themes to market yourself.
Here is a three step process that will allow you to get lots of traffic to your website:
Approach a high traffic blogger and ask if you can be a contributor to their blog for a particular blog post or topic.
Write an EXCELLENT blog post that will get people’s attention (especially on these high traffic blogs).
Leave a bio box or a link that traces back to your own site.
Now, the question you may ask is, why don’t you reserve the best content for your OWN blog? Wouldn’t that brand you better?
Well this is actually selfish thinking… good things must be shared, not hidden under a basket.
High traffic blogs give you more exposure!
If you have a blog that has low traffic, it will not reach out to many people but if you give your content away to others, high traffic will get you noticed and if they LIKE your blog post, they will spread the word (using ‘social bookmarking’ sharing) and you will get a lot of traffic to your site very quickly!
You can also design your own blog theme and give it away for free!
One thing wonderful about free blog themes is that if it is given away for free and it is used by someone’s blog, a few things can happen:
They upload your blog theme and there is a backlink to YOUR site.
Those who upload your blog theme will be able to follow a link from the Wordpress Presentation Theme and you can promote yourself even from there.
People will recommend your blog theme if it looks beautiful!
Chapter 7: Web 2.0 Viral Marketing
One of the newest yet oldest form of viral marketing is the usage of E-mail and Web 2.0 sites.
Remember the video called ‘Numa Numa’ who had this guy lip-syncing to a song… it was one of the MOST VIRAL VIDEOS of all time.
The owner of the site had TONS of traffic flooding into his site everyday and people everywhere WANT to imitate him and do their own parodies of the ‘Numa Numa Dance’ as well.
Another good example is the ‘Diet Coke & Mentos’ scenario.
Basically, when you have something interesting or extreme, people will tend to share it with their friends through forwarded E-mails, but in the case of Internet marketing, you can do a lot more if you play your cards right.
Facebook drives a lot of traffic as well because of the way they link applications and photos (tagging). For example, you can join an application for a game that builds empires using ‘GOLD’. They offer you MORE gold when you refer your friends to that application. That is how they build their list!
You can do the same by driving traffic to your opt-in forms, landing pages or blogs and you will be able to build viral traffic very quickly!
Chapter 8: Viral Spiral Marketing
This is a new concept introduced by Tim Brocklehurst.
Here’s what he says.
It’s no secret that JVs (joint ventures) and cross promotions are one of the most productive ways to make high volumes of sales on the Internet.
Traditionally, JVs are most common between two people who have created a product and are selling it online. But that needn't be the case and there is a way in which you can get all the benefits, traffic and sales of a JV without even having a product of your own.
What actually happens in a JV cross-promotion?
Websites promote other websites for two main reasons:
1. To earn income from commission sales.
2. To pay, or earn, favors.
The first of these you might expect, the second is more intricate.
You see, when you're running an online business, your options and your growth are restricted if you try doing it all on your own. Sure, there's pay-per-click advertising, article marketing, traffic exchangers, and a variety of ways you can draw traffic to your site by paying for it.
But nothing beats personal recommendation.
Its human nature: We all prefer to buy through personal recommendation than by enticing advertisements.
And JV’s or cross-promotions are all about personal recommendation.
The only thing is - as every super-affiliate knows - even if you're offering attractive commission rates; the site that's getting promoted always gets more out of the deal than the JV partner who's doing the promoting. Look at this comparison:
The JV partner doing the promotion gets:
1. A 'notional' favor from the site it promotes.
2. Commission payments, hopefully paid in good time but always at the discretion of the site owner.
The site being promoted gets:
1. Lots of new list members
2. Lots of Sales
3. Lots of recognition
Which would you rather?
Can you see now why the benefit isn't split evenly in a JV deal?
This is one of the reasons why it is more difficult than many people think to get JV partners promoting for you.
No matter how attractive your commission percentages are, you will always be getting more out of the deal than your JV partner. Especially if your landing page is a list-building squeeze page.
But there is an option available. Especially if your aim is to build a list.
You could run a MyViralSpiral site.
MyViralSpiral is a web server script that gives you a complete solution for building a list and a business online. One of its features is that it turns the above JV example on its head to provide more of a win-win for both parties. Here's what you can do with it:
As a list builder, you can offer a squeeze page for your JV partner to promote. He then sends his list to the squeeze page, where they sign up to your list. Then, this is when it gets interesting:
Your JV partner can decide which offer page his signups are directed to after signup. Gone is the traditional method whereby once his leads have signed up to you they're yours, to direct wherever you like. With MVS, your JV partner can choose what to show them *after* they've joined your list...
It might be to his own product, or an affiliate link somewhere else - or he may choose to use his affiliate link for your product (in keeping with the normal method).
Traditionally, JVs are most common between two people who have created a product and are selling it online. But that needn't be the case and there is a way in which you can get all the benefits, traffic and sales of a JV without even having a product of your own.

The point is, your JV partner has more say about who benefits from his promotion and how. And that kind of power makes all the difference when
it comes to getting others to promote for you, and build your list.
This is one of many characteristics of MyViralSpiral that make it well worth a good look if you want to start building JV relationships.
