Even though its the holidays, its still a great time to start or continue working at home. Holidays are a great time to promote your business as people are looking for quality and unique gifts. If you start a business not only can you get holiday shoppers to help jump start your sales, but you can save on your own gift giving (by shopping from yourself) and you can get tax deductions! So don't put off working at home. Some of the most successful home businesses were started in December!

I was recently profiled in my local paper. Check out the Pajama Mama in the Fluvanna Review.

Mark your calendar for January 2007 for the Work-At-Home Success Expo. So far I've lined up several speakers for the Work-At-Home Success Expo including Ernie Zelinski author of The Joy of Not Working, Steve Slaunwhite author of Start and Run a Copywriting Business, and Nicole Dean of Ladypens and Show Mom the Money. The WAHS Expo will be a free virtual expo to help you learn about working at home and design a plan to make it happen. If you have a business related to working at home, find out how you can promote your products or services at the WAHS Expo!  Learn more here!

Tips, Tidbits and Inspiration

Blogging to Increase Home Business Profits by Sherry Frewerd

Blogging has taken off. Everywhere you look there’s a new blog on one subject or another. How can you, as a home business owner, incorporate a blog into your business method to increase your overall profits? Blogs have many applications and there are a number of ways that they can help you either advertise your business, a current promotion or idea. Here are few ideas for using a blog in your business:

Content Management - By using blog software, you can efficiently mange the content of your website. Good content management system software allows you to add multiple authors, multiple blogs and static pages to your website. It enhances readability and as a result generates traffic to your website.

Organizational Updates - Blog software gives you the option to sort blog entries chronologically. The latest entry is given first place for better readability. You can also post to your business blogs via email.

Develops Effective Customer Relations - A blog increases credibility and boosts customer relations of an organization. A well-written blog entices the curiosity of a visitor and increases business. Readers can ask questions and clarify any doubts through the same blog.

Boost Product Sales - A blog describing your products attracts customers to your website. Simultaneously, it keeps customers informed on the latest developments about the products or services of your company/business.





For your Target Market – Blogs aimed at a target audience or market will help establish your credibility in that particular area, bringing more traffic and sales your way.

Blogs on Technical Subjects - Blogs filled with relevant and detailed technical information on various issues are invariably used by service professionals. These blogs enhance their knowledge and credibility about the subject, problem solving issues and much more.

Tool for Internal Communication - A blog can play a key role in effective communication within your business. Working especially well in direct sales or network marketing businesses where teams of individuals communicate with one another regularly. It displays all the latest events and the future programs of an organization.

Quite obviously, blogs, when used for more than a personal journal can help your home business immensely. Another tool for you to utilize to increase your business and profits, blogging is something that every home business owner should try.

Marketing Tips

How to Advertise with Flyers by Terri Seymour

When you first start out on your business venture,
money is usually tight but you still need to advertise.
One of the most affordable, yet very effective, ways to
begin your advertising campaign is with flyers. Flyers
are simply full page ads that are distributed directly
to your potential customers. There are several ways
in which they can be distributed.

You can either make the flyers yourself or have them
made professionally, which might not be in the budget.
;-) There are several points to remember when designing
your flyer, just as in writing ads or any other sales copy.






1. You want your flyer to get people's attention, so don't just
use your boring, standard white paper. Use bright, alive and
cheerful colors to bring out the message you are trying to
convey.

2. The flyer's purpose is to sell, not to let everyone know
your name. The flyer is not a business card. On the flyer,
you want to highlight your problem solving product/service.

For example: Ants a problem in your house. We can get
rid of them in just a few hours. No more problem!

3. Use incentives and/or closing dates to get people
to act NOW!

4. Adding a few testimonials to the flyer can also be
very effective. Highlight comments of past satisfied
customers. List your qualifications as well, making
sure to set yourself apart from other similar companies.

5. Another good idea is to encourage referrals. Having a
statement such as, " If you are not in need of our product
or service, please pass this along to someone who is." You
might be pleasantly surprised at how many customers this
one line can bring in!

6. Don't forget about the back of your flyer. Take advantage
of this space as well. List some of your specials, sales, more
testimonials, incentives, etc.

7. Do not stop at one try. You MUST follow-up!

8. Test your flyers as well. Use different incentives,
headlines, paper colors and see which ones get the best
response.

9. Distribute your flyers in targeted areas. If you offer a
business opportunity, try distributing them at the
unemployment office. If you offer weight loss products,
visit the local gyms and exercise studios.

There are several ways you can distribute your flyers, once
you have designed them and printed them out.

Post your flyers on Public Bulletin Boards found in grocery
stores, community centers, banks, post offices, laundromats,
etc.

Hand them out outside of targeted buildings such as
stores, unemployment office, restaurants, etc. Never
push your flyers on anyone. If they hand it back, smile
and accept it back. Do not block doorways or sidewalks!
If handing flyers out in stores, malls, etc., be sure and
get permission.

Parades and other public events are great places to hand
out flyers. Do not engage in conversation, just smile and
offer the flyers. If they do not take it, move on.

You can also distribute your flyers door-to-door. Leave
the flyers on the doorknob, not in mailboxes!

Talk with apartment building owners, real estate offices.
People just moving into the area are always in need of
this type of information.

Check with your town's ordinances. Leaving flyers on
people's cars might not be allowed in your city. Be sure
and know all local laws before starting your flyer
campaign!
