Note From Leslie
I'm over at MySpace now! I thought I was too old for MySpace, but I have discovered people of all ages as well as companies! So come check out The Pajama Mama at Myspace. And if you're a member, let me know!

*****
Are you a scanner? Do you have tons of projects you'd like to complete, places to go and people to see, but never seem to do any of it? That's me. I can barely manage the projects I have and yet I have lists of things I'd like to do (revamp other websites, write a mystery, decorate my home, start a podcast, etc), places I'd like to take my kids to and friends and family I'd to see more often. Most of these things just sit on my list. So I picked up Barbara Sher's book "Refuse to Choose: Use ALL of your interests, passions, and hobbies to create the life and career of your dreams". I have only just started it, but I'm hopeful that by the end, I'll be able to do everything on my list. If you don't know Barbara Sher she also wrote "Wishcraft" and "I Could Do Anything If Only I Knew What It Was..." both of which I recommend. She offers great advice and tips, practical steps to make change in your life, and profiles of others who were succeeded in creating their dream life. If, like me, you're overwhelmed with life and all you want to do, I recommend Refuse To Choose.

Tips, Tidbits and Inspiration

My Favorite Home Biz Ideas by Leslie Truex

I receive email everyday asking me what the "best" home business option is. The answer is: One that you will do. With that said, I have compiled a small list of home business ideas I like. Of course the list is not exhaustive, and in fact is limited to only those business that can be done 100% and mostly (99.99% of the time) online because that is the criteria I used when I wanted to work at home. If I had to start over today, these are business I would start. In fact, several of these businesses I currently run.

Copywriting:
If I had truly understood the copywriting industry; how lucrative it is and how easy it is to get started, I'd be a copywriter today. Every week I find jobs posted online for freelance copywriters to create sales, letters, ads, brochures, articles, web content and more. You don't need an English or Marketing degree to be a copywriter. Pick up books copywriting books by Robert Bly or Dan Kennedy and how to build a copywriting business by Steve Slaunwhite (you can listen to my interview with Steve at WAHS Expo) or Robert Bly. If you are really serious about copywriting, consider AWAI's Six Figure Copywriting Course. Its excellent.

Virtual Assistant: The chances of you getting hired to type at home is virtual nil, unless you are a virtual assistant. VA's are cyber secretaries or administrative assistants who do everything traditional secretaries do except get coffee. They transcribe documents, check email, make appointments, order supplies, post web content, write and/or edit written documents, provide customer service, and a whole lot more. While the number of VA jobs is growing, your best bet for success is to start a VA business. I recommend Nell Talercio's resources on How to Become a VA. You can check out my interview with Nell on becoming a VA at WAHS Expo.

Turning Interests Into Income: One of the fastest, cheapest and easiest ways to earn an income online is to use your knowledge and influence to help others. Do you know about organic gardening in the snow? Create a website and newsletter with information on this. Offer an ebook? Find companies with tools and resources for organic snow gardening to recommend on your site. Use Google's Adsense to earn income through advertisers. When your site is big, offer ad space. The key to success is to have helpful content, credibility, and a marketing plan. I recommend Rosalind Gardner's Super Affiliate Handbook to learn step-by-step how to turn what you know or like to do into cash online.


Network marketing: Nothing seems to strike fear into the hearts of would-be home business owners like the words network marketing. While some of its reputation is earned, a great deal of what people think they know or understand about network marketing is wrong. Slowly, the industry is gaining acceptance. Check out books in the financial section of your books store and odds are you are going to find several by well-known gurus (David Back of Finish Rich, Loral Langemeier or Millionaire Maker, Trump, Janet Switzer of Instant Income) who suggest network marketing or direct sales as a viable, affordable way to make money from home. These opportunities are especially appealing because they allow people to build residual income. With company retirement plans all but eliminated and the future of social security bleak, people need a way to leverage their time and money. Network marketing is the most affordable, family-friendly way of doing that. The key is to choose a reputable company with products and services you like. Further, it should be web friendly. Check out my article on Choosing a Home Business Opportunity for guidelines on selecting a safe, profitable network marketing opportunity as well my article on avoiding biz op deception.


Sell your  skills:  Can you bookkeep, write, design websites, or provide other web friendly services? Just like copywriting and VA services, you can market a skill you have.


Sell Your Stuff: Do you make terrific beaded jewelry? Have you invented the next great-mommy-helper gizmo? Do you know a good deal at a yard sale that can reap rewards with collectors? Besides affiliate programs, auction sites such as eBay has helped millions of people make money at home selling their junk, homemade items, or rare finds. Its easy to get started simply by selling unused or unwanted stuff around you home. If you're looking to grow a healthy income from auctions, I do recommend you read any of the many books available on building a successful auction site business.

Sell other peoples stuff: This is affiliate marketing and is related to turning your interests into income outlined above. If there is a product or service you love, check its site to see if it has an affiliate program. Success online entrepreneurs make their money because they truly love and are passionate about the products or services they sell or recommend. Again, I like Rosalind Gardener's Super Affiliate Handbook for all the information and tools you'll need to be a successful affiliate marketer.

Marketing Tips

Improving Conversion Rates: The Best Investment You Can Make In Your Web Site By Eric Graham

Possibly the most misunderstood part of online marketing is improving conversion rates...

Improving conversion rates produces some of the greatest returns on investment of any activity you can engage in while trying to improve the sales of your web site.






Maximizing your web sites conversion rates can produce a tremendous competitive advantage.

Niche after niche and industry after industry have proven that once a marketer with an obsession for maximizing traffic conversion enters the niche, its “game over” for the existing websites in that market that don’t adapt and begin improving their own conversion rates.

Customers and affiliates seem to almost magically gravitate towards the websites that have the highest conversion rates. And high converting websites can afford to far out spend the competition on marketing and advertising.

When it comes to increasing the sales of your online business, the basics are actually quite simple... There are only three things you need to focus on to improve your overall sales volume.

Those 3 things are:

1.Increasing the traffic to your website.
2.Increasing the average amount customers spend per visit.
3.Improving your visitor to sales conversion rates.

That’s it... Every revenue generating activity you can engage in to maximize your online profits falls under one of those three areas.

Unfortunately the vast majority of online businesses and internet marketers spend most of their time focusing on only one of those three critical areas. (And it’s often the least effective area.)

Increasing the average amount customers spend per visit and improving conversion rates have a far greater impact on your long term profitability than focusing exclusively on increasing the traffic to your web site.

Your web sites conversion rates are impacted by four main areas.

1.Usability.
2.Persuasion.
3.Trust.
4.Testing.

Usability is simply how easy it is for visitors to navigate your web site and how easy it is for them to accomplish whatever their particular goal is on your web site.

Persuasion is a measure of how effective your web sites copy, calls to action and other elements are at convincing visitors to purchase from you (or take the specific actions that you want them to take.)

Trust is an essential yet often overlooked element of the conversion process. Even if your web site is highly usable and persuasive, if your visitors do not trust you they will not buy from you.

Testing and tracking is where the big gains in conversion rate improvement come from. By focusing long-term on continually testing and improving your sales process on your web site you can increase conversion rates incrementally over time. These small improvements will compound to produce very large gains in conversion rates, sales and overall profitability.

The bottom line is this...

Developing a long term commitment to improving and maximizing your conversion rates will result in a devastating competitive advantage that will guarantee you dominance in any niche you decide to enter.

Because so few online businesses understand the tremendous power of maximizing conversion rates, even gaining a slight advantage will allow you to blast past your competition.
