It is rare for me to find something on the web that’s as entertaining and fascinating as what you have got here. Your page is sweet, your graphics are great, and what’s more, you use references that are relevant to what you are talking about. You’re definitely one in a million, well done!

First, you have mentioned USP a few times. What does that mean? Second, how do you determine how much to give away? If you give it all away, why would anyone pay?

Re: Your Online Business–Make a WordPress Blog Your Dynamic Hub

Rosie Horner — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 16:49:16 -0000

Ah, yes this is an awesome post. And your graphics are so cool. I would like to add that if anyone does a Wordpress.com or Blogger blog that they create a folder on their desktop and place each and every comment and post in it for the time that you get shut down for any strange reason. Keep up the powerful information hub you have on this site. Thanks

Re: Start Your Online Business–3 Reasons Why You Should or Shouldn’t

Peter Knight — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 21:09:33 -0000

Great points! I checked all three of those reasons for why I started doing business online. If I had to add a fourth it would be that it allows me to follow my curiosity and (hope)fully express my talents in ways that probably wouldn't be possible in other types of employment.
I would say being your own boss is one of the hardest things about running a business. That takes some serious skills & self knowledge.

What a reminder. I had heard of this before but didn't see the value of it for myself personally. Thanks to you, my eyes are open and I see a number of possibilities here.

Re: Entrepreneur Characteristics–My Father’s Story

Gjsuap — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 14:52:40 -0000

Hi!!

My mother's father was that kind of entrepreneur. He lost 3 business by changes in laws or new "inventions" from politicians. He already give his workers health attention in the closest hospital to his factory. He had an open account there and goes at the end of the month to pay the entire bill for his workers and families. But when the "Official Social Security" was introduced, they go and close his shop because "he didn't paid correctly the social security taxes". At the end? 300 people lost jobs AND medical care because "it was not the official security!".

Thanks for sharing, I do the same as well.

Nice strategy. What a lot of ebook writers don't think of is to publish their ebooks through amazon. They can then get an author blog which has a nice bit of authority and helps with search engine optimizations efforts. Links in author blog posts can be 'followed' links. Unfortunately, reviewer profiles look like they only have nofollow links. They don't actually help with your sites rankings so much, but they still help with visibility, reputation and for pulling in those visitors that are interested enough to click through.

My father was an entrepreneur and passed that spirit on to his daughters who have carried on the tradition. We have all worked for someone else for a time but return to form our own businesses.

Hi Linda,

I'm reading an old book called Successful Selling for Introverts. Thomas
Murphy talked about relationship marketing in a book written decades before
Twitter, Facebook and social marketing became the thing. I much prefer the
'not tuff' style of being an entrepreneur. It's great to know you're one
like me. Thanks for telling me.

Best,
Karen

Linda Nuyts — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 02:50:02 -0000

Hi Karen,
It is true, being an entrepreneur runs in your blood. I come from a family of entrepreneurs, both sides, but it was difficult for me growing up because for my family "I didn't have what it takes" to be one. Meaning I wasn't tuff enough... It took some time for me to realise I could be an entrepreneut 'new style'...

My father died when I was 27 and he was 48. But I'm sure he is smiling when he sees I am doing this "my way". He wouldn't have expected it any other way ;-)

Lot's of success!
Linda

Hi Karen!!

I didn't know that the Mini7 was planned! Of course, I discovered your blog as #Blog30 participant, and even you make me comments already. But for the friends who asked me that if is too late to bring in, Mini7 is a good option!

Thanks

I never thought of this and I wish I did because this is such a great idea. The author explained fully how to advertise your business at Amazon by writing reviews. It makes sense that this can help in driving traffic to your site to make people see what help there is in it for them.

Denise Wakeman is the Queen of the Blogosphere! Thanks so much for sharing how valuable Amazon is when it comes to promoting your business. A lot of online marketers overlook Amazon as a marketing venue.

I think I better read a few more books! :-)

Excellent way to describe the limiting beliefs that govern us. To call them "stories" is so wise. I am impressed and grateful that you're pointing this out to people and showing them how these stories affect not only their regular lives but their businesses too.
Thanks for posting this.

Oh, Karen, you've done it again!

You've taken a serious subject (and one we should all ponder) and you've managed to tickle my funny bone. "Your neighbor showed you how to make a meal out of potato peels". LOL!!

Love your writing style and your posts!

Money is a funny thing. Too often we carry around false thinking about it and how it should be used. I have heard that money is the root of all evil. But the truth is the love of money is the root of all evil. Thank you for getting us to take a real look at what baggage we need to let go of in our lives.
