Everyone in the world has just 24 hours in a day to get all of their business done. However, with work, kids, a spouse, taking care of a home and everything else we put on ourselves it seems we have much less time than ever. That’s why it’s so important to work smarter not harder. No matter how many hours you have each week to work on your home based business here are a few tips that will help you get the most out of your work time.
Tip Number One - Keywords!
Keywords are so important to the life of your online business. They are what will allow you to do something once and have people find it online for months and months and years and years. For example, you make a Youtube video talking about your business.
If you don’t use any keywords maybe a few people will stumble upon it and check it out. However, if you use the right keywords THOUSANDS of people might see that video. People can even be looking at your blog, video, website or articles while you’re sitting on a beach somewhere on vacation. Now that’s what I call working smarter!
Tip Number Two - Skip The Ads
While free online classifieds like Backpage and Craigslist are free of charge they don’t give you the most for your time because you have to do them over and over again in order for them to be effective. When working online you want to find things that you can do once and never have to do again.
Tip Number Three - Blog
It amazes me just how many people own a home based business but never take the time to make a blog or update it. A blog post should literally only take about 15 minutes, quick and simple. Even if you’re not a good writer you should be able to knock out a couple of blog posts a week and if you do it will pay off especially if you use keywords.
Tip Number Four - Articles
Once of the most tried and true methods of generating prospects online is article marketing. It’s free and if you’re not a good writer you can always buy home based business PLR articles that you can re-write a bit and us as your own. Article marketing might take a bit more time to submit to directories but they work so well because the articles stay up for years and years and will continue to grow your business for you even if you’re not working.
Tip Number Five - Take Small Breaks
You’ll be more effective, creative and work harder if you allow yourself small breaks while you’re working try giving yourself a 15 minute break ever hour and a half. Any longer and you might stop working all together, any shorter and it won’t really feel like a break at all.

Your Journey to Success
It’s a cold hard fact that when you begin your journey to success in a home based business you’re going to hear a few snickers here and there. You might even have people in your life who will down right laugh at you and tell you it’s not possible. However, if you can learn to ignore these negative influences you could end up having the last laugh yourself.
I don’t know exactly why it is that whenever people decide to do something that’s a little bit out of the ordinary it makes others so uncomfortable but it really does. People are comfortable with their jobs. Having a boss, having an office and having a steady paycheck are what 99% of the world deems to be safe and normal.
The idea of giving up all of that to start your own business might seem a little crazy to some people because they don’t fully understand it. There are people in the world who were simply born to be employees and there’s nothing wrong with that, you will just have to learn to ignore it when people question you because the rewards of working from home are more than worth it!
If you’ve ever been hurt by the negative feelings of friends or family you should take all of that negative energy and channel it into working even harder to prove them wrong. Nobody can argue with results and when people see that you’re making more money, driving a better can and all around living a better life they’ll be forced to eat their words.
There can not be rewards in life without taking some risks. It may seem right now that you’re doing something completely crazy but if you work hard and continue to grow you’ll start to see the results more and more and so will everyone else around you. Ignore what the negative voices tell you and you’ll end up laughing all the way to the bank.

Top 3 Types of Women in MLM
There are three very different types of women in the network marketing or home based business industry. Do you know what they are? Better yet do you know who YOU are? If not keep on reading to find out.
The Dreamers
The dreamers make up a lot of the network marketing industry and the truth is they aren’t limited to women. The dreamers are the people who say they want success but aren’t really ever going to go after it full force. Most dreamers will attend meetings and conference calls but they lack the courage or confidence to take their business to the next level. It’s sad because the dreamers could have an amazing future working from home but it is their fear and their self doubt that hold them back.
You have to watch out for the dreamers too because they have a tendency to bring people down with them. Once you’ve seen one dreamer you’ve seen them all and they’ll become very easy to spot. A whole lot of talking and pretty much zero action.
The Workers
The workers are women who work outside the home. They’re use to dealing with the business world and they’re savvy. The workers know what it takes to succeed in business and they’ll do whatever it takes to make it happen. They’re usually motivated by nice things like big homes, fancy cars and designer clothes. A worker is someone to be watched because they’re going places.
They might seem like a dreamer at times but the difference is they’re actually doing the work to back up their claims.
The Moms
The moms make up everything that is awesome about working from home. They’re able to build a business, keep up with their friends and be a great mom all at the same time.
The difference between a dreamer and a mom is that they, like the workers, won’t stop until they see their dreams become reality. They have a great “why” in their children and they’ll do anything they can to provide a great life for them. If you’ve got a hard working mom on your hands watch out!
