Tips for Building a Good Flyer

In many of my articles I like to focus on web 2.0 and internet marketing. However, sometimes nothing beats a good old flyer. Yes, as much as I am a fan of internet marketing I also love flyers. I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it's because they are so simple or maybe it's because I have had great luck with them in the past but either way I believe that they are effective so I will continue to use them.

                          

Over the years I have used a bunch of different types of flyers and I've had mixed results. So from one flyer lover to another here are a few tips that I have picked up that will help you get better response from your flyers.

1. Use bright paper - It's the simplest thing in the world but honestly bright neon paper works better than white... it just does. Yes it costs a few cents more but it's totally worth it. I don't know why it works so well but it does.

2. Keep it short - Your flyer should be short and sweet. DO NOT write a whole long thing on a flyer it won't get read. you pretty much have 1.5 seconds to get their attention and nothing ruins that like a bunch of boring text. Keep it short!

3. Use a website - Websites work better than phone numbers. Some people don't want to pick up the phone and call but they will totally jump online and check you out. Again, I don't know why it works so much better but it really does!

4. Keep some mystery - Don't tell them the name of your company. Keep as much mystery as possible because you want them to go to your website and check it out. If you tell them everything on the flyer then it's all over they're never going to check out your site if they already have a good idea of who you are and what you do.

5. Make them laugh - If you can make someone laugh you've got them. They're going to remember you, they're going to show it to their friends/spouse/family and they're probably going to go to your website! Laughter and humor go a long way with stuff like this.

These are just a few tips that I believe will help you get a better response from your flyer campaign. Good luck and have fun creating your flyers!

I Want To Work From Home But I Don't Want To Fail

Fear of failure is a huge reason why so many people decide to hold off on joining a home based business. Nobody wants to feel like a failure or risk spending money on something that's not going to pay off for them. However, you don't want to miss out on doing something that could drastically change your life just because you're afraid.

Whenever you start a business there is a chance that you could somehow fail. All types of businesses fail home based and otherwise so the risk is always there. However, the risk of failing in a home based business isn't as high as you might think. Yes, there is a chance that you won't meet all of your goals. However, if you are willing to make a plan for success and stick with it your chances of failure are pretty low.

The only people who really end up failing in a home based business are the people who aren't willing to give it their best effort. I see a lot of people who are willing to get started in a business but aren't willing to actually work for their success. They just assume that if they are a member of a company the business will just build it's self. That is of course not true.

Also, some people DO work but they just aren't consistent enough or they give up too early in the process.  You can't build a successful business in just a few months it's going to take time but if you are willing to really work hard for it and invest the time and energy that you would invest in any other type of business you will have success and lots of it.

Don't be so scared of failure that you miss out on a great opportunity to make money and live an incredible life. Get more information about working from home and find a business that is right for you.

Are You Really Doing What You Need To Do To Succeed In Your Home Business?

I think a fair amount of being successful working from home is learning to be honest with yourself. As someone who has been around home based business owners for many years I can honestly say that a lot of them are really just kidding themselves. it's not enough to be a part of a great company and have the drive to succeed.

You have to put a lot of action behind your intentions of the money is just never going to come. I have seen too many bright, driven, well educated people fail in this type of business because they simply don't do the work that it takes to really succeed.

While it is true that you don't have to work a home based business like a full time job it's not true that you only need to work a few hours a month. It's going to take several hours a week of hard work every single week if you want your business to grow. And I don't mean spending time on a conference call or at a meeting but several hours actually WORKING your business... talking to people, giving presentations, marketing yourself aggressively online real hard work.

I say all of this because if you are reading this article and you're thinking about joining a home based business you deserve to know the truth. Too many people are willing to lie to you to get you to join their business and that's just not fair. Any business takes hard work and effort. You have to be intentional. You have to set some time aside during the week and really work the business or it just won't work for you.

However, the good news is that when you do that you will find that working for yourself is seriously amazing. You will also find that the harder you work now the easier it will be. A home based business tends to snowball so the more work you do in the beginning the easier it gets and the more fun it becomes. You will also find that being your own boss is a million times better than working for someone else.

So don't let the hard work fool you because once you start to see success in your home based business you'll never want to go back! Just don't be fooled by the people who tell you that you won't have to work for it because you most certainly will!
