As a legitimate home based business opportunities owner it will be completely up to you to motivate yourself to action. Most of us have many things in our lives that we should do and many things that we like to do that make it easy to put off your home based business work until a later date. A home based business like any other business needs to be structured and part of that structure is going to work at set times. In order to work our home based business effectively we must learn to motivate ourselves. Below are 5 tips to help you in self motivation.
5 Tips To becoming self motivated.
Number One Is To Get Other People Involved
This first tip is one of the hardest for many people because it involves your pride. You are putting yourself on the line and doing anything other than what you promised can mean failure to yourself and to your friends. This tip is to involve others in your project. Even those of us who live very Hermit like lives know people we can involve. They can be personal friends, people in our neighborhoods, family and those we have occasional casual conversations with. By telling these people what you are doing and by setting a date for completion you are placing expectations in the minds of your friends and family.
When you do that you are actually doubling your motivational factors. The first thing you have done is to tell them of your project and set an expectation for a great finished product. You have put yourself on the line and must now do the very best you possibly can. No one wants to show their friends something they have done that wasn't done to the best of their ability. You will be motivated to do the best you possibly can. The other thing you have done is set an expected due date. This will motivate you to finish on or before the specified time When you tell the people you know and hold closest that you have a project your are building up your own personal motivation. This can be the strongest motivational factor that you have.
The Second Tip Involves Setting A Due Date
Businesses have to have set goals in order to grow at acceptable rates and to produce the income they need to survive. Owning a legitimate home based business opportunities business is no different. You must have an understanding of what a certain task will do for you and how it will either maintain or increase your income levels.
You must have a clear knowledge of the repercussions of not completing a task. Most of us do not like the idea that we may be loosing money if something we must do is not completed. By knowing these goals and outcomes and then setting a time frame for completion of our products we are motivating ourselves to complete the needed work on time. Money and the loss of it is a strong motivational factor. Setting time frames that must be met is also a strong motivational factor.
Step Three Is To Treat Yourself
Using treats as a reward is something that many of us do or have done many times in our lives. When raising our children we know that rewarding them with a treat when they have finished their chores often times not only motivates them to finish it but also motivates them to finish quicker. The reward can be any number of things. For children it can be a trip to the park or playground, maybe a Pizza for dinner or a special candy treat. The same things can be applied to how we treat ourselves.
Make your treat something that is special and something your strongly desire. Then do not give it to yourself until the task is completed. This might require a little self discipline especially if you are accustomed to treating yourself when ever you please. What it will do for you is the same thing it did for our children. It will cause you to complete your task and often times sooner than the time you had set. It will give you that little bit of motivation that is often needed in building your home based business.
The Fourth Tip Is Creating A Positive Mindset
It is far to easy for the self employed legitimate home based business opportunities owner to think about the negative things in their lives. We are often alone with our thoughts and can easily let them slip off into the negative. That is something you must change right away and it's not that hard to do. If you have animals think of the crazy things they do. Dwell on the last trip you took with your family or possibly a friend who always makes you laugh. Put some fun music on for you to listen to. You can even start to think about the money your business will bring in as it grows and as you complete each project.
Dwelling on negatives will bring you down and cause you to stop working on your projects so it must be turned around quickly. Happily it is not hard to do and once you start thinking about all the positive things in your life those thoughts will quickly overcome the negatives and will last the whole day through. You can't be motivated dwelling on negatives but by dwelling on positives your motivation level will grow.
The Fifth Tip, Give Yourself A Break
It will be difficult to apply the other 4 motivational techniques if you are working yourself to death. Most jobs give their employees breaks during the day, set days off, and vacation time. As a home based business owner you must do the same thing for yourself. You need time away from your business to regenerate your spirits and your energy level so you can approach your business with a renewed spirit and a readiness to do the best you possibly can.
The old saying "all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy" is very true for the self employed. Overworking your self will dull your senses, slow your thoughts and minimize your production. It is a motivation killer. By giving yourself a break and taking time off you are doing the exact opposite. You are reviving your senses, awakening your thoughts and enhancing your motivation levels. This is vital for the legitimate home based business opportunities owner.

How To Grow Your Home Based Business With Online Marketing
Promoting your home based business online is the number one way to build your business quickly. That is if you do it productively using the correct tools. Many online advertisements may appear to be terrific when in reality they are not the most productive. You want your efforts to always do the most good with the least amount of effort.
Using Free FFA pages
Free FFA sites also known as Free For All sites usually have members that range from hundreds of thousands into the millions. The thought of advertising to millions of people using a simple add form can be very tempting especially because it is free.
Adding your site to their add pages is very simple. You will have a 5 box submission form that ask for you Name, Email (not published in advertisement), Headline with limited number of words. Text box with limited number of words and a box for the URL you are promoting. Never use your main email client when submitting to the sites to avoid cluttering your normal email usage. Once you submit
When I first started advertising online I used FFA sites very often. I was excited over sending my advertisement to 10 million people or more. After a short time I realized it wasn't benefitting me at all. When I received hundreds of emails through my alternate email server I never read them. I deleted them as quickly as possible. I realized the other members were simply doing the same thing and the effort was nearly pointless.
Using Traffic Exchange Sites
Traffic Exchanges offer the member a way to advertise for free to hundreds of people. They can be enjoyable to use because of the way they are setup. You must surf for advertising credits and each site is on a timer. You can't go to the next site until the time is up or risk not gaining any credits. Many advertisements I've seen are nearly pointless because the advertiser has sent the visitors to a long sales page or a web site filled with to much information. Because the visitor is doing exactly what you are doing, surfing for credits they will not be on your page very long. They key to using these sites is first to have an attention grabbing headline and then the use of a Lead capture Page. The page has to have one focus, to gain the persons email address and name. Sell them on your idea as briefly as possible so that you can use your email program to actually sell the product. These pages are fun too use but there are more productive ways to spend your time.
Using Articles For Site Promotion
Article marketing is arguably the number one way to promote your home based business. Best of all it is very cost affective. Most articles can be written and submitted in a couple hours. Because one article written making use of keywords can be published for many years it makes it the purest form of viral marketing there is. Despite the misconception that you must have a lot of writing skills to affectively write an article the fact is you don't. You do need to have factual information concerning the articles subject so that you can build your reputation on the subject over time but no great skills are required. Most of us can carry on a conversation about subjects of interest and we all write emails to our friends and often personal letters to those we know. If you can do that you can write an article.
After you have written you submit your article to Article directories. There are some free tools available that can be found by doing a web search that make it easier to submit to multiple sites. Your submission is not the end of it. The Article directories will take your article and make it available to their members to publish on their sites. As time goes by your article can be found on hundreds of sites because directories will pass it on to other directories that in turn pass it on to their members. This creates valuable backlinks pointing to your web site that are used by search engines in evaluating your sites importance. The more back links the more importance and the greater your page rank. In building a home based business online this is the single most important factor you must have. Site rank means visitors and visitors mean sales.

Ewen Chia and his new "Super Affiliates" program first month Revue.
On Dec. 1st I signed up for Ewen Chia's new "Super Affiliates" program and posted it here and on my site "It Can Happen 4U2". Well the first month is almost over and admittedly I have learned a lot from his program but not as much as expected in some areas and more than expected in others.
Some of his ideas I have used on my front page" to attract new visitors to my newsletter. You can see the "Limited Time Offer" and the sign up form. This template and the one that comes with the "Business In A Box" Ewen Chia gives as a bonus are great for capturing leads. I've used this form plus the 4 other pages that are part of the template on PPC sites with great success. Setting up the lead capture page and the "Thank You" page is quick and easy. Plus you get instructions how to set up clickable links on each page to go to 3 more pages of required text. the pages turn out very professional.
The "Business In A Box" really can't be a stand alone business. What it does is it pre-sells what ever your main business is whether it's an online affiliate network business opportunity or some other type of online business. The first page template is much like what I am using on my site and is intended to buld your email marketing list. The "List" is a tool you must have to to be successful. The "Thank You" page is also similar as are the other pages. The difference is it sends your visitors to another page that is a wrather long sales page for your type of business model. It is what a "Sales Page" should be. It first details the business then uses proof of success to affirm the business value and then sells your business concept while offering links to your personal business "Sales page". It does this with a little work on your part. You add certain things to it such as links to your opportunity so it is a personalized page designed to promote your online affiliate network business opportunity.
There are quite a few more items you get with the program for month one. Tons of training videos and real life videos showing new business start-up examples of how to apply his system from new site to success in a short time. While the first months system was quite intense and chocked full of information even more was aded throughout the month. This added even more value to the program.
I would recomend Ewen Chia's "Super Affiliates" program with a major emphasis that it will benefit new online marketers more than anyone. If you are a seasoned Online business builder you should already know the information that is taught. It is pretty basic information. The real value would be for those who are new at online business building and need to jump start their business. It will teach them how and when to advertise plus it gives them the needed tools to make it simple. It is just what a new person needs.
For ease of use the program gets 5-Stars, it couldn't be any simpler. Every thing is explained cleary and backed up with Video demonstrations. i said i recommend it mainly for newbies and that is true but I would also recommend it for any one who's been trying to build an online affiliate network business opportunity for any length of time and hasn't experienced much success.
If some of the terms I used such as "Lead capture Form", Sales Page, Thank You page etc. are unfamiliar to you Ewen Chia's Super Affiliates is right for you. :)
That's it for now. I will add an update next month after I've looked over what is offered.
I hope to post more home business opportunity reviews in the near future.
