what I love about working from home, my hopes for the future
and more.

Sure, I have too.

Does that mean the contractor didn’t know what she was doing?

Well, in some cases yes…but often it goes deeper than that and it always comes back to communication.

I’ve been meaning to write on this topic for quite some time and it’s something I talk about at Outsourcing Sweetie, but recently this issue came up in some online coaching I was doing with a client. I thought it was a great example of the need for communication, so I’ll share it here. She needed a website header created and she requested one. She said it was for XX website and gave a simple instruction on what look she was going for.

The graphic artist didn’t ask any further questions and set to work. Obviously, at that point, the artist could have inquired further, but sometimes when working with graphics it’s just easier to give a client something to look at, so you can go from there.

Well, the first graphic produced was not to her liking. She simply said it was pretty, but quite plain. She asked if the artist was planning on adding something and that she was looking for a more professional look.

Again, not much detail. Instead, she might have looked at and gave instructions on things like:

• Color: Did she like the colors? Did she want one or all of the colors changed? To what?
• Text: Did she want additional text? In the original instruction, she didn’t even say what text she wanted, so the artist simply put the website name on the header.
• Font: Did she like the font? What about the size? What about the positioning on the graphic?
• Images: Did she like the images used in the header? Was there something in particular she’d like to see?

The more you can guide your contractor to what you want, the better. They aren’t mind readers and they need to know your vision. Tell ‘em exactly what that is.

There are thousands of internet businesses and ways to make money online, but how to start a blogging business might be a first for you. This is traditionally a means of expressing oneself through posts that are personal and interesting. However with the sharing and communities that have been building up all over the World Wide Web, people have a strong interest in what other people say, especially if they are considered to be an expert on a particular subject. If you have expert knowledge about something, then you can actually make money from your blog. Learning how to do this is easy when you have a brilliant blogging guide like the Blogger Paycheck.

This eBook was just released by blogger John Yeo and offers you all the tips and blogging advice that you will ever need. With this trusted source in your possession, you can not only make your blog up very quickly and easily, but you can also start making money from it through various means which are all explained in detail in the eBook. Instead of just simplified facts and a do it yourself to make it work attitude, this eBook actually spells out the entire process for you and lists all the relevant websites you will need to register with and use to make your blogging business a success.

The success you get will not be from getting large amounts of traffic to your blog using the best methods which are set out for you in the eBook, but you will also start making money thanks to willing advertisers that are impressed with the amount of people you have visiting your blog. Aside from advertisers there are some other ways to make you blog profitable and all this from writing about something you are passionate about - it’s awesome!

You can make your blog about anything and with John Yeo it started out as a wedding blog as a memory gift to his wife. Later on as he started adding more and more tips to the site and giving relationship advice to newlyweds, did the money start rolling in. He had captured a market and you can do this with almost anything you love, provided that you see if there is a demand for it. You can make your blog about music, art, real estate, DIY or even about yourself if you have a strong personality and lots to say.

How to start a blogging business is not really a question of how as it is a question of who. Who will you write it for, who will you target in advertisers and who will visit it. These are just some of the things you can think about before you get started, but just make sure you have the Bloggers Paycheck by your side every step of the way, as it will guide you with easy to follow instructions and screen shots so that you don’t make a mistake and that everything is smooth and quick. With this eBook, you will not take a few years to start your blogging business, but just a few months.

Description:

The Startup Rebel Adsense Blueprint is a guide to creating a high-traffic website that can earn income through Adsense and other methods. The guide focuses on helping those without any marketing or online expertise put together a large authority website and maintain it as a valuable asset for their business.

It includes:

• A case study of a company that created a website that was later purchased for $410 million. Jarod analyzes how the company was able to do it by looking at the brand they created, the content they published, the website’s traffic, revenue and their source of labor.

• “The Godfather Strategy” explains a unique and specific plan for building a strong authoritative website without having to write articles, learn search engine optimization, etc. It shows how to keep your focus on strategic planning and development, while others tend to other daily detail.

• 7 important components, broken down into action steps for implementing the “Godfather Strategy” starting from developing your idea, your brand, assembling your team and other key ingredients.

Thoughts:

This guide definitely provides some food for thought in building a large and profitable authority site without huge out-of-pocket expense and without working oneself to the bone. People who use this method should be prepared for some hard work in establishing relationships and building an effective team, but the ideas in this guide are solid.

Also useful are the tips for avoiding pitfalls of partnerships and ensuring equitable revenue shares. This is what makes it possible to limit your startup costs and still make it all worthwhile for your team.

Another thing Jarod talks about is the all-important exit strategy and why you need to have one from the very beginning to help ensure your website is a valuable asset. This is something many business / website owners don’t think about. Having this plan from the outset makes it is easier to manage and eventually sell your virtual property.
