Writing your own eBook

Hi All :-)

I've been busily scouting the world wide web recently searching for ways to help you make money working for yourself from home writing.

The times we are living in are tough for everybody, whether you've been let go from your job due to the economic downturn, or just trying to make some extra money in your spare time.
It has become apparent to me, in my quest to spread some information on how to help yourself, that the biggest and most profitable market presently is in eBook sales.

If you're in doubt as to the profit potential of eBooks, just type in ''eBook sales'' into Google.
Sources have said sales are expected to reach $9.7 billion worldwide by 2016.
If that doesn't spark your interest then you must be asleep....;-D

So why write your own eBook?

An excellent way to start a home business is write on topics you may have some expertise in and can share
it with others who are seeking this information in an easily accessible format.

There are millions of people searching online everyday looking for information on every conceivable topic.
Someone somewhere will pay you for your expertise on a chosen subject.
You can write and publish eBooks without having a blog or website, and you can create a good income with little financial outlay.

Let's look at the pros of writing your own eBook:

More and more people are accessing the Internet daily, so exposure to your work is increasing.

It is easy to produce your own, no publisher or agent required.

They are easily distributed online, and if you ever need to update the content, all you need to do is update
your original edition and republish it yourself.

It is easily accessible to the buyer, all they have to do is download it from the website where you have chosen to sell it from.

All that's required is a computer, an Internet connection, and YOUR IDEA!

So begin now by jotting down some ideas , find the one that interests you most, the one you perhaps know
quite a bit about already.

Next post I'll be back with tips on how to Write your own eBook.


Make 2013 your year for working from home writing !

Getting more visitors to your blog or site

Hi All,

Today my post is all about increasing your visitors to your blog or website. As traffic is the lifeblood of any website or blog, I've done another post about this  here

 This blog about working from home, being your own boss, and living the dream !


Chatting your Way to Increased Website Traffic

Millions of people are drawn to the websites every day just to chat.  Chatting is one of the most popular activities done by those using the web.  Many people admit that once they begin chatting, they become almost addicted to it.  The average online “chatter” will log on at least once a day for a chat.  Although there is no definite reason why people love this form of communication, there is something to be learned by their behavior.  When it comes to your website traffic, you may be able to utilize this chat “addiction” to increase website traffic.  There are two main ways you can use chatting to help your site.  One involves less startup time, but more maintenance time by you.  The other involves a longer startup time, but less maintenance.  Consider these ideas and begin using chatting to help your website increase traffic immediately.

If you are interested in using the chat audience, then you can certainly log in a few hours a day delivering advertisement to them.  This basically means that you can go into chat rooms with the purpose of posting your website link into the chat.  You can do this randomly, hitting a room, posting the link without prompt from other chatters, and leaving to another room.

Remember to contribute something to your audience, this is the best way to reach the largest number of chatters. The best way to do this is to join rooms that relate in some way to your website and its content.   However, by doing this, you will likely annoy some chatters, which is not good for your website.  You can decide whether the risk is worth it or not.

You can also be more personal about your advertisements.  This will call for going to rooms where you think the most selective targeted audience may be located.  For instance, if your website is about music, then you may want to visit chat rooms with music themes.  Once you engage in conversation a bit, you can freely and casually bring your website link into conversation.  You may gain more respect with this approach but you will likely not have as large of an audience as with the random posts.  If you are an avid chatter, then also consider adding your website link to your chatting profile.  As you chat, others in the room will be looking at your profile, without you even knowing they are doing so.  This is a subtle, but effective way to use chatting to help increase your website’s traffic.  Those that view your profile will likely want to check out your site and may even tell others about it as well.

Another way to use chatting to increase website traffic is by adding a chat element to your website.  This will likely take quite a while to set up.  Adding chat to your room is not the simplest thing to do.  It can however be a great way to draw people into your website.  This is especially true if your website is about a specific hobby, passion, or job.  If you have a retail site, it is unlikely that chat would be appropriate.  However, if your site is about stock tips, then a chat room would enable traders to discuss tips and information with each other, which would likely keep them and their friends coming back frequently.  One thing to remember however is that you should always monitor your website’s chat area every once in a while.  It would be unfortunate to have chatters using your room inappropriately or abuse certain policies you have placed upon chatters.  This would only make your website look unprofessional.

Using chatting to help increase website traffic is a free way to advertise.  If you do chat often, you have likely seen other chatters using this delivery as well.  Take note on which methods of chat delivery is most attractive to you when you see others doing the same thing.  This will allow you to have a view on both sides of the issue and likely help you to create a plan that is more effective.

  The more time and effort you put into this task, the faster you will see results, so go ahead and
  TAKE ACTION today!

Working for yourself from home

Hi there,

Imagine this: working for yourself from home -
A day when you decide what time to get up
A day when you can choose whether to linger over your morning coffee for as long as you like
A day that is planned to suit you, no more rush hour commutes to a job you hate ..

All this is possible!There are many companies online offering opportunities that will enable you to become your own boss, and say goodbye to the stress of working for somebody else  If you're prepared to put some time in after work in the evenings, or at the weekends, it is possible to build a very nice second income stream, eventually allowing you to become secure enough to say goodbye to that job forever!
But how to know which one to invest in?


If you've become unemployed recently, made redundant, or been forced to take early retirement, there are still options open to you. All you need is an internet connection, a pc or laptop, and a good grasp of basic English grammar.
It was a dream of mine for at least ten years to become my own boss and ideally work from home, cutting out expensive overheads and that stress in the mornings of what to wear, putting on make up, doing my hair, grabbing my hand bag , and that last minute desperate search for the car keys.
 After investing money in products which promised the earth but were practically fruitless in terms of income, I found one which actually delivered. Working for myself from home has become a reality and has enabled me to walk from a job that was killing me slowly every day , a dead-end position in a company that was beginning to flounder, a common scene for many in our current economic climate.

Contrary to what some online gurus will tell you, there is no magic wand, you need to be prepared to put in the time and effort required in the beginning. I have been working writing as a freelance from home now for over four years, and in the beginning it was quite scary as I had very little experience with working online.
I didn't want to leave a paying job (are you crazy??!!) and so decided to devote an hour or two each evening to build up another income for myself. I did this as a freelance writer. Writing blog posts, articles, copywriting, and lots more smaller stuff that really didn't require huge talent in the area of writing.
I spent weekends polishing my skills, taking online courses in grammar, just to expand my knowledgebase.

Three weeks ago, I am delighted to say, I handed in my resignation!
In my next post I'm gonna describe my average day, the day I dreamed about for many years, the day where I'm my own boss :-)

So here's to making your dream a reality,
