The Isolation Monster and How to Slay It

Like most people, when you think about what it would be like to work from home, you probably think of the obvious benefits such as working your own hours, not having to face a stressful, tedious commute every day, actually seeing what your garden looks like in daylight hours, not having to answer to a boss, being home when your children are, working in a comfortable environment and so on. These are, of course, some of only many wonderful benefits of working from home.

Internet Privacy: P3P

If you downloaded Internet Explorer 6 recently (or it came pre-installed on your machine) you may have noticed something a little different. Take a under the “Internet Options” selection of the “Tools” menu. You will see a new tab titled “Privacy”. Click on the tab and you will be able to specify settings which control the way cookies are handled.

Get Your Fundraisers Going NOW! Start Earning Immediately!

Fundraisers – it’s the perfect time to figure out which items or services you will be promoting. Very few are running fundraisers in the summer – it’s a great time to get started before the competition hits! At least you should figure out your strategy now, even if you are waiting for the end of summer to get started. You might find you are better off to try a new product, instead of selling the very same ones you always sell, and everyone else sells. Don’t dilute your potential – try something different that no one else if selling.

Work With What You Have

Have you ever taken an acting class and been challenged to imagine as many uses as possible for some simple household object? It is a wonderful exercise in creativity. Try it. Go to the kitchen, find a tool you use every day and imagine all possible uses for it. Well, that seems to me to be the gist of this quote. It is creative to find new ways of doing things using the resources we have at hand.

Getting the Most from Overture.com

Allan Gardyne says, “I recommending paying the minimum account fee as an experiment and buying as many search phrases as you can possibly come up with to increase your chances of being seen. That’s a very cheap way of finding out what works.” Allan and Nathan Power run a website called PayPerClickSearchEngines.com that offers excellent information about the different pay-per-click engines. The minimum order is $25. This means that you must deposit at least $25 in order to bid on a keyword. The initial $25 is non-refundable, but any amount over that is refundable. You can purchase as many keywords as you choose, but you can only link to one page per search term. Your keywords must be relevant to your site, and your title and description must also relate to the search term. Adult website owners must purchase keywords that are clearly adult-related. So, an adult site couldn’t purchase keywords such as “girl,” “doll,” “couple,” etc. Sites that depict acts of violence or illegal activities won’t be accepted into Overture. Orders are normally processed and implemented within 3 to 5 days. This lead time is needed in order for the editors to check the relevancy of your search terms. Did you know that you can bid on a directory term? You simply submit your bid in the same manner as you would any search term.

Put It In Writing!

Ever been asked to ‘Put it in Writing.’? Sure, you have. Did you immediately go to your desk and effortlessly record your thoughts and suggestions? Or, perhaps, you struggled and anguished? For most folks, producing useful, credible and appropriate written communication requires careful thought. Those folks are wise. Written communication is an excellent opportunity to showcase your communication skills. Writing something down not only clarifies an issue, it tends to gives the idea longevity, and, sometimes, a life of its own. Write carefully!
