As if being a mom isn't hard enough, many women have also taken on the role of entrepreneur. This is where the phrase, “mompreneur" comes from. 
It's a tough but generally rewarding lifestyle choice. Moms can be there for their children and family when they need them. They can create an online business and generate an income for the family.


However, sometimes being a mompreneur can seem as if you're standing on the edge of a cliff. A crisis can hit and depending on your business model, everything can go wrong at once.  


For example, a mompreneur who suddenly finds that a family member is having a health crisis may need to drop everything to care for that loved one. The business goes on the back burner. There is no time for online work and when the health crisis is over there's little or no business to come back to. 


That's an extreme example but it can happen as I found out when my mother-in-law became ill and I was offline for almost a year and a half. 


Here are 3 steps that I should have taken to help prepare for any potential crisis.


#1 Have a Backup Person to Help with your Online Business


You don't have to have a partner or divulge everything about your business to another person. However, it is helpful if you have a virtual assistant, friend or family member that can help you. That way, if a crisis occurs, you can quickly contact them and they can handle any communications and manage things while you're away.


#2 Network and Build a Community


Another way to help prepare for a potential crisis is to make sure you have connections in your industry.


If you're a blogger or information marketer, then make connections with other bloggers and writers in your industry. If you're going to be unavailable for an extended period of time, you can hire or partner with a writer so the content continues to flow on your site. 


For example, if you're a professional coach and are unable to meet your coaching obligations for a period of time, you might be able to offer your clients a substitute coach while you're away. They don't miss out on the coaching experience they've paid for and you don't lose clients. 


#3  Your Mindset Is Everything 


Having a positive mindset is what will help you not only come through a crisis personally but also professionally. Being able to stay positive and focused on your priorities helps you avoid feeling overwhelmed and out of control. 


Before a crisis happens, make sure to create strong connections with your niche community. Then you'll be able to quickly make a plan, know what you can handle and what you cannot, and know who to ask for help.  

An online presence is important these days for whatever enterprise you engage in. To connect with a wide variety of people there is no bigger forum than the Internet. If you are looking for a way to show off your expertise and also make a little money while doing it, consider starting a blog.

What is a Blog?

A blog is actually an online journal of sorts. With a blog you can upload daily posts about anything that you want. Some people create personal blogs as a way to keep in touch with family members. Pictures, videos and other information are uploaded so your loved ones are current with what is going on with you.

A common mistake made by new affiliate marketers is choosing a product without determining if there is a hungry market. Why is this bad? Because the product might not cater to enough demand to be profitable. Without a demand, no one will buy the product, and that would not be profitable for their business.

So the first lesson in any internet marketing course should be about finding profitable markets.

It’s actually quite easy to do. All you need is an idea. Yes, like one of those eureka moments. This idea can come to you at any time…while watching a movie, reading the morning papers, or while viewing the billboards on the side of the road. This idea may also be inspired by your current or previous profession, or a passion you have had about something your whole life.

You should make it a habit to carry a small notebook with you, so that whenever any of these ideas pop up, you can write them down.

So how will you know if the idea that enters your mind is the right one to build a business for?

This is not to difficult to find out. An idea will bring various thoughts of other possibilities you can do with the them. An idea about dog grooming can make you think of a dog grooming service, for example. Or an idea about pest control can make you think of a do-it-yourself pest control eBook.

Once you have an idea, it’s time to determine if it will be profitable.

For this, you will need a tool like one of these:

http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/

www.nichebot.com

Type in the idea you have in mind, and press the submit button. This will supply you with a list of keywords and key phrases that are related to the subject you have entered. Each keyword or key phrase will show you the number of searches that they have gathered from internet users. The number of searches made for a particular keyword or key phrase is a good indication of the demand for the same.

Naturally, you would want a keyword or key phrase that has gathered many searches, right?

Maybe, but demand is just half the battle. You will also need to determine how much competition you will have for that particular market. To do this, you will have to run a search on Google or whichever search engine you perfer using the particular keyword or key phrase enclosed in quotes marks - "keyword" - you have selected. Look at the number of web pages pertaining to your keywork or phrase. If this number is less than the number of searches made for the same, then you have a profitable idea indeed!

Here is an example:

Your idea is about dog grooming. So you use the tools mentioned above, and type in the phrase “dog grooming.” You’d immediately get some keywords or key phrases like “shih tzu dog grooming” or “dog grooming cases.” The searches for these terms are greater in number than the web pages catering to them. As such, you could consider them as profitable markets. These markets are what many people call niches. Finding a niche is the first integral step in making money online.

Once you have decided on a niche, focus on it. If you’re not familiar with the subject, do some research. Build a website that would provide accurate and educational information about the topic. Employ marketing strategies to give it the exposure it deserves.

It all starts with finding a niche. The sooner you discover one, the sooner you can start making money online with affiliate marketing.

You Can Be The One To Snatch It At 2.5 Cents Per Site! Last time I checked the price was still under $2.00.

Do you think that some marketing product offers online are a bit too expensive? If they were cheaper, would you grab them to improve or skyrocket your online biz?

Today I have a nice surprize in store for you. If you thought starting an online biz was expensive, you are wrong! It can be VERY cheap...and I'm talking about dimes, NOT dollars.

To Your Success!

Because more and more people are turning to the web to find the information and products they need, opportunities for niche marketing have never been better.

The key to successful niche marketing, niche blogging and affiliate revenue is to find a niche and fill it. Products can be hand-picked to perfectly fit the content of your site, blog or niche. There is an unlimited number of niches you can profit from. How much you make is entirely up to you, all it takes is time and research.

What niche market is for you? Believe it or not, ideas are everywhere.

You never know when a niche opportunity might present itself. Try carrying a small notebook with you and every time you think of something that would make a good niche, write it down. Once you have your list, start researching them on Google or the search engine of your choice.

You can discover lots of niche finding tips, tools and ideas at these sites:

Andy Beard – Niche Marketing
Niche Marketing Explained
Niche Market Know-How

Or you can do a search for "niche marketing" and find the ones that are the most helpful. Bookmark them to refer back to whenever you need new tips, ideas or tools.

Marketing to a niche means you have to be knowledgeable in that niche. If you don't have the knowledge yet, then choose a niche product that you would love to promote, and then spend the necessary time to research it and learn as much as you can, and you will eventually become an expert in your niche field. Marketing to a niche you're interested in will also make you a more effective marketer and will in turn increase sales.

Niche marketing is no different than any other online marketing, posting relevant content is the number one way to get the right type of traffic to your niche site. Writing keyword rich articles or reports and posting them to high traffic web sites is another way to make sure that you get exposure within your niche market. In no time, you will see the results of more sales and traffic.

If you spend the time to do your research and marketing…then Niche Marketing can become a very profitable work at home business.

More people are now looking for ways to make money online with a home based business. For those starting out, it can be very challenging to actually decide the type of home based business to start.

The main objective is to identify a profitable niche for the home based business. For your online home based business to succeed, you will need to have some good market for it, so it is important that you target a niche for which there is a huge demand which also has potential to grow in the future.

Besides the fact mentioned above, there are also several other factors that are important during your decision making process. It is a good idea to start your online home based business in a niche or topic that is of interest to you. Your home based business is not supposed to be another 'job' - which means you must enjoy it and you must want to be doing it in the long term. So, defining your interests and matching them to your business is recommended.

So what are the main niche ideas which you can focus on with your home based business?

· Health. Many people want to be in good health, and in recent years, this has been a rapidly growing niche. Your online home based business can offer dieting products and plans, nutrition supplements, disease prevention, or vitamins, among others possible products. You just have to do your research and find the popular products and diet plans which you can promote. You will also need to make sure that the commission structures for the products you choose to sell are appealing to you.

· Personal development. More people are searching for ways to develop their lives - financially, personally or in their businesses. Your home based business could focus on niches about personal development, achieving their goals, and helping people achieve their maximum potential.

· Wealth and home businesses. By setting up your own home business, you can help others looking for options for having a home based business. You could be an affiliate with various programs for earning money at home. The options are plenty - you just have to choose which business opportunities you would like to promote.

· Beauty. This is a very popular niche. More people are focused on being beautiful and keeping young and healthy. For your home based business, you could target product niches about the various beauty products that are available on the market. All you need to do is to do your research on the products you want to promote and also see if you like the commissions which they pay.

· Sports / travel/holidays. These days people want to give themselves more time to recreate and have a good relaxing time, away from their busy daily schedules. As a result, there are many companies that offer various 'packages' for vacations. Your online home business could be based on these niches.

· Gaining an education or skill - A lot of people now want to learn a new talent or skill. You could create your home based business by focusing niches like educational / training classes, home training, personal training, how-to publications or how-to videos, among others.

These are the key common niches which you can target with your online home based business.

Of course, if none of these appeals to you, you can also set up your own business where you can offer some services. For example, if you are good at writing, you can set up a business where you market your writing services. This may also be related to what you are training on or what your current job is involved in. For example, if you are a nurse, you can set up a website offering some health tips and products. You can also set up various businesses that focus on more than one of the above stated niches. I hope that this will help you decide on the type of a home based business you would like to start. To your success!

I just got this today and I will be using it to try and increase my earnings.
I thought others might be interested in it too:

If you have been online long enough, you may have come across
websites offering to explain to you ways to make money from the
comfort of your own home office - 100% online. If you have been
doing some research into this, you may have found that all this...
is for real. Yes, you can make a part-time or even a full time living online.

There are dozens of different ways you can generate decent income online.
But you will very soon understand that in order to use them you need:
- to be a professional copywriter or
- professional software coder
- professional webdesigner or
- at least be able to buy ready made solutions or hire the folks with above
skills to do it for you and in this case you are facing $1000's bills.

But the good news is: you can actually invest only your time
and start finally seeing results online. You have one asset which is
absolutely the same that any online marketing guru has, any online
millionaire has. This is 24 hours in your day. And this can help you
solve ANY problems, break any barriers. And you don't even
need to invest a lot of your time.

You only need to be able to type. Time you already have.
And no, this is NOT a "'paid to type ads' sort of program.
(never fall into those scams!)

Bottom Line: if you want to get into Online Marketing, but can't
build sites, write converting salesletters, code scripts or software
and don't have $ thousands to invest, this may be ONE method
to get you started.

And here is the best part:

This is another one of George Pluss's famous Dime Sales.

When you are considering starting an online company, you want to make sure you find the right product.

What do you want to sell.

What is your passion.

What subject or topic do you have a lot of knowledge about.

Let me start by telling you that selling an information product online is easier than selling a service. But, selling a service online makes more money with monthly memberships.

Before you spend all your time working on a website and writing up eBooks, you want to be sure that your customers are going to be interested in what you are selling. Do your market research. Start by seeing how many competitors you have -this is a good sign. Read through newsgroups, discussion boards, and chat rooms and learn about your target market customer base. If you already have an email list, send them a survey to see what they are most interested in.

Most internet marketers preach that there are three reasons why a customer will want to buy your product.

1. Your product has solved a problem for your customer.

2. Your product has made life easier or more comfortable for your customer.

3. You are very passionate about your product and it shows in everything you do.

When researching your niche, you may want to use www.Amazon.com and find the current top sellers. Find out what people are reading about. You will want to research keywords with keyword tools such as http://www.wordtracker.com/. You need to discover which keywords are being searched for frequently.

Doing a little poking around your competitors sites isn’t a bad idea. This is one way to come up with ideas on what would make your company different or better. Take a look at their traffic rankings and their related links. By analyzing this information, you can see how many visitors they have each day and how profitable their company is.

Once you find your passion, ask yourself does this serve my customers.

You want to provide an excellent service to each and every person that spends their money with you. This cuts down on complaints, bad reputations, and, worse of all, chargeback’s.
