If you no longer wish to receive this newsletter, or any other email from me, you can find simple instructions at the end of this newsletter. ------------------------------------------------------ **CONTENTS:** Feature Article: Identifying Your Niche ------------------------------------------------------ Hi folks, December is here and what a mess! Rain and more rain...at least we don't have to shovel it :-) Well, most of our off-line business is done for this year (craft shows) and I can get back to the on-line stuff (the stuff I really enjoy doing!). I've finally caught up on all of my emails, sorry for the delays. Don't you just love getting those emails that say "you've just made a sale"? I know I do, that's why I love working at home on the internet. To follow up on last month's article about cyber crooks, I want you to know that I have been contacted by more of those scams. Here are the ones that have sent me emails so far: Sun Trust, Washington Mutual, Citi Bank and PayPal. Never, ever (and that's a long time) reply to these types of emails asking for your credit card, bank account, passwords or any other personal information. Remember, your bank will never ask you to give them that information. Anyway, have a good month and I wish you all the very best for the upcoming holiday season. Don't forget to download your free ebooks at: Remember, I'm always just a click away if you have any questions about your own home based business, or any comments or questions for me.

Rao The Internet has become a valuable source of information and purchasing tool for today’s consumer. With the click of a mouse you can find almost anything from products to services on the web, and you can shop for the best prices and values all hours of the day from the convenience of your own home. For some of these same reasons, mail order businesses are also on the rise with consumers finding better values from companies that don’t have the overhead associated with a storefront. With everything at the consumers’ fingertips, the home business owner can also benefit from today’s market culture. Just as consumers can shop from their living rooms and kitchens, business owners can conduct business in the convenience of their own homes. If you are looking to set your own hours, have less commuting time, and enjoy the general freedoms of working for yourself, starting a home business may be right for you. One important business plan to attend to when you first start developing a home business is to invest time in finding your niche. So what does this mean, finding your niche? Identifying a niche is about finding a distinct segment of consumer interest, then capitalizing on it. It means finding that particular spot in the business world where you can stand out amongst others. For example there may be hundreds of booksellers out there, but how many specialize in books on a particular interest of yours? If your home business focuses on selling books, you may be competing with the hundreds of other sellers. But if your home business focuses on selling books about outdoor sports, you may find yourself in direct competition with fewer businesses. Now that you know what a niche is, how do you go about identifying yours? You can start by asking yourself a few important questions: What am I good at? Take an inventory of your skills. Are you a good mechanic? Are you a wiz with home decorating? Do your friends all come to you when they have computer problems to fix? Do you know almost everything there is to know about a particular topic? Find the things you already have some skill in, and start a list. You may be surprised where your talents lie. What do I enjoy doing? What things do you love to do so much that you would probably do them whether there was a profit involved or not? The best place to start with this question is to look at your hobbies. These are often the things you pay a fairly significant amount of money to be involved in. Why not check it out to see if you can make a profit at these very same things? Starting a home business can take a lot of time and effort, and having a passion for the focus of your business can be a great source of the stamina necessary to make it through the difficulties in the beginning. What is there a need for? After you jot down what you are good at and what you love to do, it’s time to assess the market for these things. Are you always looking for supplies for your hobby, but can’t ever seem to find what you need? It’s very likely others are having the same difficulty, and a home business that supplies this need would be very well received by this segment of the market. Or maybe you love to decorate your kids’ birthday cakes, and your neighbors would rather pick theirs up at the local grocery store but can’t stand the small selection. This is a market for which you already have the skills and interest to meet the needs. -----Side Bar----- If you are planning to do your business entirely on the Internet, one great tool you can use to check whether there is market for your idea is the Overture Search Term Suggestion Tool: http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ You simply enter the keyword that people might use to search for your product and it’ll return the number of times that term was searched on Overture search engine last month. Amazing isn’t it? Here's another great keyword reporting tool: http://www.wordtracker.com/ -----Side Bar----- But don’t be afraid of markets where you may have some skill, but have a lot to learn. As long as you have the willingness to put time and effort into becoming an expert in your niche, you will be able to develop the specialization you need to be a leader in the market. Once you answer these questions and find the distinct area that will set your business apart from others, you have identified your niche and are ready to develop your home business. ---------------------------------------------------------- Vishal P.

A Natural Blind A blind man walks into a bar, taps the man next him, and says, "Hey, wanna hear a blonde joke?" The man says back to the blind man, "Look buddy, I'm blonde. The man behind me is a 400-pound professional wrestler and he is blonde. The bouncer is blonde. The man sitting over to your left is also blonde. Still wanna tell that blonde joke?" The blind man is silent for a moment and then says, "Nah, I wouldn't want to have to explain it five times." ************* 2. The famous female Olympic skier Picabo Street (Peek-A-Boo) is not just an athlete, she is a nurse. She currently works at the Intensive Care Unit of a large metropolitan hospital. She is not permitted to answer the telephone, however, as it caused simply too much confusion when she would answer the phone and say, .... "Picabo, ICU. " ------------------------------------------------------ **USEFUL TIP OF THE MONTH** "Changing Your Browser's Start Page" When you launch your browser, does it always go straight to MSNBC? Or to Yahoo!? Or to some other site? Would you like to make it open on a blank page instead? Or just change the default entirely, to a new page, like, your page that you built? Here's the how-to... Open Internet Explorer. On the Menu line, click Tools, Internet Options. You'll see the Internet Options dialog box displayed. The General tab is pre-selected. The first item is the Home Page section, and it says "You can change which page to use for your Home Page." The address bar will have a URL (address) listed. Three buttons help you make a choice: Current, Default, and Blank. The buttons are now in order .... * The 'Current' button makes whatever page is in your browser at the moment the new home page. It's the current page. Click to "make it so." * The 'Default' button will most likely make Microsoft's MSN network the default page. * The 'Blank' button - you'll see a blank page. So, if you have a particular page you want to appear when you start IE, just open the menu, set the page to Current, and you've done it. What about Netscape users? Edit your preferences. Click 'Edit' on the menu line, then click 'Preferences'. You'll see the options right there. The format is similar to Internet Explorer. ------------------------------------------------------- **RESOURCES** 1. Test to See How Search-Engine-Friendly Your Site Is Search engines send out spiders (or robots) to investigate your site. These tools allow you to see your site from the spider's point of view. - http://www.1-hit.com/all-in-one/tool.search-engine-viewer.htm - Enter your URL and it gives you a summary of the things you could improve. - http://www.gritechnologies.com/tools/spider.go? - Poodle tells you how many links the spider will see and investigate. - http://tools.summitmedia.co.uk/spider/ - gives a rating and tells you how to improve your site. ------------------------------------------------------ **THOUGHT FOR TODAY** The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself. ~ Anais Nin ------------------------------------------------------ **BOTTOM AD** How'd You Like To Grab A Thousand Bucks In The Next 48 Hours with your own Internet business?
