Jumping Ahead

The neat thing about writing this blog is that it gives me the incentive to seek out interesting new opportunities. The problem with most people who try to start and run their own home-based on-line business, is that they don't have the energy to keep looking for new ways to promote their business or products. And that's a sure-fire way to failure, because the key is to always reach new audiences. It's great to find a "list" that makes it easy to post an ad to millions of viewers, but only a percentage of those actually read the ads. And even those who do read will ignore your ad once they've seen it a couple of times. So you need to keep finding new lists and new prospects. Anyway, the point is that I've come across a unique new list service called List Jumper. The interesting thing about this list building program is that it provides an interesting way to generate viewers (and that means people who read your ads). The usual formula applies - you earn points by viewing ads and then spend those points to send ads. You can also benefit as an affiliate by promoting the site (which builds the list and ensures a constant stream of new users and viewers). But here's the neat thing, you can also "buy" your way to the top of the list to make sure your ads are viewed by everyone on the list, not just your own downline. In other words, you can "jump" up the list and gain access to a wider audience for your ads. And you can do it for free without having to buy into more pricey membership levels that so many other lists use as a model. Of course, you can spend a little cash to buy into those higher levels with List Jumper, too, but what's really unique is that you don't have to. It's a great concept. Check it out here.

Fundraising a big success

One of the great things about this blog is that I spend time reviewing and looking for on-line opportunities that really work. The idea is to provide my loyal readers with an honest and practical guide to starting and managing an on-line business. Anyone who's spent any time trying to start a business knows how much crap there is out there - and that's just the honest programs. Don't even get me started on the scammers. So when I do come across something that works, it's an exciting day for me personally, and for you too! That's why I'm thrilled by the results of the Fundraiser 1.0 program. Since I started, just two months ago, I've had just over 25 sign ups who've joined my network. While that isn't a huge windfall, it does prove that the system has some appeal. And as time goes on, those in my network will help increase this business. And in my experience, that's the REAL way to profit on-line. Forget the big splashy million-dollar deals. Simply find a product or program that works in the long run and keep at it. This one's a winner in my books. Check it out here.
