Niche Marketing – What Is That?
May 17th
Niche marketing simply put in layman terms is to find a specific audience or customer. This group may not be very large, however, they are very targeted. As a matter of fact, these groups are in fact the groups of people we see everyday and had something in common. Here’s why,
Just look around you. Your best friend for example. He or she like something very specific or he or she has something very specific troubling her. Maybe if you can’t relate to that, then take yourself for example. We know everyday that we can’t be without our trusty computer.
Let’s say, one day, your computer is down with some spyware and you want to find a solution to erase that spyware. That is a niche. It means to say that – You (a person) is finding a spyware remover to remove that spyware in your computer. That is a very specific niche. So, if you are into niche marketing, you had to find this type of niche that you can really work on it.
It does not rocket science to understand that. Just some common sense and you will find that there are many niches around you.
Article Marketing-The Long Lost Forgotten Benefit
May 9th
If you have been writing articles for your promotions or marketing of your website, you probably been either outsourcing or write these articles yourself. But as time goes on, not many will maintain the standard of article they wrote, let alone know the benefit of writing an article.
True, people who wrote article are for backlink purpose but article marketing is more than just backlink. Heres’ why.
People go over the web for information and entertainment. If you have articles that speak for your business, then you will build some exposure. This is the number one benefit of article marketing.
The number two benefit in article marketing is hard to achieve but not impossible, is that you will gain credibility and that expert status in your niche. These are the long lost forgotten benefit in article marketing. Many just forget all these completely or they know but are purely aiming for backlink and thus their quality of article drop.
So by putting yourself in your customer shoes, think what they want to know about your product and services and how you can benefit them. Write for them and syndicate your articles either by your outsource or with an automated software.
What Is A Domain and A Hosting?
May 3rd
I still have people asking me about what is a domain and a hosting. So I thought it would be good for me to just put it down in this blog post so that it would benefit others who do not know yet.
From Wikipedia – Web Hosting
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own or lease for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation.
From Wikipedia – Domain Name
A domain name is an identification label that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control on the Internet, based on the Domain Name System (DNS).
In short, Domain name is just like www.facebook.com or www.yourcompany.com, while, hosting, you may treat it as a hardisk in your computer, only the different is that, it is hosted elsewhere.

3 Different Business Model Online
Apr 25th
Hi moms,
You may have heard about earning online. But with so many options out there which one really suits you? Well, fear not, the following may help you choose which one most suits you.
Affiliate Marketing
This is a business model where you help product owner to promote their product and in turn they give you a cut or percentage of commission. This type can start at no cost but the learning curve maybe high for some of you. You will need to learn how to market affiliate product effectively and many other marketing topics.
Own Product
This is where you have your own product and either you sell it on your own or go towards the affiliate model as shown above. This is very lucrative if done right. However the time and effort you put into research and developing a product may be out of reach, considering you need to juggle your family and product creation. And if you did not do enough market research on the market you want to sell to, it may be a waste of your time.
Network Marketing
This is yet another model that many people frown on. This is in fact a marketing business model. What that means is, the principle driven behind it is all about marketing. The success or failure of you who are in this business all depends on how well you market it. Considering the fact that, the market, the product and the research had all been done. You just had to plug into their already working system to start marketing. Although some network marketing need a huge sum to invest in, some not, you have to do your home work prior joining. If you ask me what type best suits mum to work with, I should say it comes down to 3 main thing,
- The product is digital and very one on Earth need it
- No need to put in a huge sum up front
- Less than $30 monthly investment
If the above are what you are looking for, then, you will be likely interested in the following website.
Why People Avoid Network Marketing MLM
Apr 16th
Moms, if you have heard about mlm or network marketing then you should have heard about amyway, herbalife or even tupperware.
Many are skeptical or simply avoid these type of business. The funny thing is, when I ask these people if they ever join one or trying to understand what is MLM all about? 9 out of 10 say NO. Now, isn’t that funny? They know nothing about MLM or network marketing as a whole (and they only hear what others say) and they avoid MLM like plague.
But for those whom I met and had join MLM but failed, they told me that it is doable and because they themselves never had the proper training or had no time to do it, that’s why they drop out.
So, as you can see, network marketing or MLM is just a business model. What one has to do is to learn how to market. And that precisely many whom join do not have prior marketing skills or business building skills. So many drop out and some of them even curse and swear that MLM is a scam. Well, can’t totally blame them because they do not have the proper education.
And that bring us to the sum of money invested. Many MLM companies will want you to buy certain amount of products prior starting. This is fine because most of the products you can use it. But many people cringe on hearing that. But they do not see the other side.
Imagine, if you were to join and do not have a product. How would you tell others about the product if they asked you? Same thing, if you went into a clothing retail store, an the one whom serve you is first day at work, had no knowledge about what you talking, will you buy from her?
I think you know the answer.
I could go on and on about network marketing. But from the above, you have seen the reason why and the two side of people. If you are currently in network marketing, you probably know what I’m talking about, for those who do not know but want to know more about network marketing and how other moms are using this business model to better their family life can either contact me using the contact form found in my blog or simply go to my website which I prepare specifically for moms like you.

Top 5 Tips for Successful Article Writing
Apr 14th
Article marketing is the proven marketing online method. Not only will it gives you the exposure you want, but will also give you the much needed seo effect and the authority that you establish in your niche. However, to do a successful article marketing campaign, you will need to know some very basic information to build up a strong sold article writing foundation that will help you in years to come.
Below are some practical tips that will help you in your article writing.
Tip #1:
The most important thing you need to do when writing articles is to capture your reader’s attention. How else are they going to read to the bottom of your article to click on your link? How can you get people’s attention? It has been proven that people related better to stories or people they know. Adding a quote from a well known person near the beginning of your article to make people associate your knowledge with the well known person’s knowledge. Or alternatively you could retell a story that you once heard, it can be something that happened to you or a fable that you can make connections to your topic with.
Tip #2:
Of course what is a great article without a catchy title?! The reason I still put that you need an article that will capture and keep people’s attention is that this will decide how many people enjoy your article. You want to keep a high level of quality for all your articles, since that will bring in the most people to visit your web sites. But of course you will need a title to get people to take a look at your article. You will want to come up with a title that describes what your article topic is, but with something of a mystery to get people to click. People respond well to lists and “top 10′s” but they also like questions or implications of success.
Tip #3:
Pick a very hot topic. If you’re writing about nursing or babies, try to write an article about the latest fad in diapers or something that is related to the current world. Write articles that are seasonal or festive. Webmasters and ezine owners are always looking for an article that relates well to the current time of the year. When it’s Christmas time, relate your topic to Christmas and do the same for other holidays and seasons. If you’re not sure what else you could use, read the news, some weblogs or talk to your friends to find out the most current events.
Tip #4:
Check your grammar and spelling. This might seem obvious, but articles that have bad grammar or spelling are not going to help you much. These articles might even be rejected by certain article submission sites! So take the extra few seconds it takes to press the “Spellcheck button”. You’ll see it makes a big difference.
Tip #5:
Write from the heart or from personal experience. This is one tip that helps you write articles more easily which is then reflected in your articles. If you’re interested in the topic you’re writing about, you’re bound to write better articles. Maybe you found out that a certain keyword is very saught after, but you’re just not feeling motivated to write about it. Take a break and write about something that really thrills you, and think of the other topic at the same time. If you keep practicing this technique, soon you’ll think positive things about more topics and will be able to write about a wide range of topics without losing out on the personal touch you can add to each of your articles.
Internet Business Mindset
Apr 14th
Understanding most of the mothers have time constraint and most of them wanted to have their own small business online so as to have more time for family and kids. And their first choice is setting up their online shop and start selling things they like. I know quite a few mothers whom set up their own bling bling online store, consultancy online business and an internet marketing business.
They are successful in their own rights.
The reason behind why they are successful and can more time with their family is because they are have the correct internet business mindset. Many people want to venture into online business because they think it’s the easy way out and can work from home. But this is usually not the case. Internet or online business operates the same as an brick and mortar business, except that you can work from home.
So if you think you want to start an online business, apart from sourcing the goods and looking what type of services or product people want, below are some of the pointers that you might consider,
- Do not treat it as a hobby
- Have the hunger to succeed
- Must bear the initial hardship
- Learn how to market online
- Positive outlook
- Invest in yourself (buy some self development or business building books)
- Discard what is not working for you
So as you can see from the above, having all of these is important for you to get started right. Don’t fall into those headline saying Earn X amount in X amount of days. Or getting – rich – scheme.
I wish you all the success
Is it possible to succeed in IM “part-time”?
Apr 12th
Hi moms,
Recently when I am surfing around my favorite internet marketing forum, I found this guy name Petelta who wrote a wonderful post of is it whether that you can succeed online “part-time”. I think this post is great because he share his story and experience with others marketers on the forum. I PMed him and ask his permission to republish on this blog for your reference and knowledge and he agreed.
Below is his posting, read, understand and apply. O ya, enjoy too.
To give my personal experience with IM, I started all of this working a full time job that required me to travel about 95% of the time. I spent about 10-12 hours a day doing my full time job work and put 2-4 hours of IM work in every night.
I did this for around a year and half bouncing from method to method like it sounds like you’ve experienced.
Today, I have quite a few successful websites in various niches that pull in on average $3,000 a site.
What made the difference was sticking with one system and doing it until it worked. Nearly every system on this forum is capable of making you an income.
You have to realize as quickly as possible that you aren’t going to make money quickly. You are going to put in hundreds upon hundreds of hours and not see any return from it….not then anyways. Every one of us that have made a living from IM has put in this time with no early return. Trust me it’s all worth it in the end.
It sounds like you are early in the game and honestly you have a lot to learn. Those hundreds of hours used not making money are going to be to determine what works for you. You have to learn the process. Once you find something that works, replicate. Stick to one system and master it. Make money from it then outsource it. Then you can move on to another system and implement in the initial business.
You’ve been doing adwords with no success you say. Test your headlines and text used with the adwords. Test the keywords you’re using. Test your webpage design. Test the sales copy. Test the products. Find what your market likes. These are just a few of the necessary steps required to make money from any market.
After you learn, it gets easier and easier every market or project you do after that.
My first niche website took me over 6 months to develop and got 100 viewers a day to it. I made about 1 sale every 2 days after 6 months of not making a dime.
Now I have my system established and I can replicate that same process in under 30 days in multiple markets. This is mostly because I know exactly what steps need to be taken to get to my final outcome. I also have some funds now to outsource each of these steps, so I can get 3-5 websites going at once while I am just essentially a project manager.
Just stick with it. It is worth it in the end..I promise.

Is Product Really Important In Choosing A MLM Company?
Apr 9th
I face this question by people who want to join a network marketing company. First they will come up and tell me, may i see your product first and after that, they follow up to say this is not the product I think I can promote with.
Well, although there is no wrong or right answer for this.
If you are doing it from a consumer point of view, then the product and the pricing is important to you. However, if you are doing it as a network marketer or a business, then, you should be looking into the compensation plan and the team or leader you are following and here’s why.
When you decided to enter a network marketing company and earn money from there, you are looking at making a profit and product is secondary. It is because, the company that you are in had already done the research prior they open for business. So what left of you is to only find a niche within that market or brand yourself to market your business opportunity.
If you know how to brand and market, any product to you is secondary. It is the HOW you market and WHOM you market to. Some markets are huge to accommodate 2 or more products. Having said all these, the next important thing is the compensation plan. You have to see how and when you going to get paid and by looking at the big picture, you will easily get it.
With that being said, you can see that, product although plays a part but it is too minor to have any effect in the network marketing business you are in. The only thing that will affect you is the how knowledgeable the team is in terms of marketing and leveraging. Do your homework before joining any of the team.
And if you are reading till now, there’s a team dedicated to mothers. This is the only network marketing group in Singapore that teaches proven marketing techniques complete with full marketing training to get you started fast so that you will see result much faster.
