One of the biggest mistakes new home-based business owners make is trying to do everything from square one.

You can rest assured that whatever you are attempting to do or build, it has already been done.

Sure, it probably won’t be a mirror image of what you’re doing, but it will have many of the same basic ingredients.

The fastest and easiest way to get your business going and growing is by finding others who have already done what you want to do and learning and benefiting from their efforts.

A local business person recently told me he was in the process of building an autoresponder. Of course, this wouldn’t be a strange thing to be doing if it was a service he plans to sell, but it has nothing to do with his business!

Instead of investing a few hours to explore those autoresponders already in existence, he is investing well more than a hundred hours trying to build one on his own so he can communicate with his customers.

By conducting only a couple of hours research, he would have discovered a variety of outstanding, affordable autoresponder services that are highly sophisticated and subject to continual upgrading and improvement to keep up with ever-changing technology and consumer needs.

Imagine the kind of business he could have generated for himself if he focused those one hundred plus hours acquiring new customers for his business and expanding and improving on his products and services!

Unfortunately, like him, many new home business owners are still of the employee mindset — that they have to work relentlessly and do everything alone.

They haven’t yet developed the entrepreneurial mindset that understands you have to work smarter, not harder.

Another time-consuming task many new business owners take on is spending hours, even days, trying to design the perfect logo. I’m embarrassed to say I spent DAYS searching the Internet for sample logos, looking for ideas, then sitting and drawing possible logo after logo.

Most people have more creative flair in their big toe than I have in my entire body, yet I thought that if I put enough time into it, even though it meant not focusing on increasing business, the perfect logo would reveal itself.

I eventually abandoned the obsession and as soon as I handed the project over to my web designer, I had a new, effective and eye-catching logo within 24 hours.

It was a costly mistake. I had spent so many years working in a support capacity that I didn’t know how to make the shift to a leader capacity and delegate the task.

(Even more important, I later realized, having a logo is waaaay down on the priority scale and doesn’t even have to be considered during the start-up period.)

As you are starting your business, consider the following tasks and ask yourself if someone else could be doing them while you focus on building:

designing brochures and marketing materials

creating your web site

setting up your voice mail and e-mail

purchasing supplies and equipment

stuffing envelopes and taking them to the post office, or delivering flyers

market research

hooking up your new computer, modem, fax and installing software

trouble shooting computer problems

writing articles, reports or white papers

These are not revenue generating activities and if you find them challenging or time-consuming, delegate these tasks to someone else like a family member, co-op student or part-time assistant.

For the more specialized items, seek the input of a mastermind member or business colleague on how they handle those responsibilities. Also, hire or barter with experts in marketing, web design and technology.

Another wheel you don’t need to re-invent is that of processes, particularly in the area of marketing.

Marketing may not be your forte, yet it is the most important element of your business, and this is where many new home business owners bury themselves.

The good news is you don’t have to develop your marketing process by trial and error. Commit several days to studying other businesses both in and outside of your industry. How do they promote themselves? How do they collect leads? How do they convert leads?

In other words, how do they catch the attention of potential customers, get them to express an interest to learn more, and how do they get them to ultimately pull out their wallets and buy?

The quickest and easiest way to create winning processes is to study already successful businesses, then model what they do. Sign up for their newsletters and request additional information. Let them begin a courtship with you and pay attention to what they’re doing. Buy a product or two and see what tools they use to keep inviting you back for more.

This doesn’t mean copy them word for word or action by action, but assimilate what works, mould it to your specific business and add the essential ingredient of uniqueness that allows you to stand out from the crowd.

These are just three simple strategies you can start with today to get on the fast-track to home business success.

Again, here they are in a nutshell:

Uncover what has already been created or invented, then implement or install. Don’t reinvent the wheel.

Think like a business owner, not an employee. Delegate, hire or trade.

Model the processes of others who have already achieved the level of success you’re seeking. They’ve already made the mistakes for you and know what works.

Incorporate these strategies and you will shave hours and dollars from your start-up curve and begin reaping the rewards faster than you ever thought possible.

Google Internet Summit 2009: The State of the Internet May 5, 2009 Google Internet Summit 2009 Internet Standards Session. Panelists include Zaheda Bhorat,Tony Rutkowski, John Klensin, Tina Dam, Erik Kline. On May 5 and 6, 2009, in Mountain View, we brought together Googlers and leaders from academia and the corporate world for a 2-day summit to discuss the state of the global Internet. The goal of the summit was to collect a wide range of knowledge to inform Google’s future plans–from product development and market reach to users’ expectations and our ability to keep the Internet open yet secure. More than 30 speakers and moderators led discussions around 8 topics: Networks; Wireless and Sensor Technologies; Security; Standards; Applications; Democracy, Law, Policy and Regulation; Search and Cloud Computing; and The Future. Eric Schmidt, who offered some remarks, expressed optimism that the challenges we face with governments’ walling off access to the Internet can be overcome technologically by building networks that are transparent, scalable, and open.

In the process of becoming an Internet marketer, most of us have used free traffic exchanges at one time or another. After all, they promise free website traffic, and it seems to be so easy to just sit there and click away. However, after a while, most of us realize that either we are doing something wrong or free traffic exchanges just don’t work!

Oh, they deliver free website traffic, all right, but nobody buys into our product or program. We soon figure out that the people looking at our page have seen it before, are bored by it, and are just looking at it, if they ARE looking at it at all, just to pass the time until the next click is due. Really, they are probably more interested in what is going on with their web page than spending time worrying about ours. Eventually, most people begin to feel that it seems so pointless and they drop out and go try something else.

Now, there ARE people using free traffic exchanges to generate real traffic, visits by interested people, to their website, only they have learned a few tricks to make this happen. They have learned to avoid some of the more common mistakes that most people make when using free traffic exchanges.

1. They don’t use their real page. Certainly, the occasional offer or web page is either so universal in topic or so tempting in some way or another that it does okay…at least for a while. However, think about it. After a while, you began to recognize many of the web pages you were shown…over and over. You even began to think to yourself, “There’s that one again. That’s the seventh time I’ve seen it in the last hour.” That is, you might think that if you haven’t already zoned out.

By the way, that “seventh” time may actually be a first time. You realize, of course, that perhaps you have actually been looking at seven other members of the same affiliate program who are promoting their affiliate link. Ever see “your” site roll by? Maybe it wasn’t “your” site!

Part of the game for a successful Internet marketing experience is to stand out in some way, and this is especially true at free traffic exchanges. If you want to stand out, you are going to have to offer something that catches the eye of the other surfer and encourages him or her to click over to your real site. I am not going to go into a discussion of lead capture pages and splash pages right now, but a quick search on the Internet will provide more info.

They sometimes don’t even send people to their “sales” or “pitch” page directly from the traffic exchange. After all, if you can offer someone some kind of gift just for dropping by that helps predispose them to look more favorably on other offers you present than they would if they just show up at a sales site.

2. They use the best free traffic exchanges. For a newcomer, or even for an old internet marketing pro, figuring out which traffic exchanges are the best ones to use can be a challenge. Rest assured, however, that it can be done and it is worth the effort. There are websites that do keep track of this sort of thing, and it is well worth your while to track those down and avail yourself of their knowledge. The good news is that these are generally free and provide you with additional information about free traffic exchanges as well as the opportunity and tools to help build your downline in the various traffic exchanges.

3. They build a downline. Remember the hours you sat in front of your computer clicking away only to find that you have generated just a few hits to your site? Well, to make use of the relatively untargeted visits provided by free traffic exchanges, you need to have hundreds of hits…perhaps even thousands. There is no way most people can or will sit there for the hours needed to generate web site traffic in the volume required. In fact, there are just two ways; buy it or build a downline. Having hundreds of people in your downline at any one site, maybe even thousands, can provide the hits you need for free.

By the way, this brings us back to being with the best traffic exchanges as they will usually have the biggest base of people to view your site, will be the easiest to recruit people to, and may even allow you to buy a downline, as in the case of WebbizInsider.com.

4. They pay for services. This requires a little savvy shopping around, but once the Internet marketing professional has his or her free traffic exchange system up and running, they are willing, at some exchanges at least, to pay to upgrade to a professional level. Many traffic exchanges will allow an upgraded member to collect commissions on purchases made by their downline in addition to getting credits when they surf. Plus, an upgraded membership often includes extra credits as well. With a big downline, this could be a business in itself.

5. They experiment. Maybe I should say that they test. One thing works good at one exchange but not as well as another. It may be only the background color is turning people off, or it may be the whole design of the site. Maybe the product or offer is just not catching on. One test of a product is “did I like it”, but, even so, not everyone is going to be interested in what YOU are interested in.

6. They treat their traffic exchange membership like a business. They take the stance of selling the traffic exchange they are using just as they would do marketing their main product or service. They keep records and try to track which exchanges and which pages are giving the best results.

There’s no denying that Google’s Adsense program is one of the hottest ways to make money on the internet today. You don’t have to look very far to find internet marketers hawking the latest and greatest way to make a fortune online. Some of the hottest new products are website generating software programs that are designed to build adsense websites fast. Some software programs claim to build a website in less than 5 minutes. But how do you separate fact from fiction and choose the best website generating software for your needs?

You might think that your first requirement would be, “How fast can this software build my adsense website?” Not so! The first requirement for choosing website generating software should be the ease of use in relation to your computer skills and knowledge. The most fabulous website generating software in the world is completely useless if the person attempting to run the program lacks the computer skills to execute it successfully. Be honest with yourself when evaluating your own computer skills and choose a software program that matches your current skills. Remember, you can always upgrade as you learn and earn.

The second thing you should do is evaluate the claims made on the sales pages. If a website is offering a program that promises to build an adsense website fast, you must ask yourself the following 5 questions:

1. How believable is the claim?

If the program can generate the site in under 5 minutes, rest assured there will be a significant amount of prep work to do beforehand if the program is worth purchasing. Prep work isn’t a bad thing, but it does add significantly to the amount of time that it takes to complete a website.

2. What is the percentage, if any, of scraped content?

Scraped content can give you a good starting point for your chosen keywords, but don’t rely on it for good long term search engine rankings or adsense earnings. They say that content is king, but unique content is what will bring you the motherload of cash.

3. How much room is there for alteration in the look and feel of the website that is generated?

Search engines like unique sites with unique content. Be certain the website generating software program you buy either has options to give each site its own look and feel, or that you have enough programming experience and literary skills to sufficiently alter the code and content.

4. Will you have to make additional purchases in order to keep using your software?

Some website generating software programs are set up so that in order to continue making full use of the program you must make additional purchases. That could mean that your software will only generate an adsense website if you use a template purchased from the same company. You may also have to purchase upgrades to the software itself or purchase the instructional manual or videos.

5. Is the software program affordable given my current financial situation?

You can find every kind price range for website generating software on the internet from completely free to outrageously expensive. The key is not to go overboard in the beginning. It takes time to build your Adsense earnings up to a decent level, so pace yourself and your expenses until you begin earning a steady income.

Every internet marketer wants to build adsense websites fast and website generating software programs are a great way to give yourself a head start. After all, the more sites you have, the greater your earning potential. However, don’t allow your enthusiasm and excitement to override your common sense. Start slowly and treat your online business with the same care and attention you would a brick and mortar business. You’ll be glad you did.

Would you like to build your own web page for free? Are you trying to attract new customers or drive more visitors to your product or service? Are you techno-phobic or tangled in a web of computer confusion? Do you already have a web page needing an update, but don’t want to waste more time/money on it?

If you’re ready to build your own web page for free here are a few of the things you’ll need to look at.

Assessing and developing an internet strategy for marketing your product or service.
Whether to build your own web page for free, or hire the right person to do it.
Secrets to developing an effective web page, including tricks the pros use.
How to list with search engines and what it takes to get first page placement visibility.
Setting up low-cost effective domain names and web hosting.

While making up your mind on whether or not to build your own web page for free some things you might want to consider. First is how good does your site need to work? If you are trying to market to professionals then a cheap and easy page that you just throw together for free will not do.

On the other hand if you are building a web page that will be for you and your family’s entertainment then you should be able to build your own web page for free. There are many ways to go about building you own web page. Some involve purchasing high dollar others using the build your own web page for free software that is provided by your ISP.

If you’re looking to build your own web page for free and yet build it fast and easy, and still be able to customize it and make it professional looking without learning HTML code, then you may want to look at one of the step by step web page building software packages available.

These programs rage in price from free to a few hundred dollars, typically the more expensive the more bells and whistles, but don’t go out and buy the most expensive one you find. More often than not the high dollar programs will have features you will probably never use. On the other had you can get a step by step program that will help you build your own web page for free, all you have to after that is pick a domain name and hosting service to host you’re web page.

You may have pondered about buying a computer for a long time. When you finally decide to take the plunge and get yourself a computer, it is time to weigh your options carefully.

The first question on your mind may be whether to go for a pre-built computer or to build your own. Both approaches have their pros and cons. When you go for a pre-built computer, what you really buy is convenience. Such computers are guaranteed to have no compatibility issues among the various components used, have technical support available and may come with warranties and service plans offered by the manufacturer.

With a computer built with your own hand, you get none of these facilities.  What you get is customization and price advantage. On the side, you get to learn a lot about how a computer is put together when you build your own and you get a computer that fits your needs perfectly.

You can build your own computer in several ways:

1.    You could buy the individual components of a computer and then put them all together yourself to build a computer.

2.    A barebones computer kit comes with a pre-built skeleton to which you add a couple of components and have a computer ready to run.

3.    You could go to an electronics retail store like Fry’s and use the in-house experts to guide you in deciding what components to buy and use them to build your own computer

4.    Your neighborhood computer technician is another good option that could be explored especially when you know what components to buy but are not sure how to go about building the computer.

5.    Several computer component warehouses sell large volumes at low cost. If you have a tight budget, sourcing your components from such stores is a good option. The price savings can be significant in this case.

6.    If you do not have an idea of how to go about building your computer, the Internet is an excellent source of information. Many websites guide you on how to select components, and give guidance on building the computer. There are also videos available online that show you how to do so.

7.    Another favored option could be your friendly neighborhood computer geek. Geeks can be very helpful when it comes to Do-It-yourself projects like building your own computers. They have the requisite level of knowledge coupled with the research skills required to get the job done.

8.    Another valuable source of information on how to go about building your computer is the public library. You may find several resources here that can help you build your own computer.

9.    The science teacher of your local school is also a resource-person who can help you can see your project through.

10.    If you know someone who has a homebuilt computer, you could ask him for guidance when you build your own computer.
