Before you can have a successful home based business, you must first possess 3 "intangibles." These are things that must come from WITHIN you.
First,you must have a strong WHY.
Why MUST you have a successful home business? What is driving you? What is it that you CAN'T have in your life anymore and/or what is it that you absolutely MUST HAVE now? For me, I couldn't stand working 12+ hours a day anymore and missing the experience of my children growing up. I also absolutely HAD TO HAVE the freedom of being able to control my life and finances through a little box (laptop computer) that I could carry with me anywhere in the world and not be tied to anyone's time pressures or demands but my own. That was my carrot and my stick. I felt a great pain deep in my gut of missing out on my children's lives and the incredible freedom that succeeding in a home based business would provide for me. I found my why. You MUST find yours.
Secondly, You must BELIEVE that it is possible.
If you don't believe that it's POSSIBLE for you to have a successful home based business or make your living from home, you won't. It's that simple. For me, figuring out that it was possible was just a matter of realizing that many other people were ALREADY making great money working from home. If they could do it, I could too. It would just be a matter of figuring out what those people were doing and then adapting it to my situation. There is no shortage of undeniable PROOF that people (millions of them) are making money working from home. Just get online and do some research and you'll find countless testimonials and stories of REAL PEOPLE making real money on the Internet. Or head to your local bookstore and you'll find the same documented evidence of this fact. Truth is, it's getting easier and easier to make money with your own home based business. I've always said that "affiliate marketing" (a simple way to make money from home) is the job of the future. In the old days, you had to go to a potential employer, apply for the position and hope for the best. Now you can simply go to any company you want, fill out their affiliate application and start work immediately. Affiliates are the new working class. In fact, making money with affiliate programs or making your living on the Internet is WAY MORE than possible. It is pretty much (or will be soon enough) unavoidable now. Affiliate marketing is the "job" of the future that's already here TODAY.
Thirdly, You must be willing to MAKE THE LEAP.
Ready, FIRE, then aim... This is the operating philosophy you MUST adopt to succeed with a home based business. That's backwards for most people who like to aim before they fire. The fact is that home based business success is a moving target... The only thing constant about it is change. You need to stop analyzing the game and simply jump into it. You can't learn from the outside... You have to be *IN THE RING* to truly understand and profit from it. In fact, this is a business where you can truly be earning WHILE you're still learning... The lesson here is that you will never really be READY to start a home based business. You simply have to start one. It's like having children... You're never really ready, but when it happens you adapt and grow and therefore you succeed. This is what I call: "Making the Leap"! The good news is that the cost of failure with having your own home based business is very small. In the "brick and mortar" world you need to evaluate things very carefully before you decide to open up a business. It's almost always necessary to invest thousands of dollars to get an offline business off the ground. However, on the Internet you can often start a successful business for less than $100.
The Plug-In Profit Site is a great example of this where you can get your own money-making site setup free within 24 hours: http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62a&lc=IOAm&mc=f&s=i43D4&y=C&
You simply need get IN THE GAME... Each moment that you stay "out there," you're wasting valuable time that you could be learning and skills necessary to build a successful home based business. In fact, if you're not in the game yet, you're ALREADY behind the times... Make the leap to starting and building a successful home business TODAY! ... NO! ... NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

personality profile: Michelangelo ... the brain behind the university of internet!
by daniel foluwasade
Michelangelo --- is a Bible waving, pew jumping, offering-plate-passing, charismatic preacher’s Kid. Many say he learned how to ‘Ask for the offering’ before he learned how to talk.
Many believe this. It’s hard not to … Michelangelo knows the SCIENCE of attracting money.
He was the founder of The Fat To Muscle Makeover, Inc., where he trained over 100 pastors and deacons and well over 1,000 fitness enthusiasts. He was the co-founder of SmilenDial, Inc., a company responsible for importing over 1 million Fresh-cut flowers and exotic roses into the United States.
He believes this: "Put all your eggs in one basket and watch ‘em grow."
Michelangelo knows the power of Permission-Based emailing campaigns. He knows the Internet. In 2003 Michelangelo agreed to be left alone in an Asheville, NC Mountain cabin for 3 days with one loaf of bread, gallons of water, and a dial up Internet connection. Zero money. No credit cards. Zilch.
The challenge? To quickly earn enough money off the Internet (within 3 days) to order a delicious Omaha steak and lobster dinner for two…
Which meant he would have to find a date as well. 10 hours into his challenge he had earned $456.00 off the Internet from scratch. No advertising help. Nothing.
24 hours later his date came knocking.
But that was a Horror story…
Not everything on the Internet is really what they proclaim (or she in his case).
Michelangelo lives in NY, NY, single, and is 40 years old. He enjoys traveling across the US on a train or Greyhound bus. He is a former bodybuilder, a dedicated fitness enthusiast, and he enjoys a good competitive game of racquetball. He also delights in teaching his mind-boggling mnemonic device.

Online Programs: THE GOOGLE TRENDS WAY...
THE GOOGLE TRENDS WAY...
Presently, i don't know the number of visits Google have on a daily basis but let us just
guess than it is 20 MILLION searches that occur on Google every single day [though I know it is more than that]. Now if Google have 20 million searches on a daily basis. That definitely means that people are searching for different things right? While I am searching on PAINTS, you could be doing a search on MONEY, someone else is doing a search on MARRIAGE,another one is doing a search on CELEBRITY. Another one on
shoes...and so on. Now imagine if google then comes up and say that right now what people are searching MORE about is on PAINTS...What would you do?
If you are a smart person what you will do is to quickly set-up a website immediately on
paints and get products on paints to sell as an affiliate. Because if PAINTS is what people are searching mostly on at the moment on Google that definitely means that millions of people for one reason or the other are interested in paints at the moment. And by setting up a website on paint i am sure that i will definitely make sales because without any doubt people are interested about it at the moment. Google has a tool that reveals the 1-100 most search word at the moment, at any particular hour. I mean Google can tell you what people are searching more on right now in this particular hour from 1-100. And this tool is FREE! I am going to show you how to maximize this tool and ensure that every single day you make money online.
Step 1: Go to www.google.com/trends/hottrends and take a look at the 1-100 most search
term at a particular hour. Some of those terms have millions of searches and infact for some term that could have been on that list for the past 6-8 hours which means millions of people have been searching on that word for the past to 6-8 hours. Unfortunately not all the words are products or services. For example recently on the day of the election between Obama and John McCain. You can be assured that many people where doing a search for that term on Obama, so don't be surprised if you find just people names on that list. But definitely you would see some that are products or services. I just did a search right now and are some of the things i came up with: dedication 3 download, watch gossip girl season 2 episode 10, one tree hill season 6 episode 10, alpine access, most wanted movie, hale telescope...
Step 2: Select one of those items that you think there you can sell and open a blog on it. Just go to www.blogger.com and open a blog for that product name. For example let me assume that i noticed that people are searching on xp dell laptop. What you will quickly do is to go over to www.blogger.com and open a blog account that is similar to the product. E.g www.dellxplaptop.blogspot.com . The first and Second step shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes.
Step 3: Look for affiliate programs. An affiliate program simply means, you sell someone else product and you get a commission for every sale that you make. The good news about this affiliate marketing strategy i am teaching here is that most of the products that you will find always sell for high price. Some of them sells on the Internet for $100, some for $200 and so on which means that your affiliate commission is likely to be high. The bad news is that from research most of the products are not digital, that means they are not downloadable on the Internet. For example while a shoe can sell for $500 on the Internet, you cannot download it, it will need to be shipped to the owner. That means you wont be able to work effectively with click bank using this strategy since click bank sells only digital [downloadable] products. There are several ways to around this. One of the best way is for you to do a search on www.google.com and type the word there plus affiliate programs. E.g “Sanita shoes +affiliate programs” “Sanita shoes” “ Sanita shoes affiliate programs” By doing a search on google you are likely to see affiliate programs on such words. Another beautiful thing that i found is that, your competition will be very low since these words are not regularly searched for. They are just most searched for that time. Meanwhile if www.google.com does not give you a good result. You will need to go to www.cj.com and register as an affiliate. They work like click bank but they sell physical
products unlike click bank that sells only digital products. All the steps that i have shared above, shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes. The only reason someone will tell me that he didn't apply this technique it's because of laziness. Because it is simple and doesn't cost anything.
Step 4: The final step after you have placed the affiliate programs on the blog is to sendinstant traffic to the blog. I mean FAST and QUICK traffic. If 1,000,000 people are searching for term on google in a particular hour, you either find a way to send some of those traffic to your blog if you want to make quick cash. I mean if an affiliate program is ready to pay you $70 as commission for the sale of their product,and this product has 1,000,000 people searching for it at a particular hour that mean if you are 100% sure that you will make money. Because the demand is already there. Go to websites like www.digg.com or www.answers.yahoo.com and Post as many articles as you can. That way your article appears immediately and you will start seeing traffic to your blog which can convert into sales.
This method look really simple but like i said it works. It wont take you more than 1hr and it wont cost you anything so just give it a try NOW!!!

boardNET: WHAT DOES IT TAKES TO MAKE MILLIONS ONLINE???
[1] Time Management: This is crucial. Your time is your life. You must come to that place in your life when you realize that everything you do with your time must be an investment, if it is not so, then throw it away. Also you must realize that for every investment, there must be returns, profits. Don't spend time every day reading emails and visiting forums, you don't need them. When i visit forums, i either do so because i want to make a reasonable post that will drive traffic to my website, or i want to use it to build good relationships with people. I don't just visit for visiting sake. Meanwhile one of the best forum you should join is www.warriorforum.com register, you will learn a lot.
[2]Focus: If you are a member of my mailing list, i believe you are familiar with this quote that says” Discipline Is 50% Success”. This is what many Nigerians lack and that is the reason they would never make money online until they change their thinking. For example in 2009, i have already projected that I would make 80% of my money from creating and selling my own information products and then 20% from affiliate products. That is focus. So i wont buy any product that has to do with affiliate marketing. I am really focused. I just told you about Google Trends, and what did i say about it?I said, though it is good and works very well, i don't use it. I mean i have never REALLY tried it. I have only tested it... There is a difference! The reason is because i am a very focused person. Have some focus for yourself. When you buy an e-book or you attend a seminar ensure that you NEVER attend another seminar unless you have put what you previously learnt from the first seminar to work. You could even be one of "them?!", who have attended up to 10 or even 20 seminars and yet they can boast of $100 a month online. Too Bad. The problem is not always from the seminar facilitator it is always from the student. No focus, No fame!!!
3]Have a business plan: One of the things i am going to do for this soon to be 400 elite
student of mine is to show them how to draw a successful Internet business plan that will be worth millions of dollars. Do you know what ”exactly” you will be doing next month online? If you don't then you don't have a plan yet. Here is example of a business plan that can bring in $10,000 a month after 3 months of applying it:
[a] In January 2009, open a membership website for $11 a month and get 100 people to
register for it. So that month you made $1,100
[b]In that membership website you will have a backend product that sells for $47, and if 20 of them buys if that is $940. So instead of making just $1,100 you end up making $2,040
[c]You will still have affiliate programs in your membership site that will increase your
earnings to $2,700 a month. This is just a lay-man business plan. But it is a great place to start. With this plan my goal is get 100 people join my site a month. Which will mean $2,700.In my first month, BUT in the second month i wont make $2,700 rather i would have $5,400!. The third month $8,100. By continually bringing in 100 people a month I am doubling my income..and by the twelveth month i am will be talking of $32,400 from just one website! Now you can operate more websites and make more money. I was told of someone who has over 200 websites and all of them are up and running. That means if just one of such website brings him $10 a day that would be $2,000 a day and about $730,000 a year!!! And i can tell you this, he makes more than that amount in a year!.
It is all about building a real Internet business. So many are looking for money makers and not business and that is their problem. I also have a friend who focuses only on Affiliate products, and today he is making around $10,400 every month from affiliate products only working just 5 hours a day. Think about it!
To your success,

Online Programs: Why You Need Residual Income
One of the reasons we determined that Empowerism a good program to promote is that they pay out a lion's share of the commissions to affiliates. $20.00 out of a $24.95 sale getting paid to the affiliate is pretty good terms, right? As an affiliate, you need to work with companies that put YOU first. After all, you're the one driving the traffic to their site and they don't have a lot of risk since they only pay you when you generate a sale. But a lot of affiliate programs don't understand that. In fact, many programs out there are paying 5-15% commission on products they should be paying you a lot more for. But there is another extremely important factor that determines success or failure as an affiliate marketer. That is whether or not the company pays you one time or pays you residual income for a single sale. This is a big, BIG, *BIG* factor you need to consider before you join ANY affiliate program. If I was promoting products from affiliate programs that only paid me one time for a sale, I'd still need a job somewhere else to cover my basic living expenses. But I realized from day one (after reading Robert Allen's Multiple Streams of Income book) that I needed to work exclusively with programs that paid me residual income. On the Internet, residual income is basically selling a "subscription service" so that when someone buys the product you get paid UP-FRONT one time and then each month when that person's subscription renews with the company, you get paid again, and again, and again... EVERY MONTH for as long as that person continues using the service. I have Internet sales that I made 8 years ago that are still paying me today. This is the power of residual income. As crazy as it sounds, 90% of the people I see fail at generating any significant income from affiliate programs are promoting products that do NOT pay a substantial residual income. So just as you might put on a pair of sunglasses to filter out UV rays, you should put on a pair of mental glasses that filters out ANY program that does NOT pay you residual income. Affiliate programs that pay only one-time for a single sale are BAD for your financial health. Think about it... It takes the same energy on your part to promote something thatpays you ONLY one time as it does to promote something that pays you EVERY MONTH forever. So would you rather spend a day to make a sale that you get paid for that day and that day only or would you rather spend a day and make sale that pays you for the rest of your life? There is only one RIGHT answer to that question. Unless you're just a hobbyist and don't care how much you earn from your efforts, then you shouldn't touch an affiliate program with a ten foot pole that doesn't pay you residual income. You should ONLY focus on programs and products that pay youresidual income.
What are examples of products and affiliate programs that pay residual income?
1) Membership SitesThere are many sites on the Internet that charge people a monthly membership fee to gain access to their services. For example, Empowerism charges $19.95/month to maintain a membership and gain access to all of their proprietary Internet marketing tools and training. As an affiliate for Empowerism, you earn $20 up-front when one of your prospects join the program and $7 per month for the life of their membership.
2) Hosting ServicesEveryone who wants to have their own website on the Internet needs a good web host. I discovered early on that web hosting sells like crazy and you can make a fortune selling hosting services as an affiliate because the demand for hosting is so high. So I did my research and partnered with a hosting company called Host4Profit that offers a great residual income affiliate program. Host4Profit pays you $10 up-front and $10 per month every month for the life of your referral's hosting account. In other words, when you refer 10 people and get paid $100 per month every month. The good part about promoting hosting services is that when people get a website host, they usually stick with it for a long time. It's like someone signing up for telephone service. Once you have a telephone service setup, you keep using it every month and rarely stop the service or change providers. Promoting website hosting services is a great way to generate residual income online.
3) Business OpportunitiesOnline business opportunities offer another great way to get paid residual income on the Internet. The reason for this is simple. Millions of people are flocking to the Internet every day looking for a reliable way to earn extra income. So online business opportunities have become a HUGE industry. The great thing about online business opportunities is that they are much easier than offline business opportunities. All you really need to do for these is find out where the people are searching for these business opportunities and POSITION yourself in front of them. You don't even have to "sell" the opportunity. People are going to join these opportunities anyway so all you do is setup your marketing in such a way that people find the opportunity through your link instead of someone else's. There are many easy ways to do this and I'll share some of those with you in future lessons. In fact, one of the online business opportunities I've had the most success with so far is called Success University. Success University is a MLM company "Internet style". It gives you all the benefits of earning from other people's efforts without all the hassle of talking to people, going to meetings, etc. You just promote a link that encourages people to sign up and take a test-drive for $2 and then they follow the system and start doing the same thing under you. I've built a team of THOUSANDS of people with Success University just by promoting it through my website and auto responder. That's the power of the Internet. I always loved the concept of MLM, but I hated the idea of face-to-face selling.
In conclusion, with the Internet and tools like a website, autoresponder and automated marketing activities, you can build huge organizations and earn tons of money in these programs.
But again... The KEY is choosing the RIGHT programs.
To your success!,

Host4Profit pays you $10 up-front and $10 per month every month for the life of your referral's hosting account. In other words, when you refer 10 people and get paid $100 per month every month. The good part about promoting hosting services is that when people get a website host, they usually stick with it for a long time. It's like someone signing up for telephone service. Once you have a telephone service setup, you keep using it every month and rarely stop the service or change providers. Promoting website hosting services is a great way to generate residual income online.
3) Business OpportunitiesOnline business opportunities offer another great way to get paid residual income on the Internet. The reason for this is simple. Millions of people are flocking to the Internet every day looking for a reliable way to earn extra income. So online business opportunities have become a HUGE industry. The great thing about online business opportunities is that they are much easier than offline business opportunities. All you really need to do for these is find out where the people are searching for these business opportunities and POSITION yourself in front of them. You don't even have to "sell" the opportunity. People are going to join these opportunities anyway so all you do is setup your marketing in such a way that people find the opportunity through your link instead of someone else's. There are many easy ways to do this and I'll share some of those with you in future lessons. In fact, one of the online business opportunities I've had the most success with so far is called Success University. Success University is a MLM company "Internet style". It gives you all the benefits of earning from other people's efforts without all the hassle of talking to people, going to meetings, etc. You just promote a link that encourages people to sign up and take a test-drive for $2 and then they follow the system and start doing the same thing under you. I've built a team of THOUSANDS of people with Success University just by promoting it through my website and auto responder. That's the power of the Internet. I always loved the concept of MLM, but I hated the idea of face-to-face selling.
In conclusion, with the Internet and tools like a website, autoresponder and automated marketing activities, you can build huge organizations and earn tons of money in these programs.
But again... The KEY is choosing the RIGHT programs.
To your success!,

boardNET: website promotion
by: Steve Nash
At times, website promotion can seem confusingly complicated. There seem to be so many, sure-fire new ways to get thousands of hits to your site. Whilst some of these methods work, most just waste your time. So, welcome back to the basics of website promotion - 10 simple, effective, ways to promote your site. Learn something new, or just remind yourself of an 'old favourite'.
1. SUBMIT YOUR SITE TO SEARCH ENGINES & DIRECTORIES: Submit your site to all the major search engines and directories (except Yahoo!). Repeat at monthly intervals ONLY if your site isn't listed on the first 3 pages for your chosen words!
Links: - http://www.jimtools.com/submit.html - http://www.shoptour.co.uk/submit-all.html - UK shopping Tip: Hand submit your site to the major search engines here - http://www.howipromotemywebsite.com/bin/ap.pl?site-submit
2. SUBMIT YOUR SITE TO YAHOO! (& DMOZ)!: Both Yahoo! and the Open Directory Project (DMOZ) are search directories that are edited by real people. As such, you must follow the submission guidelines of both sites exactly, or your site will not succeed in getting listed. And Yahoo! is one of the busiest sites on the web, with DMOZ helping your chances of a good listing on Google. It really is vital that your site gets listed on one of these directories!

Tip: Yahoo! Exposed shows you how to get a #1 Yahoo listing - http://www.snash.org/go/yahoo-exposed.html
3. SWAP LINKS WITH OTHER SITES: Do the following - Identify sites with similar content to yours - Get in touch with the site's webmaster (use their name) - Politely ask for a reciprocal link, then create a "Links" section on your site and put the links there. Not everyone will respond, but it is worth your effort as search engines can rank sites based on how many other sites link to it!

Tip: Do a search on Google, for "banner exchange programs" - http://www.google.com/
5. USE A SIGNATURE FILE: A signature file (sigfile) is a block of text that can be appended to the end of each e-mail message sent by your e-mail software. Use it in your e-mail, or whenever you participate in discussion groups relevant to your services or products (see below).

6. POST A NEWSGROUP DISCUSSION: Somewhere, there's a newsgroup or forum involved in discussions relevant to your site. A good place to find them is Google, which allows you to search all of the Usenet newsgroups for a particular term or phrase. Post a message to a suitable newsgroup using Outlook Express (or other newsreader software) , or via Google's news-group site. Follow the newsgroup guidelines, but it is okay to use your signature file!

Online Programs: why would anyone want to be an affiliate?
by Jin Png
When I got online looking for ways to supplement my income back in 1999 I didn't have my own product(s) to sell. Even if I would have had my own products, I didn't have the knowledge required to know how to sell them online. So the FIRST thing I did after reading Robert Allen'sMultiple Streams of Income book was get on his conference calls to learn about OTHER ways to make money online since I didn't have my own products. That's when I first discovered affiliate programs. I learned that there are a bunch of companies on the Internet that will allow you to fill out a short application and INSTANTLY become their affiliate. These companies provide the products for you to sell, give you websites and marketing tools to sell them with, follow-up with any prospects you send their way, close the sale, ship the products, handle customer service and complaints, and do virtually all the stuff you would have to do if you were selling your own products. Then whenever someone you send to that company buys something, you get paid a commission for it. It's a win-win situation. The company is looking for more people to promote their products and they only pay a commission when an actual sale is generated. As an affiliate, you don't have all the burden of providing the product or service, following-up, closing the sale, handling customer satisfaction issues, dealing with "problem people", etc. You just get people to the company's website and the company takes care of all that for you. So being an affiliate is really a mindset thing. Would you rather run a company that is responsible for providing the product or service, starting relationships with prospects, following up relentlessly to close the sale, shipping the product, handling returns, dealing with all the customer service issues including people who are only want to give you a hard time... Hey, a lot of people love doing those things and that's great. We need those kinds of people and I'm deeply thankful for them myself. Or would you rather simply focus on bringing prospects to the table and letting the company do all the "dirty" work for you? This is the choice of an affiliate. The amazing thing about affiliate marketing is that you can often earn a LIONS SHARE of the profit. Yes, many companies are willing to pay you more than they earn themselves for making a sale. For example, there is one affiliate program I do very well with called Empowerism.Through my online TRAFFIC GENERATING STRATEGIES I send hundreds of people to that website every day and a bunch of them sign up for an Empowerism membership because they see that Empowerism offers a great service for a good price. Empowerism charges $24.95 to become a member and do you know what I get paid when I refer a new member? $20.00. That's an 80% commission! Are you kidding me??? Empowerism does all the hard work ofproviding an great product and all that goes along with that including accepting all kinds of payment, handling all the customer support issues, etc. and they PAY ME as theaffiliate the lion's share of the profits! That's why affiliate marketing (when done intelligently) isthe BEST way to make money online. Sure, most programs on the Internet don't pay anywhere what Empowerism pays (80%), but there are some that do. In fact, that's what thewhole Plug-In Profit Site System is about - connecting you to a handful of proven affiliate programs that pay out MIGHTY commissions. There are THOUSANDS of affiliate programs on the Internet. But the fact is you could put the exact same energy into one program as you do another and earn 100 times more. YOU MUST CHOOSE THE RIGHT PROGRAMS IF YOU ARE GOING TO SUCCEED IN AFFILIATE MARKETING. I've seen so many people fail in this business simplybecause they joined the WRONG program(s). They put their heart and soul into promoting it, but it never produced big profits for them. These people leave the Internet thinking that affiliate marketing is a scam, but the truth is often that they just joined the wrong programs. If they would have put the same energy into another affiliate program (one that actually converts prospects into customer and pays the lion's share of the profits), they would have succeeded. So think about that as you continue your journey of learning about affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing can be the easiest and the best way to make money online because you can get started INSTANTLY (even if you have no products of your own or prior experience) and the company handles all the "dirty" work for you. But affiliate marketing can really only be the easiest and best way to make money online IF you choose the RIGHT programs to promote. I've been doing this since 1999 and have tested out hundreds of the most popular affiliate programs in that time. Whenever you do something long enough, the cream always rises to the top. Out of the hundreds of programs I've tried, there are only 6 that consistently produce the most profits for the least amount of effort for me. Those are the 6 affiliate programs that are part of the Plug-In Profit Site system described here: http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62a&lc=IyCH&mc=f&s=i43D4&y=R&
If you want to avoid joining the WRONG programs and get on the fast-track to affiliate marketing success, I encourage you to check out the Plug-In Profit Site. The Plug-In Profit Site gives you many of the same advantages that have taken me since 1999 to gain - in 24 hours or less. That's a serious shortcut to success.

eMOTIVE: how to access your dream job
by daniel foluwasade
The heart cry of many job seekers today is either there are no (‘good’) jobs around and or that the requirements given by seeming employers are just too much considering the economic and educational inconsistency seen today. This has left many unemployed or worse still under-employed, accepting a job just to keep up with survival.
Are “good jobs really not around again? Is it that the requirements given by employers are not truly feasible? “NO,” says Olusegun Omotosho, an employment consultant and Managing Director of Heartland Consulting. He asserts that, the problem is not lack of employment or the seeming unrealistic requirements by possible employers but that the job seekers are unemployable. Unemployable in the sense that they lack basic skills required to practically tackle problems posed in the work environment. Also, he has come to observe over time that many just while away there free time (due vacation, academic institutions strike actions and public holidays). They could have at best used such time to boost their skill set, professional qualification base and on – job experience either by being directly employed or volunteering. Come to think of it, how could an aspiring employee think his or her university degree ‘paper’ certificate is all there is to getting and keeping a job, a good job for that matter. Another notable problem is that, job applicants tend to look more in the direction of big corporations ignoring the seeming small and growing enterprises. Small firms provides long standing career development opportunities, which is a good buy for many who seek to develop themselves well in their chosen career and possibly launch out to start something of their own someday.

boardNET: the online boardROOM to internet marketing succes!

E-business is fast becoming the standard in business. There are so many benefits involved in running one; speed, unlimited space and relatively low cost. The potential for success has never been greater. Boundaries once thought un-crossed have not only been crossed, they have been erased by the expansion of cyberspace.
In the business world, the exchange (buying and selling) and marketing of goods and services has never seen such brighter days as experienced now through the internet. Target markets (buyers and sellers) are now easily, quickly and cheaply accessed ‘NOW’ with a simple click of the mouse. Services that you will normally expend extra cost on transportation, consultation, communication, et. c. to receive can now be accessed at the comfort of your home or office without moving an inch out of where you are. As such, physically operating enterprises are more or less transacting electronically (e-business), a concept rapidly developing into what is now called ‘virtual corporation.’
Building a Virtual Corporation: Perhaps the biggest impact of the internet has been in the world of business, where the term “global market” has taken a whole new meaning. The ability to connect with nearly all of civilization with a simple click of the mouse has enabled large companies to grow even larger and small companies that would never have otherwise succeeded to flourish. Target markets can be identified, reached and serviced with the same level of professionalism whether a company consists of several thousands employers and twenty levels of management, or a couple of guys working out of a garage – and believe it or not, online consumer giant, Amazon.com, started out as exactly that.
