Have you been offered a home based job on Twitter?  If so, you might want to think again… The Better Business Bureau has just posted a new job scheme alert about a growing scam based about an opportunity based around posting on Twitter. Apparently many sites are offering “easy money” using your twitter account, with some offering 7-day free trials for the “job information” then hammering your credit card once the 7 days are up

Offered Twitter-based Work?

Working and living in the same space can be difficult, it can sometimes appear that you are always “at work”.  Whilst there are certain benefits of working from home, there are also as many drawbacks. I love working from home, I love the flexibility of being able to spend time cooking in the kitchen with a laptop on the dining table, tweeting, stirring, blogging and chopping!  However there are definately times when the work part of the work life balance spills over into my private life when I wish it wouldn’t.  To counter this, I also have a workspace setup in the corner of my bedroom with a PC and a phone.  Not an ideal solution but better than constantly working from my dining table.  The most ideal solution could be a seperate room where I could close the door and work with some peace (I have 3 children), however some may argue that this would defeat the object of working from home.  The most important thing to my mind is to create the perfect work life balance and this is where setting aside a perfect workspace for you is important. Notice that I said setting aside a perfect workspace for you , what works for me may not work for you.  As I have said, sometimes working from my kitchen table is the perfect solution for me, whilst other times I need to shut myself away in my bedroom office to get a bit of quiet time.  But what is apparent is that to effectively work from home you need to designate a workspace.  It need not be the most regal of offices, but simply somewhere to switch off from home life and focus on the work life

Why you need a Workspace

Article Marketing is one of the best free effective methods you can use to promote your website and all your marketing campaigns. If you’ve gone through my blog archives, you would have noticed that I don’t have many posts on article marketing . That’s not to say I don’t believe in it or know how essential it is for getting backlinks and free traffic to your website or blog

When starting a new venture it can be difficult to keep track of the 1,001 things that need doing.  If you’re anything like me then you probably make lists on pieces of paper, or even in a notebook.  However this method of organisation is inherently flawed.  It is, in my opinion, the best method of generating ideas as a kind of brainstorm, whereby the best ideas can be easily highlighted and the worst scribbled out!  But pieces of paper and notebooks can easily become lost or damaged or even left behind at a critical time.  So ideas ideally need transferring to a more flexible medium, enter my latest favourite tool, Ta-da Lists . By it’s own admission Ta-da lists is the easiest to-do list tool available online.  It’s free to sign-up and only takes 10 seconds to get going.  You can create multiple lists for anything you need (see a selection of random lists ) and once you complete an item you simply ‘tick’ it off! Sharing lists amongst friends and colleagues is also as easy a 1-2-3.  And accessing the list from anywhere is also just as easy with a wide range of browser support.  With a free and simple sign-up process it makes sense to take a look.  What have you got to loose?

Keeping on Top of Your Tasks

OK, I bet the post title grabbed your attention.  And now I have your attention I’ll explain how just 2 minutes of my time netted more sales than a £250 targetted Google Adsense campaign. I’ve been a member of Facebook for a while now and have amased the completely average total of around 250 friends.  Not bad for a 30-something guy, but not great either.  But these 250 (real-life) friends helped me achieve something that all of my online marketing nouse couldn’t…  Allow me to explain.

Great topic to post about when the last post was a lifetime ago! But that is exactly my point…  Why has it been so long since my last post?  Because my motivation for blogging was non-existent.  It came second place to everything else going on in my life.  I can honestly say that everthing else was more important than this blog – it must have been otherwise I would have posted more often. In my last blog post I stated that I was working on a series of posts.  This was totally true and they are still partially completed and saved here as drafts to remind me of what I should have done! Thinking about why this became a big blog FAIL for me, I realise that these “series of posts” was too big a milestone for a baby blog like this (and a newb blogger like me) – I was trying to be too formal in my approach to writing and this simply didn’t suit me – so I just buried my head in the sand and just wrote it off as another failed project.  I also work full-time and have three wonderful children so making the time for blogging appeared difficult and the income from my day job removed some of the urgency from my goal of working from home for myself
