If you are self employed and one of the lucky ones who are making money from home on your own then congratulations. But when it comes to filing taxes are you getting the tax breaks that you deserve? If not, then you are losing hundreds or even thousands of dollars to the government. Happy with that?
I mean if you think that the government needs the money more than you do then by all means keep losing your tax deductions. There is always another company that is in need of being bailed out that can use your money. And we all know that many states are running out of money. I sure they would be more than happy to keep your money. Don't think that after filing taxes the IRS is going to send you a letter telling you that you missed out on some deductions. Old uncle Sam will just take your money or give you your small return then laugh all the way to the bank with your money. While you go on not having a clue about all the tax breaks that you could have gotten.
So how to you go about finding all the tax deductions that you are entitled to? That is simple. You need a book that is solely for self employed people only. Sorry, if you are employed by someone then this book is of no use to you. It's called Tax Deduction Toolkit and it it chopped with all kinds of deductions that you may not have thought of. If you would like to see more about what the book as to offer then see it hear at: Tax advice
This is your government bail out. Letting the IRS keep your money is cutting in to your profits. Who knows how much you could have made last year if you got all of your deductions. Help keep you profits up because the government is not going to bail you out if your business goes south. You have to own a major company in order to get that kind of help.
So go check it out and see what you think!

Work from home scams or gimmicks? Which is Which?
I bet you have seen all kinds of Work from home jobs across the internet.
You will see both scams and gimmicks. Now I sure you know that "scams" and gimmicks" are two different things legally but when you are searching for the right business you want to know what you are getting. So let us see what the differences are.
If you really want to find out then you first must define what a work from home scam and what is a work from home gimmick is.
Work form home Scams
An online job that promises that you will make big money from home by doing simply tasks. Then make up excuses about why you can not get paid after the work is done. Finally there is no way to get your money back.
Work from home Gimmicks
The problem with gimmicks is they can be a real job but you will not get what you expected. This gimmick involves something like them telling you to pay for a simple way to make money. But when you pay, you find out that they tell you to take the same ad with your new url and then advertise it to someone else for profit.
To make money in a work from home job, you need to avoid both the scams and the gimmicks. You will just end up chasing every fad idea that you come across.
Now, if you are serious about having a work from home job then you need something that haves some longevity to it. A real work from home job should pay you not you pay them.
Lets go over some rules about how a real work from home job should be.
1. The job should have something to sell other than itself. You do not want a product that tells you to turn around and sell the same work from home product to someone else. This is an example of a gimmick.
2. Do not bother with multi level marketing jobs. People who make money on these gimmicks are the people who create them. These jobs are all about creating a pyramid scheme where you get someone to join in under you then you get a percentage of who they bring in.
3. Make sure your work from home job has been around for a while. Do your research first to find out who has worked for them and how it went.
4. Find a work from home job that you understand. They make it sound simple at first but once you sign up, you end up lost and confused.
5. Check the customer support before you opt in. If they respond quickly and with good information you may have picked a winner.
6. Plan on going some real work. If they tell you your work at home job will be to just push a few buttons and get paid big bucks then you know it's a scam.
Now that you have a few guidelines, use them when you start to search for your work from home job. Whether scams or gimmicks, try to eliminate both from your search.

Seo Training Optimization Tips for 2009
Have you heard the news? Google will be changing the way the search engines work in 2009. What does this mean for SEO optimization. Google is leaning to more personalization of their search results. That means your page rank will not mean a thing any more or so they say. So if you want to know the SEO tips that you may need to save your niche website then read on.
Your SEO training is all about finding out how Google will post results for keyword searches. Sometime in 2009, when someone types in a keyword phrase your results will be based on your previous search history. Google will have tools that read your cookies and your that are stored and customize it results based on that and your IP address. So if some types in the same keyword phase somewhere else, your results will be different from the other persons. That means if your website was first on one persons search results you could not show up at all on the other persons search results. Your SEO optimization will become a little more challenging.
SEO tips will also involve universal search variables to gauge the use of videos on your website. It's obviously becoming clear that video will one day take over the web. Written content will no longer be considered king any more and your website may have to adapt to it. Google tools will be scanning websites from all over the webs looking for video feeds to convert to text. SEO training will more likely to include the use of video to your website or you may not make it to the front page. That could penalize a lot of good websites that offer lots of well written and useful content. To me that's not fair! I don't want to see a Weak video offering useless information being ahead of a very good written content based website. Hopefully Google will look at quality versus flashy.
If your SEO optimization was all about getting a high page rank then you may have to change your strategy a bit. Ranking high could be dead and search engines will care more about traffic results and bounced rates. High a large amount of links or even high quality links to your website may not help as much any more. But I wouldn't stop getting those links if I were you. You are going to need all the unique website traffic you can get to keep your site high on search results.
One good benefit that will come from all of this is bringing down all those spam websites that offer no content. All they do is fill their pages with a bunch of links and banners leading to another website. Those websites will get slapped heavily. This should lead to finding more quality websites and less spam sites.
Now you have seen the future of SEO optimization. Use these SEO tips wisely. Google is once again making changes and your SEO training will be put to the test. You may not be effected much by the changes but if you are you will know what changes you need to get back on top of the search engine results.

With job losses taking place by the day he decided that he better have a second income just to be on the safe side.

Free Advertising Websites, Will They Help or Hurt?
It's always tempting to want to start with free advertising when you first get your website finished. But is that really what you want to do? Yo might want to think about who is seeing your ad before you start.
I know that you don't have alot of money and you hope to start with free advertising websites in hopes to gain a few sales and then use the money to get paid ads. What people do not understand is that when you use these type of sites you are not selling to buyers, you are selling to sellers. Everybody who comes to these kinds of sites are trying to sell something. They do not want your product because they are trying to sell their own. Your product needs to be in an area of buyers not sellers.
See what will happen is with most of these sites your email address will be exposed and others will grab it and start telling you how much they love your product and offer you to join their site. Problem is they are not going to buy it, they are simply trying to get you to join so they can get a commission. They will also sell your email address and you will find yourself getting loads of junk mail.
You have to understand that when someone is looking to buy something they would never go to a free advertising website to find it. Think about when you were looking for something on the web, where did you look? I bet you typed it in on the search engines to see what websites popped up. You probably went to places like Amazon, Craigslist or Ebay to find it. That's where your ad needs to be.
Having your website in places people look to buy something is the only way to advertise your product or service. You don't want to waste time trying to save money on advertising in places that are selling. If you want free advertising then use video site like Youtube and all the other video sites. Also try trading links with other sites to get traffic from their sites. You can also get free press releases to let people know about your website. Also sign up for forums that talk about your type of product or service and make some friends. You might be able to solve a problem that they were having.
Just remember, make sure your ad is where people are searching to buy. Free ad sites are only good for practising your ad writing skills. don't expect to make any sales from them.

E-Commerce Website, They Needs Help
It's not hard to find an e-commerce website on the web but what is hard is to get the customer service you deserve. Everything seems to be automatic now. What happened to the human touch?
What is e-commerce you ask? Simple, it's the buying and selling of products and services over the internet and other computer networks. There are some advantages of e-commerce websites like having everything at your finger tips. But, is it better to buy from these sites or go to the store to get it. If you are a big fan of customer service then you may be better off going to the store.
One day I saw a product that I was interested in but I wanted more info. So I used the website contact page and I got a responds from an auto responder. That didn't bother me. What made me mad was that after several days I never heard back form them. So I emailed them a second time and got the same auto response and that it. Now I decided that I wasn't going to buy from them and I moved on to another website.
They lost my business for good.
Hoping things would be better with the next website I tried a competitors website but ended up with the same problem over and over again. It seems like they work hard on getting traffic to their site but all they are interested in is selling the product or service and not helping the visitors. They just sit back and let the e-commerce software do all the work for them. Why!
See, the e-commerce solution is so simple. Just answer your contact emails. That's it. When I finally found a website that would email me back I was pleased with there response and friendly service so I bought the product from them.

What is e-commerce you ask? Simple, it's the buying and selling of products and services over the internet and other computer networks. There are some advantages of e-commerce websites like having everything at your finger tips. But, is it better to buy from these sites or go to the store to get it. If you are a big fan of customer service then you may be better off going to the store.
One day I saw a product that I was interested in but I wanted more info. So I used the website contact page and I got a responds from an auto responder. That didn't bother me. What made me mad was that after several days I never heard back form them. So I emailed them a second time and got the same auto response and that it. Now I decided that I wasn't going to buy from them and I moved on to another website.
They lost my business for good.
Hoping things would be better with the next website I tried a competitors website but ended up with the same problem over and over again. It seems like they work hard on getting traffic to their site but all they are interested in is selling the product or service and not helping the visitors. They just sit back and let the e-commerce software do all the work for them. Why!
See, the e-commerce solution is so simple. Just answer your contact emails. That's it. When I finally found a website that would email me back I was pleased with there response and friendly service so I bought the product from them. It makes a big difference when you don't ignore your visitors and treat your visitors with respect.
By engaging your visitors this delivers confidence and trust to your potential customer.

Affiliate Marketing Programs can change your life
Affiliate marketing is everywhere on the web and it seems like
everybody is making money, but are they really?
The way affiliate marketing works is that you get a code that lets
you use their sells website and when someone buys through your link
you get a percent of the sale. Sometimes as much as 75%. This can
be a good way to gain a second income or even replace you income all
together. To make it work you need to know what you are doing.
One of the fastest was to make money from home is to become an
affiliate and sell someone elses product. Most affiliate programs
are free to join but you may go broke trying to advertise the
product. Before you spend a dime on ads you should do your research
on the product first to make sure you are not pushing some scam.
Make sure that the product delivers what it promises. You may need
to try it yourself before you start advertising it. You don't
want to promote alot of hype with not real product to support
it. You can also check blogs and forms to see if other members
have used the product and see what they say about it.
Watch out for affiliate programs that want you to pay to promote their product because if they have a real product that works it will sell itself without you having to pay anything up front.
Stay away from MLM(Multi Level Marketing) programs because they offer
no product to sell. Its all about getting the next person to sign up
and paying to join and then the next. This system is just a pyramid
scheme and you will not see any money from this.
Also avoid music and movie download products because most of them
are illegal and you may get banned for using them.
Use a landing page to promote your product if you thing that the sells
pitch is not good enough. This is also good for gathering email
addresses so you can promote other products to that customer later.
Practice your ad writing skills before you start promoting. Your ad
can deliver an emotional responds that drives a person to click your
ad or answer a question that they have been looking for. Let your
customers know what benefits the product has to offer.
If you don't see any sells from your ad then you need to reevaluate
your ad or select a different product to promote. It's a good ideal
to see what type of products are hot right now and promote it first
before you try to sell a product that no one has heard of.
In summary, learn all you can first before you get started. Only a
small amount of people make big money doing this so don't give up.
Just make sure you don't jump in without to proper knowledge first.

Niche Market Research will Save your Website
You have a website, but is it a niche market website? If you are not sure what
a niche market website is then listen up.
If your website is about trucks, for example, then that would not be a
niche. A niche would have to go deeper than that. If you sell fuel
saving devices for trucks then that would qualify as a niche. See, a
niche is more specific. It tackles a single problem or product that
a customer may be looking for. If someone is in need to save fuel on
their truck then your website is more likely to come up in search
engines results than if your site was just simply about trucks.
So if you like a particular subject then decide what part of it you
are going to go for first. Look for something that is hot right now
and then build a website around it. I just saw that a new website
that is like youtube but it was for pets and their owners. This
person obviously realized that pets is hugh right now and anything
with a pet will get people to sign up and that's the kind or niche
market research that can set your website apart from everybody elses.
So sign up for blogs and forums and see what is being talked about
the most in that subject. If you find a particular part is being
talked about the most then build your website around that part.
Then all you have to do is let other in the blogs and forms know
that you have a website that goes into detail about that certain
subject.
When you decide on what niche you want to build a website on then
use a keyword tool like Google keyword or wordtracker to see how
many time people are looking up that word for phrase. You may find
that those keywords get looked up alot with only a few hundred
thousand sites and pages using it. So if you build your niche website
around those keywords with plenty of fresh content and backlinks then
you have a shot at getting your website on page one giving you free
traffic.
From their its all about finding good products and services needed
to satisfy your customers. Try to find products that is targeted to
your specific niche only. Don't just have random products to sell
or you will lose alot of credability from your customers. Your
product should solve a problem or answer a question that they need
an answer to. If you do this then your site will become viral and
you customers will tell the people on their blogs and forums where
they got it from and send more customers your way.
By doing this you will dominate that niche and from there you can
branch off and create other websites that solve other problems in
that field and with having a good reputation people will jump to
buy from you again.
So just remember to build a website around a particular niche in
that subject then research it and market it to those customers
that is looking for that niche and you can find your success
sooner than you thing.

Backlinks Are Good Enough to Scam for
As we all know, if you want to get free traffic to your
website you are going to need good quality backlinks.
As with everything else, there is a right way and a wrong
way to get them. So here are some tips that can help you
avoid being scammed on backlinks.
Con artist have developed some very sneaky way of getting
one way links to there site. For example, some will see
your email address and offer to trade links with you.
They start by showing you a link that they all ready gave
you on one of there pages praise your site. Then they ask
you if you would be so kind as to give them one in return.
So after seeing how nicely they asked and viewing the
glowing endorsement they gave you about your site you
decide to go ahead and give them a link back to their
site. Now you think everybody is happy and will benefit
from each others links. But will you?
After receiving your link several things can go wrong. One
thing could be that the con artist simply removes your link
creating a one way backlink for themselves. Another thing
could be that you never had a link at all from their website.
They simply created a separate page outside of their real
website so if you keep checking back you will see something
but if you check their website from the home page and search
each page your link is never found.
This can happen to anybody some make sure before you trade
links with someone that your link it can be found from the
home page and not just directly from that page they sent you.
also check back frequently to make sure that your link hasn't
been removed.
Another way they can rip off a link from you is to set up a
fake directory. They tell you that you can submit your site
to our directory for free backlinks and all you have to do is give us
a reciprocal link back to our site and you name and email
address. So you follow the steps they laid out for you to
submit your site and give them the information that they
ask for. Now you site back and hope that their directory
can bring you some traffic.
Guest what, that right no traffic. Why you ask, because
their directory is not real in the sense that no one is using
it except for the people who are submitting to it. But thanks
to your link that you gave them more people are submitting
to them and giving them links. Oh, by the way, remember
seeing that little message that says "We hate spam and your
email address will never be sold or give away by us" under
where you gave your email address? Well I hate to tell you
this but your email address will get sold and you will start
noticing a high amount of spam in your account.
So how do you know which directory to use? Simple, it all
about learning how do your research first. If you want to
submit to directories then start with the ones you trust
like Google or yahoo. After that, search on the web and
submit to the top directories found. If you start seeing
ads for directories that you never heard of and you still
what to submit to them then set up a separate email just
for thoughs directories and you won't have to deal with
the potential spam on your main email address. If you
can see which one is sending spam just remove the link
from your site.
Well that all for now. I hope this information has helped
you recognized a good link from a bad one. I hope that
you understand that you don't have to resort to dirty
tricks to get links to your site. Just be honest and
trustworthy and you will get the links needed to make your
site succeed.
