SBGEN Blog by YEisHere! S-B Global Enterprise Network: Motivating, Assisting & Facilitating Entrepreneurial and Economic Self-Sufficiency

It’s that time of year: shorter days, longer evenings/nights, parties and Halloween! And while I’ve long since retired from the Halloween overnight parties that I hosted for my 2 young children, there’s something about the ability to dawn an alternate persona via a costume that has called me to muse upon my current stage of life!

Everywhere I go signs of the pending masquerade that Halloween brings demands my attention — well in fact the decorations, packages of candy and pumpkins demand EVERYONE’S attention! This is definitely a time to do some online shopping for those wanting to avoid crowds and the pawned over costumes in stores! Thinking about my internet ventures and offerings for others wishing to be successful in eCommerce, I decided to visit one such eCommerce site, that provided Halloween Costumes!

As I looked over the offerings, I was amazed at how many Star Wars costumes were offered — for some reason I thought Star Wars was old news and some other blockbuster film or film series would dominate. . . Browsing thru page after page of ‘new age’ costumes, nothing quite fit my current life style or alternate ego! For some reason, I began thinking about a doctor’s costume, as my Holistic Health training certainly does position me to hear quite a few ‘maladies’ from those that I meet and know! I didn’t see any medical themed costumes, most likely because I didn’t search far enough  as I came upon a costume that actually sparked both childhood memories AND parallel images of my current attitude!

According to Wikipedia, the “Roaring 20s’ was an expansive cultural era for women: Jazz, bobbed haircuts, short skirts/dresses and a distinct departure from ‘acceptable’ social behavior! I REMEMBER seeing movies on TV, as a child, that glorified the 20s! Doing the ‘Charleston’ and the other dances the 20s were famous for was a joyous and invigorating exercise in fantasy! The women portrayed in those films were ‘cool’ and definitely in control of their lives as they embraced the times with flourish and passion!

Today is a ‘roaring’ era in our history! The internet boasts a $3 trillion dollar commerce flow; personal blogs earn anywhere from $100s to $40,000 per month and ANYONE can monetize their website and make a very decent living! The excitement of eCommerce is intoxicating and the oppurtunites boundless — just like the promise of continued womens empowerment presented during the ‘roaring 20s!’

Take a stroll and look at some Halloween Costumes! See what your current ‘fantasies’ translate into costume/theme wise! I utterly enjoyed seeing what is popular these days as compared to what I remember seeing when my children were young or even when I was a child!

After your tour of ‘imagery’ lane, give some creative thought to “presenting the REAL You!” Then throw on your cape and take on the world!

I’ve always been independent minded. First born of 4 children and with a single mom, I had quite a bit of reponsibility for helping out at an early age. Responsiblity is no stranger to me, neither is being compensated for a job well done — my mother made sure she gave me an allowance out of her meager earnings long before I was 10 years old! Naturally, by the time I went to high school [at the age of 14] wanting to wear the latest trend [girls were now allowed to wear pants!] motivated me to earn ‘extra’ money above my allowance — which had increased substantially. So I took a summer job babysitting my music teacher’s only child — a great job for a very wonderful family!

No stranger to ‘getting a job’ it seemed I possessed some type of magic during lean times, layoffs and down sizings. When not working a ‘9-to-5′ I had some type of ‘hustle’ to earn legitimate income, however, I never considered myself as being ’self-employed’ or even ‘my own boss’ material. For decades I watched friends with businesses and/or full time paying ‘hustles’ [band members, pro-am sports atheletes, 'gamers,' etc.] and thought they possessed some magic that caused them to believe in their abilities to generate the income required to support themselves in their chosen lifestyles. I remember wondering what was it about them that made them so self-assured and capable, especially since I only had short ’stints’ of supporting myself and young family while taking a six-month to 1-year break from ‘working.’

Through the years and the varied corporations/fields that I’ve worked in, I began realizing that I was as smart and capable as all my co-workers and the majority of my supervisers. Still augmenting my income with side-jobs of my own design, I longed to ‘be my own boss’ one day. I truly wanted to know the formula or ingredient that it took to be successful in business.

In 2006 I took my savings, quit my ‘job’ and moved cross country with the intent to begin a new career as an independent tax preparer. It was a good idea in the wrong market and I didn’t make the amount of money that I wanted, although I made some invaluable contacts in the process. Yet, that illusive ‘it’ that others in the parent company had that were making substantial earnings appeared to be a deficit within me.

With 2008 winding down and amid national economic chaos, I’ve had the opportunity to realize I’ve always been an entrepreneur! Choosing the ways that I would make ‘extra’ cash; working in areas that afforded me mobility, high earnings and great hours along with the courage and determination to switch jobs/fields and move into newly developed arenas [website administration, etc.]  are all the qualities it takes to be self-employed.

The internet and the information age, combined with global access, creates infinite income possibilities and opportunities for EVERYONE that is able to recognize the Entrepreneur within. Take some time and assess your work ethic, skills, experience, motivation and determination levels. Have you ever been told you are the best at anything you enjoy doing? Has anyone ever requested you to bring a winning recipe to a gathering or event? Do you have a passion that demands you perfect your command of it? If so, you possess exactly what it takes to get started in business for yourself!

Aside from writing, I’m still possessed of the ‘first born’ passion: looking at ways to get things done correctly and quickly; looking out for and helping those ‘coming up behind me’ and knowing that I am up to the challenge of being responsible/trust worthy in the process. When I say that ANYBODY can make a living and/or earn cash via the internet doing only what they WANT to do, you can certainly believe me — I’m real good at ‘walking the walk’ that I talk!

Being in business entails not only providing a good, service or product it also entails bookkeeping, in some cases inventory management, shipping and handling and the ever necessary/ongoing need for effective marketing. For the most part, my expertise lies with eCommerce or eBusiness and conducting business/communications online. That being said let’s focus on RSS as an effective and useful marketing tool for both business and sheer communication purposes.

What it is:

RSS, also known as Really Simple Syndication, is a Web feed format that ‘broadcasts’ frequently updated websites. These can be blogs, newsletters, articles, photo galleries and even ‘daily specials!’ In really simple syntax, RSS is a method of sharing your updated content from your website throughout the entire internet population.

Usefulness:

RSS provides an extremely useful benefit of automatically alerting your current readers/customers along with the search engines [where new readers/customers, etc. are looking for you] of all new, aka fresh, material that you have to offer.

While blogging in it’s purest form requires submitting posts to distribution services, utilizing RSS makes this simpler while it increases your search engine rankings. In the world of pro-blogging and blogging in general if you want your material to reach a larger audience, search engine rankings are high priority. WebPreneurs will find RSS mandatory for marketing goods, services or products to create and maintain high search engine rankings: high rankings can guarantee a steady stream of potential customers to your site as well as keep satisfied customers abreast of new developments with your business!

How to implement:

Many of the best website development software products come with an RSS feed ‘burner’ option built in! You simply build your site, click on the ‘add RSS feed’ option and the code is generated allowing your uploaded site to go ‘live’ right from the server! If you are a blogger and are using any of the more popular blogging platforms/software such as WordPress, Blogger, b2Evolution, and TypePad to name a few, they already have the RSS feed option built in. Additionally, WordPress and b2Evolution can be used on your own server, i.e., as your website software with the RSS feature and many more useful marketing options.

There are also ‘feed burner’ services that you provide your ‘url’ to which then supplies you with a code to past to your site/page that you want to be syndicated. They also ‘list’ your ‘url’ info in their ‘lineup’ of feed subscribers. Some useful free services include RapidFeeds, FeedBurner and FeedForAll.

For those of you that are ‘do-it-yourselfer’ there is XML code that can be inserted into your site’s pages that you want syndicated. A good site to get the code from is, About.com and there are countless others to be found with a simple search.

Including RSS to your online presence whether it be your business website, blog, Digg, MySpace or other outlet will promote you automatically in ways that mimic the world war II newsreel that preceded the feature presentation at the movies! It’s nearly as effective as having a radio or TV ad without the cost! In a nutshell, its Syndication Simple and Real!

Being Self Employed – How To Set-up a Business Website

Steps 7, 8, 9 and 10

Continuing with the step by step process for setting up a business website [for the purpose of both advertising your business AND doing business online] the following details require your creativity ‘cap’ is sitting squarely atop your head! In brief summary of what you’ve accomplished thus far, your preparations included: selecting a domain name and web host with a control panel that you’re comfortable with [learning if you haven't began 'administrating' your site yet]; choosing the site layout along with the design software [unless you've previewed the hosts complementary design software and are comfortable with it] and lastly you’ve made the purchase of both the domain and site hosting [preferably in one package]. With all of these matters behind you and squared away let’s proceed to the final aspects of setting up your business website!

7. Utilizing your word processing software create some verbiage for your first page. That includes the ‘about us,’ ‘our services’ or ‘our products, ‘contact’ information and a thank you note for visitors that sign up for your mailing list and/or sign your guest book. In the beginning it’s a good idea to draft anything that you plan to publish on your site in a word processor or even text editor so that you can gather your thoughts, allow your creativity to flow and make as many changes as necessary before opening your site design software or control panel! Generally, most computer/laptop users are familiar with either Word, OpenOffice or WordPerfect and this bit of familiarity can certainly work in your favor for draft purposes! Web sites are to be updated and perfected frequently and after 2 or 3 revisions in your site design software there won’t be a need to do your drafts outside of the software: all changes, additions and tweaks can be made and saved in the design software without being published to the web.

8. In order to publish your site from your desktop site editing software you’ll need an ‘ftp’ [file transfer protocol] client. Most ‘Basic’ grade software comes with a pre-installed ftp feature and following the instructions for entering your server information [provided to you by your hosting company], password and site file location [referred to normally as a directory within the 'root(domain name)/public_html/directory(site file)'. This may appear complicated for the absolute beginner but trust me, it isn't complicated at all! Just a matter of following the steps provided in the software documentation or guide/user manual [with this 'Being Self-Employed' information open in a window next to it] and the bulk of the uploading is automatic. If using the site builder software provided by your hosting company, launching your site consists of accessing the software, adding your information [cut and paste from your draft at first] and clicking on the ‘publish’ button!

9. Preview your newly published site and make note of where you want to place your ’shopping cart’ or payment preference information. Most hosting companies provide eCommerce options at no additional charge for up to 15+/- items and many site design software programs offer an eCommerce tool. There are also some free eCommerce options available which you can upload to your server and link your ‘market’ page to. Two popular programs are OSCommerce and ShopScript Free. Once you’ve chosen your ’shopping cart’ software, configure it with the products or services that you will be offering thru your website. Keep in mind that it’s fine to star out with one or two items, as you will have plenty of time and site space to extend your offerings at a later date.

10. The last and final step is actually comprised of two steps:

    1. Give thought to ‘monetizing’ your site by providing ad space to the major internet advertising promoters such as Google AdSense and LinkShare.

    2. Give thought to promoting your site in as many ways as possible: link and banner exchange programs; online forums and blog community announcements; pay per click and other marketing methods; email and electronic press releases are just some of the avenues you will want to take advantage of to draw traffic to our site.

Incorporating these ‘Being Self Employed: How to Set-up a Business Website’ tips and suggestions into your website creation and set-up with all of the other sound research that you have done will provide you with one option: success! Keep in mind that while your business may be ‘online’ and in ‘cyberspace’ the work involved and results netted will be ‘real world’ and therefor require real world expectations and effort.

Unless you’re selling the only known autographed copy of Ben Franklin’s 3^rd grade performance summary don’t expect to make zillions of dollars over night! Although with consistent promotional efforts, useful and/or unique products and services and the willingness to compete with others [as we do in every other aspect of life] you can make a very good living via an internet business website.

In the US alone, home-based business is a $427 billion dollar industry! Of that staggering generated income amount, $5000+/- per month or approximately $4.2 billion is generated via paid advertising on monetized websites for home based and small businesses.

With ever expanding IT or internet technology advances, the financial services industry [bankers, capital investors, etc.] are partnering with IT in order to seek out, fund and sponsor the present and newly forming high profile online small and home based businesses! Thus the internet’s streamlined automation creates a highly competitive, extremely lucrative entrepreneur sales channel.

Many individuals seeking to establish an online presence and/or seeking to promote their online business are benefiting from networking coalitions or collaborations via forums, newsgroups and portals. Sur-Bet Global Enterprise Network [SBGEN] serves as a small business information, consulting, networking and advertising portal.

Advertising spending has increased dramatically in recent years. In 2006, spending on advertising has been estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide, with the latter to exceed $500 billion by 2010. SBGEN offers FREE business listings to the first 100 home based and small businesses that sign up for membership. Members also have access to the Global Business Community Forum [GBC Forum] for networking, training, information and general observation sharing.

For entrepreneurs seeking webinars, teleconferences and on-site trainings or events there is an ‘Events‘ section that lists FREE traditional sources and accepts listings from the general public that offers FREE services to member start-ups and businesses.

SBGEN also provides listings of Affiliate Marketing and Passive Income Generation Programs for those seeking entry level guidance and information to internet e Commerce.

Recognizing that not all site visitors are entrepreneurs, SBGEN also hosts a “Fantastic Products Showcase” that offers discounts and/or low prices for more than 1,500,000 different products in all categorizes.

The website is atypical presenting a colorful, warm, quiet and inviting format lacking in many high profile profit-by-visitor sites seeking to amass thousands of visitors without thought for basic customer service human contact protocols.

SBGEN founder YEisHere is available for interview. She appears frequently on local/national internet radio and entrepreneur portals. You can arrange an interview or obtain additional further information by calling Margo Mausz @ 386-754-6868.
