2 new sites and more

New sites
This week I have had a lot of work to finish, but I have managed to work with some new smaller projects anyway. These are the sites that were launched today:

www.50affiliates.com 

www.500bloggers.com

Both sites got a great start, and I managed to sell some words/links instantly.
I will do some more work on these sites, and I have ordered logos for both that should arrive by Friday.
So, do not sit and wait. Get your word/link now!!

Up-coming project
In a previous post I told you about a new site with the topic motivation, I have worked some on it and are currently looking for a good mailinglist software. So if anyone have some software to recommend, please send me an e.mail or comment here.

The domain for this project will be: www.inboxmotivation.com (this name because you get the motivational articles directly in your mail inbox)
This site should be online any day now.

Dns problems
The last 2 days I have had problems with dns for new domains I bought, it is now solved but it has slowed me down a little on getting new stuff going.
I do not know what was wrong but both my server host and the domain registrar looked in to it.

Well, now I am on my way again.
 

I am in to: Motivation for entrepreneurs

I have not thought about it much in the past, but I am really interested in writing and talking about motivation for entrepreneurs.

Because of this I have now decided to dedicate some time and money to a project, on the topic “Motivation” with the target group Entrepreneurs.

This will be both a newsletter, a meeting place, and  a place where I share my thoughts.

I have found a good domain for it, and the site should be online in a couple of days.

I am now one of the writers on BloggerSkills.com

The other day I got contacted by Rex Bowden, an he asked me if I was willing to become on of the writers on his new site www.bloggerskills.com, and of course I said yes.

BloggerSkills.com is an article blog where Entrepreneurs and webmasters post news, articles and thoughts, to share with others.

I have published my first article there now, and you can read it at:

Motivation for Entrepreneurs

New Business Credit Cards 

All business owners have their own share of highs and lows in their lives. They beam with pride or happiness one day when target sales are achieved or exceeded, and shake their head in disbelief over some failed business project the next day.  Running a business is a roller-coaster ride that gets you on your toes all the time.  And the way you deal with the challenges that come your way can either make or break your business, if not today but in the long run.Everyone, most entrepreneurs in particular, would love to make their first millions at the soonest time possible.  This is not as easy as it sounds, but people look up to it as something they aspire but never always realize.  Money may not always be the prime motivation for people who go into business, but long-term financial assurance is one of the factors that encourage people to do so.

So when we speak of motivation, one should not limit with the financial aspect of business. There are other factors that must be considered to help you achieve both short-term and long-term goals for your business to turn your business success both into financial and personal wealth.Here are some of the ways.

Strategize.  Everybody needs a plan, more so when you run a business.  It is always good to have some kind of a guide to look back to when the sailing gets rough.  You can draw up a one-year or five-year business plan where you will be setting you goals, how to get to those goals, and the resources you need to achieve them.  Make your business plan work for you by continuous planning, adaptation of your business strategy to the present market, and your present and future needs.

Promote your business.  Motivation is more effective when there is affirmation.  It is true that small to medium businesses do not give so much time, attention, and budget for promotion.  Do not just rely on your loyal customers, get into some PR work or hire the services of a PR if you can afford it.  Be involved in issues concerning the industry your business is in.  Take advantage of the reach of the World Wide Web by promoting your company and/or website and doing email campaigns.  Do not underestimate the benefits of name-recall even if your business has already established a name for itself.  

Give credit where credit is due.  People who help you run your business deserve some motivation also. Give incentives to employees with good performance because experience shows that giving incentive schemes for employees’ performance inspires them to do well, if not best in their work.  Think of different ways on how to reward honest hard work.  Incentive programs for employees serve two purposes: To motivate your employees to work hard and to recognize their invaluable contribution to the company.

Lastly, do not forget that getting into business entails a lot of risks and rewards.  Running your own business is a series of hit-or-miss.  But one thing is for sure – anything and everything is possible and achievable if you nurture the things that motivated you to put up the business.  Let everything and everyone involved in this business be an inspiration for you to perform, if not surpass what you expect to achieve.
