Jim Rohn's 'Magic of Part Time'
I have been thinking about this a lot recently. Mr. Rohn uses the saying, "I'm working full-time on my job to make a living, and part-time on my business to make a fortune." That's basically where I am now. The day-job pays the bills and lets me keep the doors open, and is fun in its own right. But when I get home from working on my living I go to work on my fortune.
It is difficult to go to work right after coming home from work, but you have to look at it in the long term. If I work hard now, and spend my evenings on wealth-building activities, I will be able to retire at an incredibly-accelerated pace...decades before those who probably work just as many hours on their living as I work on my living and my fortune combined.
The difference is that the time I spend working on my fortune will have exponential benefits compared to the time people spend working on their day-jobs...which pays a salary or wage, and no more.
So, I am looking forward to soon being able to say, 'I make as much part-time from my business as I make full-time on my job. Would you like to hear my story?'
I am anticipating the answer to be a generally-positive one :-)

Part III of Top TEN Resources for Home-based Business Success
8) TrafficSwarm!
This is a fascinating FREE system that brings an absurd amount of traffic to your website through 'viral' marketing. In order to have your site marketed you earn credits, which function kind of like 'Jeffrey Bucks' for Trafficswarm. These credits are free, and there are various ways you can earn them, such as setting Trafficswarm as your home page, using it to view other pages, use their search engine, etc.
This is a must-have for any home business owner.
9) Advanced: Pay-per-click Advertising
Search Engine Optimization is the holy grail, but for most new businesses this can take a while. With pay-per-click advertising, you can be on the front page right away. Pay-per-click (PPC) ads are the ones you see on the right of the screen when you do a Google search.
It is easy to drive targeted traffic to your website with PPC. It is even easier to waste a lot of money on it if you don't know exactly what you are doing. Consult your mentor for training on how to effectively do a PPC campaign for your business. I also recommend doing your own research and reading the how-to guides included with most PPC providers. Here are the PPC services that I personally use:
- Goclick
- Yahoo Search Marketing
- Google Adwords
10) Advanced: Veretekk
Veretekk is a powerful lead generation tool. There ares no better prospects than what you get with Veretekk. Inviting these leads to join your business will surely do good things.
Veretekk lets you download free leads, blast your advertisement across multiple search engines, and creates 'Ad Portals', which it would take a looong time for me to explain. You'll have to see it for yourself.
There are educational training classes privileged only to subscribers (by some of the top networkers in this industry). IF your serious about marketing and home business, then this is a tool you should not miss.
And we are done! I hope that this Top Ten listing has been helpful to you. If you have any questions about any of these resources, or home business in general, feel free to shoot me an email. Good luck with your businesses!!
Kind regards,

Top Five Resources for Home-based Business Success
Top Five Resources for Home-based Business Success.
1) First, having a great home business that is automated, has a spectacular sales presentation, and pays out high commissions. Passport to Wealth is a GREAT example Take a look at their amazing presentation!
2) For any home business you will need leads. At first it is difficult to generate your own, so I recommend partnering with a marketing agency that can get leads FOR you. My personal favorite sources of leads are:
a) MLM Lead Genie High quality leads, best price I've foundb) FIS Marketing They actually run a unique ad campaign tailored for your business, AND teach you how to convert the leads into sales!
3) An upline/mentor team that is going to really teach you how to generate wealth with this business. A good mentor will help you earn massive profits. A bad one will take your money and leave. Make sure you do your research so that you can tell the difference.
I am lucky to be part of the Mentors4u team, under the guidance of Megan Vallaincourt and Stephanie Sammour. These two are great teachers; they are both warm and caring and take the time to walk you through building your business step by step.
4) A Blog! Yes, business-blogging is taking the internet by storm and can get you moved up in the search engine rankings faster than almost any other method. You can get your free blog at http://www.blogger.com/. Your mentor will teach you how to use it to earn money online!
5) Craigslist Craigslist is a great way to get free advertisements out there in every major city. http://www.craigslist.org/ It is free to sign up and you can post many different ads (your mentor will teach you how to do this properly and supply you with some pre-made ads you can use)
Here is an example of a Craigslist ad.
This was going to be a 'Top Ten' List but I ran out of time...I will write later with 5 more resources for the home-based entrepeneur!
