All home businesses strive to get the maximum amount of exposure and traffic to their business, particularly free sources of traffic.The expectation is that a percentage will convert into sales and contribute to profits. The same applies whether it is an online home internet business or any other type of home business. Advertising is the key to success and a profitable enterprise.
One way to generate free traffic is to advertise on one of the numerous classified ad sites on the internet. They are free to join, simple to use and provide a free way of promoting your business or product.
Most allow free ads to be placed subject to limitations which vary from one classified ad site to another. Generally a free ad may be placed for a limited time, say 30 days to 6 months after which time the ad has to be reposted (which is often done at the click of a link) or there may be limits on the number of ads that can be run at the same time.
Ads are generally placed in categories and can be targeted at a particular country or region within a country.You can sometimes add pictures or images and add your profile for publicity purposes. Some like Adland have their own traffic exchanges and forum and most have affiliate programs you can join free to promote the ad services to others and earn a little extra income.
If you want to take your advertising to the next level you can generally buy an upgrade membership for premium services which allow more ads to be placed and additional features to display them to make them more eye catching such as being featured,add additional pictures,hyperlinks or coloured headings etc.
Place your free ads on as many different free ad sites as you can manage.You cant loose anything as they are free. Monitor the stats they provide on number of visitors to your ad and weed out the non performing ads or try changing the ad description to a more eye grabbing one.
Www.1st-opportunity.co.uk uses free classified ads regularly as part of its advertising and marketing plan.Go to this site to see their favorite free classified ad sites and advertising ideas.

TRAFFIC EXCHANGES - A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS?
Home Internet Businesses are often started on a shoestring budget and owners are naturally looking for cost-free ways of promoting their new business. Traffic Exchanges provide an opportunity to advertise in their networks for free on the basis that 'if you look at someones website (ie surf) someone else will look at yours'.Credits are earned by 'surfing' other businesses ads, usually for about 10 seconds or so, which are then used to display your ads.
There are a large number of exchanges on the internet and most are free to join. Most have some form of paid upgrade option which allows members additional credits, bonuses or privileges. Thus if you want to get traffic to your site faster you can upgrade or buy a batch of credits from the special offers they all seem to have.Some have introductory free credits which allow you to get a flying start to your advertising. Some sites offer full screen ads others are more restrictive for example short text header ads unless you upgrade.
My advice is to select 5 or 6 traffic exchanges with plenty of visitors viewing their ads ( most show their stats on their site) and include those offering free promotional introductory credits.
In this way you can try and test each one ,comparing results of your ads, using the free credits before you need to decide whether to upgrade or buy more credits. When you stumble upon a new interesting exchange to try out you can then drop the poorest performer and still keep the number of sites you surf manageable.
In addition to earning credits for surfing other peoples ads you can also earn credits (and sometimes cash) by referring new members and from the surfing of new members.
What strategy are you going to use for traffic exchanges?. You can use them purely as a means of advertising your business by surfing and earning free credits to advertise and/or use them as a business opportunity in themselves by advertising the individual traffic exchanges and gaining commission income and free credits from new members who pay to upgrade. Surfing in itself can be tedious and boring so the latter approach is worth serious consideration.
Whatever strategy you decide if you are going to advertise on traffic exchanges you have to be aware that your ad is likely only to be seen for about 10 seconds on each view. It is essential that your ad stand out from the crowd as an attention grabber and loads rapidly otherwise you will not get your message across. I personally have seen examples when i,ve been surfing when a web page has loaded right at the end of the 10 seconds and by then i am waiting to go to my next ad so don't even read the ad. For this reason you will find that traffic exchange members invariably use preformatted splash pages which load rapidly and give maximum chance of exposure.
New users of traffic exchanges need to be conscious of the way others use exchanges. It is said that most users seem to be frantically surfing ads to gain their credits and they are not really in a buying frame of mind.Maybe something new and exceptional can disturb them from their main purpose but it is recommended that advertisers dont use a strategy on traffic exchanges to direct sell but more use the ads as a way of building their opt in email list which gives further opportunities at a more appropriate time. Therefore most users adopt the strategy of offering something free such as a report for an email address to generate further leads rather than to direct sell. You will notice that businesses who adopt this approach use a variation on a splash page called a squeeze page which includes an email capturing facility.
To conclude traffic exchanges can be fun and interesting ways to start your advertising campaign and they are easy to join and surf. I use them to promote my website and my favourite traffic exchanges are given for you at the end of this blog together with a site which offers you the opportunity to create your own splash and squeeze pages for free from ready made templates.
Good luck with you venture i hope it is a great success.

FISHING HOLIDAY ON EAST COAST OF YORKSHIRE
ANGLERS PARADISE
For the last 2 years we have had a ball holidaying on the east coast of Yorkshire about 4 miles from Bridlington.Based in a static caravan near the cliffs has given us a perfect base to pursue a wide range of activities from golfing,fishing,bird-watching and walking as well as just lazing about sunbathing and reading.The caravan site is an ideal base as it is walking distance from the cliffs,small beaches,local shops and entertainment facilities. A short car ride or local bus from the caravan site leads you to the fabulous resort of Bridlington with its superb beach and shopping centre.Although there are other large caravan parks along this coast you are far enough away from them to feel unique.
For the keen angler there are numerous opportunities nearby. The closest is in Flamborough on the caravan site.There is a well stocked freshwater lake on the site and a few hundred yards there is the cliffs where many anglers are seen perched high, although i have to say for me too high as i would rather remain on safe ground at the lake.Many fishermen go down to the small beach at North Landing and either fish from there or go on one of the boat trips specially laid on there for fishermen.Others prefer to do a bit of sea fishing at the South Landing or 4 miles away at Bridlington from the harbour.
If this appeals to you and you want more information about the site and its facilities you can visit the link at the end of this article. You can even hire a static caravan through this site and experience the pleasures yourself. The British weather of course cannot be guaranteed but if you like this kind of lifestyle you can be guaranteed a great time with plenty to do through the day and evening.
Be warned though you may like it that much you might be tempted to return regularly and even buy your own caravan like we did. Don't worry though there is no one trying to sell you anything
If your fed up with the hassle of foreign holidays,ie long drives to and from airports,long waits for flights i recommend you give this a go.
This area is a fabulous place for a holiday and the locals are very friendly and welcoming.
PS when you catch the lingering smell of bacon and eggs drifting around the neighbours caravans you cant resist joining in.Get up early and enjoy the day.

For the keen golfer there are several courses nearby. The closest is in Flamborough, next to the lighthouse and has holes at the edge of the cliff top. Bridlington Links is nearby and the South Bay golf club is only 4 miles away at Bridlington. If you want to venture a bit further away there is Filey golf club about 11 miles away and Scarborough further down the coast.

TRAFFIC GENERATORS 'THE PROS AND CONS'
TRAFFIC GENERATORS - THE PRO'S AND CONS
Traffic generators or builders are important tools to aid the small internet business start getting some website visitors .Without visitors to view your offers and promotions, no matter how valuable they are, you make NO SALES. And no sales = no business.
In simple terms you have credits to place your advert and these credits are replenished as your ad is clicked which helps sustain your ad.
You enter an add (or several ads) together with a url (ie website ) you wish to promote and the system generates a new unique traffic system url which takes an interested party to your website but records the click and credits you thus earning you more advertising credits to further promote your business.You can run several ads at once and have numerous links on the system.
Your traffic links can be advertised through the traffic generator network and by placing an ad through other online advertising ways such as classified ads, emails,traffic exchanges etc.The end result is that the more ways you advertise your taffic link the more viral traffic credits you will earn to promote your business.
Joining is usually free and often you get a free introductory bonus of credits to get you started plus other freebies (look for unannounced bonuses)
The sites we prefer are well designed, colourful and very easy to use to place an advert or add a link. The traffic links seem to be very reliable and work accurately although it is recommended that you check them regularly.
Sometimes special offers of free credits are made for example if you watch a new video promotion.
You also get credits for referring new members and sometimes there can be financial incentives so this is an affiliate program too and you gain credits from your referrals when they place ads/links.
You must have credits in order to advertise your advert so no credits = no publicity.
You can buy credits or upgrade but obviously there is cost implications so you have to weigh up the benefits vs costs. By upgrading this often gets you additional member bonuses and privileges.
We are not 100% convinced about the effectiveness of advertising through traffic generators as we all become almost immune to seeing ads in front of us. Many of which are never read as you move on to your main purpose on the computer.However eye-catching ones like in most forms of advertising have the best chance of bringing rewards.

WALKING AND BIRD-WATCHING HOLIDAY ON EAST COAST OF YORKSHIRE
For the last 2 years we have had a ball holidaying on the east coast of Yorkshire about 4 miles from Bridlington.Based in a static caravan near the cliffs has given us a perfect base to pursue a wide range of activities from golfing,fishing,bird-watching and walking as well as just lazing about sunbathing and reading.The caravan site is an ideal base as it is walking distance from the cliffs,small beaches,local shops and entertainment facilities.

For the bird -watcher, rambler or casual walker there are numerous opportunities nearby. On the caravan site in Flamborough pied wagtails,magpies and goldfinches are quite numerous and the lake on the nature reserve on site usually has moorhen, coot, swallows ,ducks etc. A short walk to the cliffs and you will see, depending on the season puffins, guillemots, razor bills,kittywakes, herring gulls, fulmars, sky larks, reed buntings and many others.To the left the cliff path leads you about 1.5 miles down to Bempton cliffs which is world famous for the huge gannet colony. See these birds with their immaculate white plummage and yellow heads massed on the rocks and in season all the young at different stages of fledging.Boat trips leave the beach on the North Landing to show visitors the bird colonies from the sea. Walking on the cliffs to the right leads you all the way to Bridlington passing on the way the North and South Landings, the lighthouse, Danes Dyke, and Sewerby and numerous sea birds on the way.Sewerby Hall and Gardens with zoo is a popular days visit and shouldn,t be missed.In addition to the birds, you may also see on your coastal walk, various types of butterfly including painted lady's, small tortoiseshell, meadow browns,red admirals, large and small whites; and 7spot burnet moths, orchids and sea thrift growing on the coastal fringe.
If this appeals to you and you want more information about the site and its facilities you can visit the link at the end of this article.

Three Easy Tips for Work at Home Moms to Create Better Work-Life Balance
Like many work at home moms, chances are you feel like you are always running in circles while juggling more balls than most people can simply carry. This might be an accurate description of your daily schedule, but it doesn’t have to be the pervading feeling in your life. With healthy work-life balance, you can perform a hundred tasks, while taking care of several people, without losing sense of yourself in the mix. Here are a few tips for keeping a healthy work-life balance in the midst of your busy schedule:
1. Remember to take a little time for yourself each day. Whether you are savoring a cup of tea or enjoying a brisk stroll through the neighborhood, a little alone time can help to clear your mind and reset your patience for the next challenge. During this time, you can put away your cares for the day and relax. This might also be a good time to process experiences and learn from the ups and downs of your day.
2. Get plenty of rest every night. The body needs rest to function at its best, and you need a body in peak shape to meet the many demands you face every day. 6-8 hours of quality sleep will help you to concentrate better, remember better, and feel more patient and centered. When a person skimps on sleep, their immune systems suffer and they get sick much more easily.
3. Eat healthy, balanced meals. Too many work at home moms use the kitchen only when they are preparing meals for someone else. Even if your kids are at school and your husband is away at work, you still need to take time to eat something nutritious and tasty to keep your energy level up and your urge to snack in check.
These three tips can help you to create a healthy balance between your personal life and work. Establishing this balance can help you to find greater joy in even the busiest of days.

Making the Internet Business Work for You
The Internet Business Easy Way Out – Making the Industry Work For you
No matter how simple the advertisements for online companies make it sound, starting a new company or owning your own business is a lot of work! Even with years of experience in the internet business, many people still find they have a lot of daily tasks to accomplish to keep their business competitive in this growing industry. For people who have other jobs, multiple companies, or families they also try to care for, the work of an online company can tip the scams unfavorably in their life. The good news for anyone in this industry is that help is available!
As this industry has grown so rapidly, the need for secondary industries to support the internet business has created many unique companies and services that can actually make your life a lot easier. If you are willing to invest in some of these services and products, you might find that you are more effective with the time you have freed up and are able to make even more money!
For your daily tasks such as emails, returning calls, or filing, consider a personal assistant. Many new companies now offer personal assistant like services online for an hourly fee. Beginning at fifteen dollars an hour, you can have access to your very own personal assistant on an as needed basis.
