Work at Home Based Business

Archive for the ‘Uncategorized’ Category

Work from home nurse jobs are extremely high in demand right now but with that demand comes a lot of competition. It’s such an ideal situation for so many nurses that a large portion of them want to do it and are currently seeking opportunities. Not to mention the income potential is amazing! Getting one of these work from home nursing jobs most likely won’t be easy but it is possible.

At first glance, it seems like nursing is not a job you can do from home. But work at home nurse jobs do exist and can be a great way to make a living.

A work from home nurse job might consist of doing telephone consultations to help assess health concerns of a patient over the phone. Or you might just give general health advice to people who call in. Another great work from home nurse job you can do is to teach nursing classes online as an online instructor. A nurse might also work at home as case manager. It also may be possible to get a private work from home nurse job caring for a patient in home. Although in that case it would most likely be their home, not yours.

There are many companies that hire work from home nurses to do various jobs. A basic requirement for getting one of these home nurse jobs is to actually be a nurse and be up to date on all your certifications. You’ll most likely need a college degree and have the skills and equipment necessary to perform the job from home.

Some places that hire work at home nurses are:

-Humana
-United Health Group
-McKesson
-Fonemed
-Intracorp
-Sirona Health

Hospitals, clinics, and health care facilities in your area might also have nurse jobs available that allow you to work from home. You can also often find work at home nurse jobs being advertised on the major job search websites such as careerbuilder, monster, indeed, craigslist and others. Check your local paper for possible private opportunities that might be available.

Basically, you just need to use all the resources available to you both online and offline in order to find the right work from home nurse career for you.

When you work from home online and are alone all day it can get boring at times, so it’s important to have some sort of entertainment around to keep you sane. That’s why I really wanted to win the recent WhyDoWork.com karma contest to get a brand new 8 GB iPod touch for free, and I did! I already have an iPod Nano but I wanted an iPod touch because they have so many awesome features. Plus, getting anything that cool for free is always a bonus!

I’m actually on quite a winning streak with the WhyDoWork.com contests. I’ve won the past three in a row. A couple years ago I won a new 20″ flat screen computer monitor, last year I won a $100 Amazon gift certificate, and now I just won an 8 GB iPod touch. If I keep this up I’ll never have to buy anything on my own again.

Not only do they have great contests over at WhyDoWork, they also have an awesome work at home forum, an informative internet marketing blog, a very useful home based job search, and a ton of other great stuff. I highly recommend getting involved with their site right away. You’ll certainly learn a lot about working at home and making money online plus you might just be the next contest winner, but hopefully not because I want to keep winning them! Hahaha

Anyway, I was really excited when my new iPod touch arrived today so I wanted to write a post about it to let everyone know. See ya soon!

There aren’t many Internet marketers who don’t screw up somewhere along the line with one or more of their Internet marketing initiatives.

But what marks out a successful Internet marketer from a loser is how you respond to failure.

How do you respond when you find that the advertising campaign you just invested a few hundred dollars in produces no results?

What do you do when the 150 affiliates who you added to your team do nothing?

What do you do when the program you have been promoted suddenly morphs into something else, or simply goes belly up?

Here is a 5-step response strategy to help you respond to failure and handle the stuff that goes wrong with your Internet marketing business…

1. Face up to your own mistakes honestly, but don’t brand yourself a “failure”. “You” are not the problem. A failure is someone who and gives up after making just one or two mistakes. Don’t allow yourself to join their ranks.

2. Regard any of your screw-ups as wonderful opportunities to learn something new! Cheerfully admit your mistakes and invest your emotional energy in learning from the process and benefitting from it.

3. Study what went wrong. How did the screw-up occur? Was it carelessness, lack of research, or was it due to circumstances out of your control?

4. Seek a solution, or shelve the project and go back to the drawing board. Ask yourself what you can do to prevent it happening again

5. Squeeze out further benefit from the screw-up by teaching others how to avoid it. Since you have direct experience you will be able to speak with authority and this will enhance your impact as an Internet marketing coach.

You can also write an e-book of make a video course in which you teach others how to avoid all the dreadful mistakes you have made in your progress towards Internet marketing success.

Viewed properly, the mistakes you make as an Internet marketer offer you excellent occasions for making a great leap forward with your Internet business. Do not miss the boat by branding yourself as a failure. Instead, learn to use the techniques that Olympic athletes such as Ruben Gonazalez use to turn the power of belief into a motivator for generating success out of mistakes, failures and unpromising circumstances.

Is it the Matrix? Is it somehow tied to Pareto and his ingenious 80/20 rule? Most importantly, can you decipher the code and crack the 98% solution?

Some answers you must find for yourself, but we do all live in a matrix of our own creation… our own mind. The actions you take are governed by the dominant beliefs and values in your head.

When you become aware of this matrix you have created you become very powerful. If it is serving you results other than what you want go in and change it.

Let’s talk for a moment about Google’s 70% solution. Much has been said about it. For the uninitiated it is this:

- Focus 70% of your time on activities that directly pay you the lion’s share of your income (in Google’s case “core search”).

- Focus 30% of your time on innovation and new product development.

This is an invaluable insight you can start using today. But what is the 98% solution as it pertains to you?

Imagine this scene like something straight out of a movie. There is a man walking all alone in the middle of this vast expanse that is a desert wasteland. There is nothing and no one as far as the eye can see.

His shoulders are slumped forward, head looking down toward the ground, he is beaten and broken. He searches but for what we know not.

All the grains of sand all around him will not quench his thirst. There is a dry, suffocating heat all around him that stalks his spirit like a mongoose on a King Cobra.

And then as if by magic he sees 3 Oasis’ on the desert horizon. He immediately perks up and begins running toward them (though very slow due to his exhaustion and dehydration).

- The 1st one he gets to is a mirage, nothing more than the same old sand. He gets very discouraged.

- The 2nd one is a false oasis with water unfit to drink. He dips in anyway to the dirty water and it tastes foul.

- The 3rd one is his salvation… pure, clean, thirst-quenching drinking water at last.

So who is this man and why am I telling you his tale? Because he is YOU! The desert sand is your friends, family and other uninterested parties the gurus tell you to go after. This desert sand won’t quench your thirst for business success and sales. It definitely can’t be deposited into your bank account.

The suffocating heat and dryness are your competition in your chosen business field. They are also the other non-competing businesses seeking your target people’s attention. It is a dog-eat-dog world and you must outmaneuver these 2 forces to win.

- The 1st oasis mirage is you seeing what you want to see. This supports your current mental state. It is the easiest solution closest to you.

- The 2nd oasis are false prophets and scammers telling you what to believe to get you to open your wallet so they can take what they want without giving to you.  The people who tell you stories of instant wealth with zero effort.

- The 3rd oasis is your holy grail. It is the true solution that people with integrity will show you. If you decide to accept the offer it saves your life (or business in this case).

We have all heard the horrifying stat that 98% of people who start a home business will fail. So what is the 98% solution? It is… finding the true oasis and dipping into the pure drinking water. In your business it is MARKETING.

You fish in ponds of hungry fish who want the bait you have. You can do this through the internet very easily. Think of the search terms people who want what you have would use to find you and then setup a website to capture their imagination and attention.

Then, of course, you follow-up and show them why your business is an excellent choice for them and give them the opportunity to work with you and have access to your expertise.

That is how you find internet marketing success!

Have you ever heard about “dead websites”? It is about the websites which end their life on the internet after a while. What happens to these after their death? Is there an archive where you can trace them? Does anyone keep statistics how many websites are dying daily or monthly? Which country or which category has actually the biggest cemetery of websites? Is there a study about the reasons of their death? The questions could go on.

The idea about this dark part of internet came up when I was surfing on a shortwave radio in the middle of the night. Suddenly, I caught the words “La mort et mourrir sur Internet” from a French channel. The program was almost ending. “La mort et mourrir sur Internet” means “death and dying on Internet”. How sad it sounds! But what does it actually mean? I can’t give a better description than the next I found on the Internet:

“They are born, they grow, they are loved by a few, they communicate a few things, and then they go on to die. The death of a website generally goes unmarked, unnoticed, and unrecognized. A dead website is no longer a valuable enterprise but a historical record, a fiercely marked arena of time. A website that has died gets no funeral, no send off, no eulogy, and often gets no final words. Websites seem to die a strange death – they are both very public and very private organisms, created by a living few for a living audience and when they pass, the act of viewing them or reflecting on them is inherently solitary. (see: www.deckchairs.net/blogs/main/archives/000721.html) (Yes you are right, this URL died)”

You would think that the Google Robot which spiders every online information and transfers it to earning would also have an answer to this interesting problem. Unfortunately, after searching for a week I was not able to find any answer at Google or Google Lab.

On the contrary, I found that search engines in general do not like dead sites. One of their principles is to deliver more actual and content dynamic sites in their results. Therefore they don’t like dead sites, dead links and every website which has any smell of death. They even don’t like what we might call exhausted sites, sites which are build up ones and never changed or worked on later. These can also be interpreted as potentially dead or close to dead and are therefore placed at the bottom of the search results.

The search engines might not be interested in them but that does not decrease their importance for the history of the Internet or social-economic sciences. The questions mentioned at the top are worth studying this problem in depth. Still, it should be mentioned that the general interest in the topic is still waiting. This might come in the near future.

In fact the few information that are available on the Internet already give a hint to the coming up. The website www.archive.org gives for example an insight into the history of many websites. If you type an URL in their “waybackmachine,” you might get screenshot results from 1996 on. It is interesting to follow the development of the design of some nowadays very popular sites. Archive.org is connected to Alexa and therefore shows only the sites which are “caught” by Alexa. Nevertheless, it is a very important and highly valuable contribution to this field.

Of course, also in this field the smart ones are first. A website already promotes itself with ‘How to bring your site to life again’. Like their co-operators in the company world, they promise to bring life in a dead website. Within three months your dead website will have the best position at search engines.

Another website explains how you gain benefit from a dead website. Imagine website x was working in the travel business. You also have a travel website and know that x is out of life. So trace the backward links to x, explain the situation to the webmasters of these given links and tell them that your website could be a substitute for the dead x. Your site will have, so the website confirms, in no time 10-20% more quality link partners.

Unfortunately, the social rule seems to be valid also over here. Like the Dutch expression says: “For the one it is his death, for the other his bread.”

Not to be a bread for others, don’t forget to say when you open your browser each morning and see your homepage:
