[F101]Fast Ways To Lose Fat

by Tyler Banfield, Tyl

1) A poorly designed web site

Nothing says “amateur” like a poorly designed web site. If your web site looks like it was created by an eleven year old with Microsoft FrontPage, you are going to have an extremely hard time convincing people to hire you. Even though you may be an SEO and not a web designer, people still expect your web site to have a professional appearance. Showing your potential clients your unattractive web site is like showing up to a job interview in shorts and a t-shirt. If you don't have an eye for web design, do yourself a favor and hire a web designer to create a professional looking web site for your company.

2) Ranking poorly for your company's name

If you really want to ensure that no one hires you for your search engine optimization services, make sure that your company web site ranks poorly in Google for its own name. Better yet, make sure it doesn't even get indexed! If you cannot even get your company's web site to rank well for its own name, chances are search engine optimization is not the field for you. You don't have to rank on the first page of Google for search engine optimization or search engine marketing (although it is very useful if you do), but at least rank number one for your company's name.

3) Spamming

Unless you are David Naylor, spamming is not going to attract any potential clients. Whether you are trying to spam your company to the front page of Digg or just posting tons of useless threads on forums to build up your back links, spamming is frowned upon by most of the general population.

4) Bad spelling and grammar

This may seem like a minor detail, but bad spelling and grammar can have the same effect as a poorly designed web site. Whether its ten typos on your home page or poorly written forum posts, bad spelling and grammar makes you and your company look much less professional. This is something that can easily be avoided by proofreading what you type before you post or submit it. If you really have a hard time putting together coherent sentences, invest in a copy of The Elements of Style.

5) Taking on jobs that you can't handle

If you take on a client and promise them that their web site will rank on the first page of Google for Viagra, chances are that relationship is going to end badly. It is extremely important to not only be realistic with your clients about their expectations, but also not to ever take on a job that you know you won't be able to accomplish. Taking someone's money and not delivering results is a guaranteed way to drag your company's name and reputation through the mud!

1. Pay per click advertising is a very fast way to get traffic to a website and promote a home business income opportunity. However what most people fail to talk about is that the majority of PPC advertising campaigns are not profitable.

There are several reasons for this, but the main one is that the advertiser does not understand how to calculate a return on investment. If you have money to start this type of the campaign it really is very easy to get one going.

That does not mean that it will pay off for you however. You certainly can bid more on the click and you should.

You can also fail to understand how many visitors it is taking to create a sale. And lastly you can fail to understand how much money you are making on each sale.

Therefore losing money on a home business income opportunity doing pay per click advertising is very easy to do. Most people do not take the time to monitor their campaigns, or to figure out how to make them profitable.

2. Another definite way to lose money with any home business is to sell products in a fading market. Not every market continues to be a hot market from one year to the next.

The most successful home business owners are people who are constantly marketing products in a market where there is a demand for it. They also understand the importance of marketing products to people that have money to spend on them.

3. The final reason that people lose money on a home business income opportunity is they do not know how to calculate their time as a business expense. You can lose money on your home business without actually spending money.

Time is money especially when you are working on a part-time basis. You should sit down and calculate what you feel your time is worth and then work to at the very least break even.

For example if you feel that you are worth $20 an hour, and you work 4 hours in a day, then for your business to break even you should have earned $80 that day.

If more home business income opportunities were worked from the aspect of profitability they would not lose money and there would be more successful people running them.
