Collective Moms Advertising

Do you have a Mom-oriented website or blog? Trying to make some extra money through Google's adsense, affiliate marketing or link campaigns? Here's something we can help each other with - a "Vertical Advertising Network".

This kind of network is a bunch of websites and/or blogs that are related by something in common - a common theme, common material, groups, authors or locations. Large advertisers don't typically have the enthusiasm for negotiating advertising rates individually with many small sites, and therefore tend to miss a large "niche" segment of consumers who very well may be interested in their products. When these niche sites all band together and offer their collective website traffic to an advertiser, everyone benefits, the advertiser is able to make a single "buy", and individual website owners get better ads (therefore more likely to be clicked on, and earning some residuals).

We've started a vertical network like this, leveraging a service called "Adroll". We've started an "advertising community" called "Work at Home Moms" leveraging this service - find out more about it, join up for free, and put your website traffic to better use! Just click on the Adroll box over on the right side of our blog page - the one that says "We're Related".

Real Estate Agents - what's your next job, in this Bubble?

Here's a very interesting post by TechCrunch regarding an outfit that "surveyed 862 real estate, mortgage, and financial workers about their intent to start their own businesses following this summer’s subprime mortgage financial crisis." The results are basically that 70% are either in process or intend to start a different business within the next 6 months, and over 40% intend to do some kind of Internet/Technology work.

There certainly are lots of options for Internet-related businesses, coming from industries where entrepreneurialism on the Internet isn't typically practiced as a profession - but these options shouldn't include high-tech work - that market's already saturated for beginners. Look to leverage the business skills you have, simply utilizing the Internet as a new marketing and delivery vehicle.

What business skills do you have? We've been through this...you'd be surprised, upon taking personal, honest inventory, what skills you have and don't have - and which skills can probably be "monetized" over the Internet (and which can't).

Seeking absolutely Motivated Professionals

It's actually been very difficult for us to find really, truly motivated professionals seeking at home work. What constitutes a "Motivated Professional"? Are you truly motivated? Simply answer "yes" to the following questions -

1 - Are you thinking about your business/work all day long?
2 - Do you answer emails/voicemails/IMs all day, every day?
3 - Are you constantly thinking of ways to expand/improve your income-producing channels?
4 - Do you constantly reach out to other professionals for networking and assistance?
5 - Are you contributing work every single day to your business, income-producing assets or employer(s)?

If you've answered "yes" to ALL these, you are motivated, and we need you. Opportunities are available right now for motivated types like you...just contact us.
