Thou Shall Not Spam
Couldn’t they have come up with another name for junk mail on the Internet? I mean Spam, that is a meat by-product that as far as I can figure out only older men seem to like.
I mean no insult to the Spam connisseur. I am sure it taste wonderful, if you like salty canned meat. I prefer my meat to look like meat and not all pressed together so it resembles a brick.
First off…meat is not supposed to come canned. To me and I am sure to thousand of others, this is not natural. Then there is the jell type substance that is in with the meat. What is that? Is it necessary to the canning process?
So why is internet junk mail called “spam”? And when someone speaks of it they almost have a combative tone to their voice or email. Thou Shalt Not Spam! They say it like it is the 11th commandment. I don’t remember anyone saying anything about Moses coming off the mountain with 11 commandments, or was I sleeping through Cathecism again?
So why not call it what it is “Junk Mail” “Unwanted Mail” anything is better than “Spam.”
And another thing, even though as an internet marketer I am not suppose to do “it”, I receive hundred of unsolicited emails in all 5 of my email accounts daily. I didn’t ask Joe Blow to send me information on Viagra, I am sure I would remember. So didn’t Joe spam me? That didn’t sound right, but I am sure you know what I mean…or if you want take it anyway you want…let your imagination flow.
Free Methods of Marketing Your Home Business
Now that you have decided you want to work at home, you are not sure how to get started. Am I right? First of all you are not alone. So take a deep breath and live your dream.
If you plan on your home business being a success, and I am sure you do, then you need to learn to market it effectively. Meaning figure out if you want to market it only online, offline, use only free methods, use paid advertising or both. How do you market your business?
In this article I will concentrate on only free methods, because frankly that is how I started.
If you don’t already have a website, it is best to have one of your own to market. Don’t panic, if I did it, you can do it. A domain name can be purchased online anywhere from $1.99 (Go Daddy) to $7.95 and up. Pick a name that is relevant to your business. For instance if you are selling affiliate work at home programs like I do, then you do not want a name like HorseRUs. That is fine if you are selling saddles and bridles, but not home business opportunities. After you settle on a domain name, you need to find a hosting service for your new website. This too can be done as cheaply as $4.95 a month (Ipower) and I have seen it as high as a yearly cost of over $500. Stick with the cheaper plans, believe me, all you need is someone to host your site on the web, you will be doing all the promotions, changes to your website, and anything else that needs attention.
