			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#13;<br />
              For a lot of people finding time to work their home based business is hard thing to do.  However, for men and women who have young children in the house, finding time for your business can be even harder, but it doesn&#8217;t need to be impossible.   Work your business in the â??nooks and cranniesâ? of your life.  It is amazing how much you can accomplish this way.  Here are a five good ways to find the time.  1) Naptime Even if your kids donâ??t nap for long, it will still give you some child-free time to make calls, market online, answer emails and the like.  Sometimes all you need is 15 or 20 minutes to get a good amount of work done.  If you have any prospects to call back, this is an excellent time to do that because talking on the phone is usually easier while the kids are not around you.   If you get things ready to go while the kids are awake, when they go to sleep, you can get right to work and get the most out of your time.  That means listing the names and numbers of the people you need to call back, or just getting things organized in general.   2) Mommy/Daddy Day Sending your children to have a special day with just mommy or daddy can be a great way to give the other parent time alone to work on their business.  Everyone wins in this situation! Parents LOVE to spend a day with their kids at the park, going to see a movie or hanging out at an amusement park, the kids LOVE it too, and the other parent has time to work without distraction.  Schedule these special trips every couple of weeks and you will have an entire uninterrupted day of workâ?¦ and that can go REALLY far when youâ??re trying to build a business!  Even if you and the other parent are not together, you might have set days when you know your children will be scheduled to visit.  USE THAT TIME.   3) DVDâ??s are Your FRIEND Now Iâ??m not saying to let the T. V.  parent your kids.  However, thereâ??s nothing wrong with allowing your kids to pick out a fun movie, pop some popcorn and sit them in front of the T. V.  from time to time.   Let me say it again, when you are trying to build a businessâ?¦ DVDâ??s are your FRIEND! Use them! Depending on the age and the attention span of your child, you can have from 30 minutes to an hour and a half of pure uninterrupted work time and that will go a long way.  4) Crafts Kids LOVE to do arts and crafts.  Even children who tend to be a little hyper will usually settle down to make something, especially when they get to use their hands and be creative.   Keep in mind that if you have your kids working in one room that might not be the best time to start making calls, because there will probably be some supervising that needs to take place.  However, this is a good time to organize things or perhaps do different kinds of online marketing that you can stop and start at your leisure.   5) Early Bedtimes and Strategic Calling Depending on what time your kids go to bed and what time zone you live in, bedtime can be a good time to catch up on calls and just get things done in general.   If you live in the Eastern time zone and the children go to bed at 8:00 pm, thatâ??s only 5:00 pm Pacific or 6:00 pm Mountain or 7:00 pm Centralâ?¦ thatâ??s prime calling time for any zone! Start with the latest and do first and work West.  Remember when youâ??re making phone calls, you are not limited to your time zone.  If it is too late to make calls in one time zone, you might not be able to call people who live in another.   Of course this rule does go both ways.  You will need to be aware of what time it is in other time zones and make sure youâ??re not calling people where it is 3 hours later! (If it is too late, do other things and make your calls during their nap time the next day. )  Organize yourself well throughout the day and you should have everything ready when the kids go to bed.  You will at least have a couple good hours of work time.   I hope that these tips have been helpful in allowing you to find time to work your home based business as much as possible, while still being the BEST mom or dad.  Your kids are one of the main reasons you are working your business anyway.  The more time you spend in the early stages of your business building your income, the more time you will have free to spend with them for years to come!            </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a few years since blogging first emerged. But it&#8217;s only recently that it&#8217;s been considered as more than just a fad.</p>
<p>Many teenagers have resorted to blogging as an outlet for their emotions, a little online nook where they can sound off about whatever bugs them or makes them happy.</p>
<p>Now savvy marketers have discovered that blogging is one of the best Internet marketing methods that doesn&#8217;t cost a cent.</p>
<p>So, what exactly is a blog? Blog is the shortened form of &#8220;web log&#8221;. Basically, a blog is an online journal. A blog can be set up for no cost at all, and can be used just for the fun of it or for business purposes.</p>
<p>Blogging for your Internet business is a great way to boost the visibility of your products and services. Here are a few ways that your internet advertising will benefit from using a blog:</p>
<p>1. Keep your clients or customers abreast of changes to your website. You can announce new products and affiliate websites through your blog.</p>
<p>2. Publish your opinions, advice or reviews on specific products or services that are related to your business. Publishing is an easy process with blogging.</p>
<p>3. Include articles that will fetch back-links, and links to your website that will subsequently improve your ranking on search engines. This can be helped by putting well written articles in both your blog and your website.</p>
<p>4. You should also include affiliate links in your blog to earn extra income. In fact some people earn good incomes just from niche blogs with relevant affiliate links.</p>
<p>5. Collect responses through the ability of blogs to accept comments from your blog readers. Not only does this build your content without any effort on your part, but you can learn and improve your products and services through the feedback from your readers.</p>
<p>6. Connect with other bloggers. When other bloggers notice that you have something good to say in your blog, they might put you in their favorites lists &#8211; that will automatically link you to their blogs and further help your rankings and traffic.</p>
<p>So, how do you set up a blog? There are a few options you can use to take advantage of this fun and fairly easy way to advertise your Internet business.</p>
<p>You can either load blogging software, such as &#8220;wordPress&#8221;, on your own domain or use a blog hosting service. Host services such as LiveJournal and Blogger.com are the most popular in this field. Those hosts provide you with easy instructions on how to put up your blog.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve got your blog up and running, you can promote it through the usual methods. Some examples are blog directories, participating in relevant forums or writing and submitting articles.</p>
<p>Remember also that most blog software or providers have an inbuilt function to provide an RSS feed of your blog contents. So you can also submit that feed to RSS directories, and to feed servers such as FeedBurner.com</p>
<p>But whatever else you do, remember to add the RSS feed as content to your personalized home pages at Google, my.yahoo.com and my.msn.com It&#8217;ll help get your blog spidered and listed faster by those search engines.</p>
<p>So now you know a bit more about the free advertising benefits of blogging, the next step is to take action &#8211; now. Happy blogging.</p>

<p>E-Readers which are also called digital or electronic readers, lets users wirelessly download books and read them on hand-held devices resembling a glorified etch-a-sketch. That&#8217;s a bit of an exaggeration, but these handy little digital readers have become extremely popular; according to a recent Time article, Amazon has already sold 1.7 million of the Kindle E-Reader since it was introduced in 2007.</p>
<p>And according to the same article, the Association of American Publishers states total revenue from digital-book downloads has risen 149% this year, while they estimate e-book readers sales to top 3 million by Dec. 31. Plus, according to Forrester Research around 1 million of these gadgets could be sold this holiday season, and sales in 2010 are projected to double, to 6 million.</p>
<p>&#8220;The year 2009 is a breakout year for e-readers,&#8221; says Sarah Rotman Epps, an analyst with Forrester Research. &#8220;But we&#8217;re still in the early stages.&#8221;</p>
<p>Those make for very impressive numbers and it could point to E-Readers as &#8220;the&#8221; hot Christmas gift this Holiday Season; at least where tech gadgets are concerned. Given its well received features and programs, an E-Reader could make for an excellent corporate business gift, especially if you could brand them with your company logos and stream them with your company&#8217;s newsletters and RSS feeds.</p>
<p>Then we also have the recent launch of the NOOK from Barnes &amp; Noble which will give the Amazon Kindle some competition. The Nook has a 6-inch paper-like display which uses a 16-level grayscale that can support up to five fonts. You can use it to read PDFs, in addition to over 1 million books, newspapers and magazines available in Barnes &amp; Noble&#8217;s eBook store. The Nook is currently priced at around $260.</p>
<p>How is it different from the Kindle: besides the flashy color icons, designer cases and color customizable back panel; the Nook does have some nice features such as a virtual bookmark called Reading Now that lets you pick up where you left off reading on the Nook, and it has Wi-Fi radio which customers can use at 700 Barnes &amp; Noble&#8217;s locations and at 600 college stores in 50 states. There&#8217;s enough memory for holding 1,500 books (2 GB) and there&#8217;s a microSD slot which could give you another 16 GB more.</p>
<p>But this holiday season, gift buyers (corporate or otherwise) will have many more E-Readers to choose from other than the Kindle and the Nook. Where there&#8217;s a profit to be made, other companies will follow. Just like when Asustek invented the category of Netbook with its ASUS Eee-PC in 2007, other laptop makers and sellers quickly jumped on the bandwagon and the marketplace was flooded with netbooks or mini-laptops.</p>
<p>This recent trend towards E-Readers will prove no different; take for example Sony, who introduced the first electronic reader way back in 2004, will be introducing three new devices according to the Time&#8217;s article. The Sony Reader will have a Pocket Edition ($199), sporting a 5-inch-diagonal screen, Touch Edition ($299) which will be touchscreen-equipped and the Daily Edition ($399), which will feature wireless capability.</p>
<p>Asus is also entering the E-Reader market with a product called the Eee-reader which should be on the market for Christmas. Then there is the Fujitsu FLEPia which is the only commercially available E-Reader which has a color display. It&#8217;s only available in Japan and costs around $1,100. Ouch!</p>
<p>For the more modest consumer, the Irex Digital Reader will be hitting U.S. stores this month, October 2009. The DR800 will have an 8.1-in. touchscreen with wireless connectivity and will sell for $90 less than the similarly sized Kindle DX, which will set you back around $489. This is the price at the time of writing, expect those prices to drop as competition heats up.</p>
<p>On the horizon, there are many different versions of the e-reader that will hit the market. There is even a fold up model which will open like a book and another one called the Polymer Vision Readius which is also a phone but it has a flexible screen that folds up around the phone to make it extra portable.</p>
<p>Then we have the looming debut of Apple&#8217;s fabled iTablet which could be a game changer in the whole E-Reader arena. It could also be a Kindle or Nook Killer given Apple&#8217;s enormous popularity with tech savvy consumers who only want the latest gadget on the market.</p>
<p>One really has to question why all this popularity for the E-Reader, especially since we already have the small portable netbook on the market, which can be easily used for reading books. More specifically, we already have Tablet PCs which could easily fulfill this reading function. Granted they may be slightly larger, but they also offer all the features of a laptop, so why not just convert/use this device as an E-Reader?</p>
<p>Regardless, the E-Reader seems to be gearing up to be a top tech gift this holiday season. The perfect gift for family members, friends and employees alike&#8230; especially for the book-reading fanatics in your family or company. E-Readers are also the ideal gifts for those who simply must have the latest and newest tech gadget on the market.</p>
