A Love for Home






When I became a mother 30 years ago, my heart has always been right here in my home.  Creating a warm and loving atmosphere for my husband and children has been a large part of my life.  Helping my husband to provide for our children by providing them with the best education, nourishing their precious temples with healthy foods and clothing their bodies and feet with the highest quality garments ever made, I worked outside of the home for 13 years; a long time and long enough to know that I never want to work outside of my home ever again.
The thing about working for someone else was that I never got a chance to utilize my gifts.  I demonstrated my excellent typing skills, but that was the limit.  Once I discovered what my true gifts were, I decided to start my own work from home business.  Loving what I do, I could not have made a more intelligent decision.
For me, working from home has been one of the most amazing journeys I have ever taken.  My work at home journey has given me great pleasures and wonderful benefits that accompanies this one-of-a-kind journey; one of a kind because being a business owner allows me to do things my way.  It gives me the opportunity to use my gifts, talents, skills and abilities to the fullest helping me to reach my greatest potential.



Starting my first home based business as a virtual assistant was good and I enjoyed typing and transcribing, but I knew there was something greater waiting for me and I discovered what that something was as I began creating coloring pages for children.  I went from making coloring pages to coloring books and then to graphic design.  Graphic design became my passion.  All of this happened in October 2002 and I’ve been designing almost every day ever since.
People who I shared my designs with told me that my designs were amazing.  One person even told me that he had yet to see anything close to my designs; they are simply beautiful were his exact words.
My business growth has truly been a step-by-step process and I have taken it one day at a time.  At first, I started out creating and designing coloring pages for kids.  I went to the next level in my business and I began making flyers from there I graduated to greeting cards for my husband and a dear friend of ours.  I started designing business cards and personalized keepsakes for children and families. The personalized keepsakes was one of the greatest components of my business.  The personalized keepsakes were certificates that I turned into a short lived business only because I didn’t have the business knowledge that I have now.  Angel on my Shoulder was born and it took off.  After AOMS, I started Cyndi’s Light Work Designs and this is the business I have come to love and enjoy to the fullest.  I have incorporated all of my ideas under the umbrella of CLWD and I enjoy running my business to the utmost.  It gives me a sense a peace, joy and true happiness I’ve never experienced.  Working for myself, setting my own work schedule and being able to run my business my way is a wonderful feeling.
When I joined Facebook a few years ago and I started my business page, I began posting my designs right away and saw a growth in business doing what I never thought I would or could do and that was creating logos and other designs for people and their businesses.  This is something that I truly love doing because design is now my passion. This took my business to a whole level and yet I still wanted more and so I decided to take my design business to the next level which was to put them on tee-shirts, mugs, tote bags and other merchandise and sell them.  The platforms that I decided to use was CafePress and Zazzle
and these were great, but deep down in my heart I knew that I wanted something even greater for my business.  I wanted a full fledge design business and even though CafePress and Zazzle were great as an introductory for my business, I wanted my customers to order directly from me and I wanted to handle all of my orders. My goal was to be able package all of my items elegantly (depending on what items my customers were ordering) accompanied by a beautiful thank you card with a personal message from me.  I envisioned all these things in my mind and I set out to accomplish all of my goals.  This is what being
a business owner and entrepreneur means; doing things your way which has the all of the components of growing a unique home based business.





Doing things your way, devising your business plan and then executing your plan for great business success is empowering and uplifting.  For me, it has been the dream that I didn’t just have to dream, but the dream that I now live.
 Tee-Shirt Business
I had dreamed many dreams in terms of starting my own business.  One of my dreams included a t-shirt business.  I know people like wearing t-shirts and I wanted to start my own t-shirt business.  I did some research on how to get started, but I was a little skeptical about buying a heat press machine only because I had no knowledge of how they worked.  I did more research and found that heat press machines are expensive, but I could buy a used one for about $350.  I thought that this was a good price, but I was still a little nervous only because I didn’t have a marketing plan in place to sell the tees, so Idecided to use CustomInk for my t-shirt design business and they have been awesome.  I haven’t sold many tees, but that’s only because I really didn’t market my business for success and that’s only because I can’t stop designing long enough to focus on my t-shirt business!  I hope to someday have a booming t-shirt business and until then, I am enjoying creating and designing some of the most magnificent designs for my clients.  They love what I do, but most importantly I love the fact that I have been given such an amazing gift and I can share my gift with the world.

I have truly been blessed to be able to work from home doing every single thing I love to do.

As a home based business owner, I've dabbled in quite a few businesses that have taught me a lot of things.  I'm a typist, transcriptionist, virtual administrative assistant, graphic designer and now a coachsultant (I made up this word because it defines a lot of what I do) and I enjoy them all.

My first love is designing.  I enjoy designing and writing more than anything else.  It gives me a sense of peace and calm whenever I sit down in my studio to get those creative juices flowing and once I get going, it's hard for me to stop.  It's like I'm in my own creative world that puts me in a state of euphoria.

I'd like to share with you a few of my designs that I think you will like.  This design was created for one of my other businesses, Bedside Christmas Letters.  I founded this business one day when I was laying down in my son's bed and my husband was building a shelf in my son's room and all of a sudden the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, Bedside Birthday Letters and from out of BBLetters came Bedside Christmas Letters.  This is a great business for stay-at-home moms.  If you want more information about starting this business, please send me an email and I can help you get started.  cyndisdesignz@gmail.com

Moms in Slippers, I work in the comfort of home and I love it!

Work from Home, Make Money Online and Forget that 9-5

Usually I'm skeptic of these kinds of programs, but I've tried everything under the sun to make money online, I've tried everything from surveys to writing. I always seemed to just make nickels and dimes, when I ran across this program I figured it was just another scam. Although I noticed it has a 60 day guarantee, so I decided why not, what do I have to lose? If their program don't work and is just s scam, at least I can get my money back, and if it's not I can make some money. About 1 week after I bought this program I started to see my residual income rise to about, 70-100 dollars a day. After about 2 weeks I'm sitting at about 90-200 now. This is the real deal and a good way to make some extra cash.

Ease of use – 4* the program is very easy, but it has a slight learning curb, although it only took me a couple hours and I learn slowly.

Quality – 5* This program does what it advertises and makes you money, I'm sure if I put more time into this program I can really bring it a good amount of money!

Support – 5* If you need support they got it, good detail, and a fast response time.

I'm just saying, I wouldn't pass up an opportunity like this, this is a legit oppertunity to quit your 9-5 and get started on a much better life. I have personally tried this product, and trust me it is well worth it.

Link: Make money from home

I love being able to spend time with my family, go to the park and simply have fun then at the end of the day come home and check my account to see i made 50-100 dollars while i was at the park it's a really nice feeling i tell you. Well Unless you enjoy working your life away, otherwise i suggest checking this out.

Tips on Researching Products to Sell Online

Interested in participating in an online auction site like eBay or sell brand new items on a site like Amazon? There are simple ways to find things to sell, but there are also more challenging ways to find items too. Let's explore both.

Before you begin your quest to search for things to sell, you may want to have some idea how you will be obtaining items to sell. Will you purchase them from individuals or from wholesale businesses? This is important because if you buy from individuals then you don't necessarily need a business license, but when dealing with legitimate wholesalers, you will need a business license so that you can get the best prices on merchandise.

Easy Items

It will take patience and dedication to find items to sell online since many websites cover many different niches. You will want to start by asking yourself, "What do I like?" Put yourself in the consumer's shoes first. When you start selling items that you like, it doesn't feel so much like work. However, when you try to sell items you don't have any interest in, but just want to make a few dollars, you will notice that you will begin to burnout fast from selling online.

To get your feet wet in the online selling business, begin selling items around your home and those from people that you know. When you do this, you will get much needed practice. You will get better with using the online software, writing your descriptions of products, interacting online with customers, and learning more about shipping and handling those packages.

Difficult Items

Now when all personal items are sold online, most sellers end up registering with companies that have a large database of items to sell. However, they pay membership fees to access these databases, use images, and have items drop-shipped. This is when it can be a bit challenging to choose items to sell, because unlike picking items at home, you have to perform research on what sells and what doesn't. Is a company worth buying a membership to access a database or would it be better to perform my own research etc.?

Researching Merchandise

First, take a look at what you sold in the past that you enjoyed selling. Begin listing what other related items you think might sell online. This is a starting point to help you conduct research on your chosen niche. A niche is nothing more than a category that describes the specific type of product you are selling. So if it's a camera you are interested in selling then you need to find all the models related to that camera. Then you would start selling accessories related to that camera and so on.

Next, check competitive sites. Look at their best-selling items posted on the website related to your niche. Note the prices, what is considered a four star item, and read some of the reviews. When you see a lot of positive reviews, you know it is definitely a good product to sell and your refund rate will be most likely zero. Also, learn how to describe the product so that you too can get positive results on your site. Notice specials and offers related to the product.

Pricing

Depending on how cheap you can get the item you plan to sell will determine how much a profit you can truly obtain. Buying a product that only gives you pennies on the dollar won't help you much if you can't sell hundreds of the item fast. Pricing the item higher than your competitors won't yield the results you desire unless you plan on adding something more to sweeten the deal. So avoid choosing items that are over hyped, over priced and have bad reviews no matter how nice they look.

Wholesalers and Drop-shippers

Once you have an item in mind, you will find that there are many sites that will advertise suppliers who can either drop-ship your item or mail it directly to you. Drop-shipping is typically chosen by online sellers when they have no room in their homes to store products. However, those who do have storage space, may go with a wholesaler so that they have better control with packaging and shipping the item. Whichever you choose, be sure you conduct research on the latest scams by searching for the name of the company online. Also, if you want real wholesale prices with a real wholesale distributor, consider making your business a real business meaning you should register it in your state.

Check Google

You will want to search keywords related to the product. Ask yourself, "Which keywords are performing well?" An easy way to do this is to place words in the search engine and when you look at the drop down box, see what other related words come up. Copy down the words you see as well as others you intend to use in your description. Another way, for those people who are looking to do more thorough research is to use a keyword suggestion tool. When using one, don't go with the most popular words with almost a million searches a day. Chances are your site will be lost amongst the crowd. If you plan on paying for keywords, you don't want to pick the most popular ones either, since your competition will be very high. In addition, your site won't rank well for highly competitive keywords if it hasn't been around for awhile and it won't be visited much if you have no clear understanding on Search Engine Optimization (SEO.) So consider learning more about SEO and how to use keyword suggestion tools.

Visit Sites

You will want to check out other niche websites to find out what keywords they are using to get buyers. Also, check the site you will be selling your wares to find out if the item is being sold frequently. On eBay, when you are logged in, you can actually check to see what has been sold already simply by selecting the filter setting just before you search. On Amazon, you can see the popularity of an item based on the stars it receives and the amount of reviews people have written about it.

Read Related Articles

Consider what other people have written about the item. You may find that rather than selling it on an online auction, it may be better to sell it elsewhere. Also, check out forums to find out if there are specific needs that consumers would hope that sellers would address concerning the product.

Join Mailing Lists and Forums

It helps to join a mailing list when you are in search of products and forums where people chat about their ups and downs when selling products via the Internet. Sometimes experienced sellers will share ideas, direct visitors to suppliers, and offer their expertise on selling. You can find some of these sellers on places where digital products are sold and also sites that sell books by former power sellers on eBay.

Purchase Products to Help You Find Niches

When you find that you idea product in your niche is not working out, you may want to consider purchasing a software program that will give you ideas on what might sell.

Now that you have some tips on performing product research, re-read this article and others like it then start implementing some of the tasks. The more you research the better you will get at it and before you know it you will have a nice website with all your latest finds. To your success!

How to Use Social Media

Every internet home based business marketer may have noticed, that Google changed its algorithms and started to favour more the links coming from the social media. They also downgraded the importance of many article directories. This move forced many internet home based business entrepreneurs to take the social media more seriously.

The fact is that the social media sites, especially the most popular ones, are extremely popular and fit well to the internet home based business marketing. And they cooperate with the search engines, meaning, that the social media material can be ranked high on the search engines.

1. If A Business Is Not Ranked Well, It Is Nowhere.

The high rankings come as results of a successful SEO, meaning that the page has succeeded to get the needed links from other related sites. The ranking is not only important for the traffic, but also to the brand image. Think, when your site is on the first page of the high traffic result page, how many eyes will see the title, teaser and domain, again and again. That is a real brand development.

2. Often The Social Media Is The Visitor Feeder.

Very often the marketers use the social media, like Twitter or bookmarking sites, to feed visitors to the landing page. The visitor has read anly the teaser about the landing page and if interested, he will arrive to the landing page to see the rest.

3. Google Algorithm Change Forced Marketers For Changes.

Earlier this year Google was worried. It was worried, that the social media sites would pick too much from its customer base. Their answer was to change the algorithms so, that the social media was upgraded and the other, less qualitative sources, like some article directories, were downgraded. This made the links from the social media sites more valuable.

4. The Profiles Can Rank High.

The profiles, which the internet home based business marketer writes into the many social media sites are important. Especially the profiles from the most popular sites, Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter, can rank high on the search engines. This means, that the content quality must be of a high class.

5. Remember To Use The Long Tail Keywords.

The keywords are very important in every single post. Even the shortest Twitter post should include the keyword. This makes it possible for the search engines to pick the post and the other marketers can find it too.

6. The Posts Have Shelf Life Times.

Look at the search results. In average every Facebook post gets half of its likes in 80 minutes and 95 % in 22 hours. This means, that if a marketer posts too often, he will kill his earlier posts and if too seldom, he will be dropped away from the wagon.

7. Communicate With Others.

To be able to get, you have first to give. This is the golden rule in all communication. You must start the communication and to share benefits to others, before they start to share their ideas to you. The social media and the SEO can work hand in hand. It is important to understand the marketing process, before a marketer can make it to work. A powerful usage of the social media requires changes in the way, how a marketer uses his time. This must be planned, because social media honestly takes time.

Even using social networking opportunities such as Facebook will help expand your reach to consumers and improve linking recognition.

How To Advertise Your Business

The online environment creates a chance for several individuals to pursue the dreams associated with owning their own business and developing a self-reliant financial foundation.

Anybody who finds themselves questioning how to advertise my business, is taking the very first step necessary to improving online success.

The last step is found with the implementation of your identified methods to advertise my business. You have done all the prep work that's involved with understanding the marketing environment and now you can just dive into this and generate your own lessons of mistakes and successes.

Home Internet Business Ideas

Home Internet business ideas are a plenty but how many are actually worth your time and investment? Did you know there was around 10,000 new home Internet business ideas unleashed on us all last year alone but I bet less than half weren't worth the time it took to read the sales copy let alone the asking price.

Now don't get me wrong, not all new home business ideas are scams far from it. Take the latest craze that has swept the US earlier this year and still keeps popping up with a different name and angle to it, I'm talking about the "local small business consulting".

You know,where people like you or me take our online marketing knowledge and help offline small businesses get there business up and running online. We can do this because of our SEO and traffic generation skills. I have actually done this not as a home Internet business, but for a friend of mine back in the UK.
Home Internet business ideas in Action

He has a TV aerial installation business in Widnes so I created him a simple website did a little seo vodoo, simple things that are taught in my "SEO Expert Traffic Generation Blueprint Video Training" Type this phrase "aerial installations Widnes" into Google.co.uk and the site I built for Neil should be there in the top two positions. (www.widnesaerials.com).

Home Internet Business IdeasIt has to be said that this home Internet business idea was a great one but to able to start a home business in this area you first need to know your seo. Like I said there are many different types of a Home business, take mine for instance, as your probably aware seeing as your here reading this.

I sell information products which is another one of those great home Internet business ideas. I have actually moved up the ladder a little since I first started, I still sell information products but I now sell the resale rights to information products.

Which basically means, if you buy one of the products on this site you will also get the resale rights to sell that product on and keep all the profit from every sale you make. I started in the very same position when I first started, this wasn't the first of my home internet business ideas but I'm sure glad it was the one I finaly got stuck into.

There's more than one way to make money form the resale rights home business model apart from the two I just went over insted of being the final product reseller or the person passing on the resale rights, you could be the information product creator and sell the master resale rights to the first reseller giving him the rights to sell on the basic resell rights.
Home Internet business ideas - Resale Rights Formula

I hope I didn't confuse you there but just in case this my help clarify it a little...

Creator : Sells PLR or master resale rights to reseller for eg. £500

Reseller : Sells Basic resale rights to final reseller for eg. £ 250

Final Reseller : Sell to end user for £175

Do you see how the product creator make the easier money? For example for him to make £1000 he only has to sell 2. Where as the reseller will have to sell 4 to make the same amount and the final reseller has to sell 6. That's basically how the food chain works in the information products resale rights home Internet business.

If you look into it further I think you will agree that the information product resale rights business was and still is a very good home Internet business ideas

Effective Training Skills

Are you a business presenter? Do your presentation skills have an impact on your career? If yes, then sharpening your presentation skills with mediocre training programs is not enough. You need evaluate and find an effective presentation skills training program that will take your skills to the next level. In turn, this will boost your career and business.

Here are 3 critical points to help you assess any presentation skills program. Use it as a scale and get the best before committing your time and money to any training:

1. Vague tips and tricks Vs Clear step-by-step Process

Any skill that you learn in a training program needs to give you consistent results.

If you look carefully at the training brochure you will find words like tips for speaking, tricks to appear more confident, killer tips to amaze your audience. These are clearly programs that are going to be superficial. Look for words like clear process, step-by-step training program etc.

If they have a trademarked process, that is even better. A Minimal™ Process for Presentations, for example, teaches you such a step-by-step process that ensures you can create high-quality presentations - consistently.

Learning a structured process ensures that you get consistent results time after time.

2. Partial skills Vs Comprehensive Presentation Skills Training

Unfortunately most presenters don't realize that presentation skills are not 1 but 3 skills rolled into 1.

Presentation Skills = Thinking Skills + Design Skills + Presenting Skills

Thinking skills help you put together a strong storyline. Design skills help you create engaging visual Slides. Presenting skills help you communicate clearly when speaking.

Does the training program only teach you presenting skills on body language? Then it addresses only the third part and this skill without the first two is not sufficient. Ask for more from your training.

3. Same old stuff Vs Something new

Rules for Presentation skills are developing and changing all the time due to cognitive studies that research human behavior. Is the training provider staying in touch with what's new or are they teaching the same stuff for the past 15 years?

Check their slides posted online. Are they still using the same old bullet point stuffed slides? If they haven't bothered to update themselves, then you are better off without their training, aren't you?

If you see that the presentation skills trainers are indeed posting exciting new content online and their brochure shows they will be teaching something different and unique, then give them a big tick in your presentation skills training assessment form.

To conclude...

Once you find a program that matches these three criteria, you can be sure that it will help you sharpen your business presentation skills.
