Internet Home Business Friends Who Inspire

Internet Home Business Friends Who Inspire

Hello, Warriors: (Also posted at GT Bulmer Web Bizz Blog)

When you work from home, you may be in business FOR yourself but you never have to be in business BY yourself. You have the choice to social network with other like-minded entrepreneurs and benefit from their knowledge and encouragement. Here are a few Internet home business friends who inspire me.

I am a member of several online social networks where I interact regularly with home based business entrepreneurs from around the world. In today’s web biz blog post I am going to tell you about two who have inspired and encouraged me over the past few days.

Web Bizz Blog Improvements

The basic plan for my Internet home business is to create a marketing site (StarrBizz.com) that is appealing to visitors in both design and content. I feel somewhat confident in my “eye for design,” but my technical skills are severely lacking. However, thanks to web biz mentors and friends, I am learning.

The page template for my website is one that many other marketers also use. We have the freedom to change and modify the template any way we want, but for inexperienced designers like myself, it is a long, slow process.

On occasion, we get really brave and ask our home business friends and associates for “feedback.” Well, you know what they say about honesty; the truth sometimes hurts. You like to think you’re doing everything right and there’s nothing more you can do to improve ... and then the feedback arrives (he says with an experienced chuckle.)

Fortunately, when your friends are supportive and want to see you succeed, the feedback they provide is constructive, relative and helpful.

Ros Bott, The Career Life Coach, gave me some advice for my Web Bizz Blog a couple of days ago that should have been obvious to me. Ros said to add some pictures or graphics to help break up long stretches of text.

Duh. I know that. So why wasn’t I doing it? Good question. Mental block? I really don’t know. Thanks, Ros, for waking me up!

I already knew how to insert photos and graphics, but the challenge I had was knowing how to “wrap” or “float” text around the graphics. This is where my next Internet home business friends come in.

Leon and Deanna Bowes, Christian Home Based Business, don’t know it yet, but they provided the inspiration and technical knowledge I needed to decipher the “text floating” challenge.

Knowing that some of my Internet Marketing friends use interesting design ideas, I looked around and noticed that Leon and Deanna use graphics with floated text at the beginning of their blog posts. Sooo ... I took a sneak peek at their source code and discovered the secret to text floating success. Thanks, Leon and Deanna!

I can’t end this blog post without acknowledging my own dear spouse who is not directly involved in my home based web biz, but supports me in other ways. She spent time surfing the Internet looking for design solutions and we also spent some “quality time” together scanning through an HTML sourcebook seeking solutions. She is my life partner AND my best friend!

Building a business can be challenging, but remember this: you are not alone. You can enhance the experience by drawing strength from Internet home business friends who inspire you.
