It is only through lack of imagination that a person will find it difficult to find a suitable business from home. The abundance of imagination of a vast majority of individuals is clearly depicted in the number and variety of businesses that are now being carried out successfully from home. To name a medley of business opportunities will include “ home-based coffee stall”, “provisions mini-markets”, “photocopying”, “barber services and “academic tuition centers”. All these business undertakings can be run with minimum capital and comfortably operated from home.
One of the types of running a business from home that is yet to catch the imagination of home-based operators is to set up a “for adults only” coffee stall and snacks centre catering for the needs of special adults only. This requires little space; the front porch of a house can be conveniently converted and designed for the purpose. You need a couple of exclusive tables and comfortable chairs for clients. The main attraction will be foods and drinks that will boost the manly energies of clients.
For this you will require a special coffee premixed with aphrodisiac powder that will turn the person on in the space of half an hour after drinking. Should this effect be experienced after the first drink, you can be sure that the client will be back faster than you can imagine and when words spread around about your specialty, you can expect clients lining up waiting to be serviced in a row. Apart from doing a service to yourself and making good money, you will also be doing a service to adult males who have lost touch with the realities of married sex life. This is a great niche you can undertake when thinking of running a business from home. Gratitude will be experienced all around.
The only thing that may hold you back will be to gain approval from your own family as this business touches on the sensitive issue of sex. Do not let this “negative yellow thinking” prevent you from proceeding with this plan. Pretence will not take anybody anywhere beneficial. Discuss it openly with your family and drop all the pretences and you will have yourself a good if not excellent business opportunity.
With your aphrodisiac coffee drinks as an opener, you can graduate into other food items such as fast foods like beef burgers, fried spaghetti, roasted or fried chicken (home made), and as most people smoke cigarettes, you can include cigarettes too. Why not?
To be successful in the long run running a business form home, you must always remember that you must maintain the quality of your product. Any drop in quality will slowly diminish the number of your clients accordingly. Pay careful attention to this aspect. Maintain excellent services and also attempt to upgrade the quality of your products as well as your customer relations and customer services. This may sound trivial to amateurs but believe me, there is nothing that will drive customers away from your stall faster than bad customer relations and bad customer services. Try as far as possible to attend to your customers personally because assistants would not care a dime about customer services as long as they are paid wages. So there is no alternative but for you to do it yourself. Maybe your family can help you in this.

Generating New Network Marketing Leads
During the past year, one woman in southern California has discovered a good deal about generating new network marketing leads. . She has not been part of any MLM marketing scheme. She has not tried to sell any particular product. How then did she come to acquire a keener insight into the generation of new network marketing leads?
About four years ago, the same woman was trying to launch herself on a career in freelance writing. She wanted to see her name on published articles. With that hope in mind, she submitted some articles to a particular website. It was a website that promised to share the articles with the men and women who created the many emailed newsletters.
One of those articles was about her own experiences as the mother of a boy in the local Middle School. The son of the aspiring writer had taken the woodshop course at the Middle School. Because he really liked that course, he often shared with his mother some of the experiences he had had, while learning how to craft wooden creations.
Without giving any thought to the creation of new network marketing leads, the mother and writer had composed a short article about the local wood shop teacher, a man who wanted to be know as “Woody.” About three years after submitting that article to one selected website, the writer began to hear from newsletter writers.
Those newsletter writers appeared to be intent on generating new network marketing leads. They wanted to find woodworking experts who could be mentioned in a newsletter, a newsletter about some area that related to woodworking.
This example reveals some important facts about the generation of new network marketing leads. Obviously, one can locate some leads by reading a newsletter. One can also make contact with potential leads by actually writing for a newsletter.
In fact, diligent use of both reading and writing should always remain among the techniques that are under consideration by anyone who wants to create a longer and stronger marketing network. That diligent use of reading and writing does not need to be confined to the reading and writing of newsletters. .
Suppose that you are an expert in some field, and you want to use your expertise, in order to market a certain product. You might want to read some books by other experts, and then to review those books. Posted reviews can help a marketer to gain exposure. Each person who reads the review becomes another person who might eventually become a marketing lead.
Maybe you do not want to read books and write reviews. Perhaps you would feel ready to stand before an audience. An expert might be called on to lecture on the area of his (or her) expertise. A lecturer gains exposure to a large number of potential marketing leads.
Sometimes an expert has an opportunity to share personally and directly the special knowledge that he (or she) has. This comes about most often, if the expert reaches out to community members.

Weight Loss and Diabetes
In the United States there are 23.6 million children and adults who have diabetes about 7.8% of the population. Here is a fact about diabetes, if a person has a two hour blood glucose level between 140 and 199 they are classified as pre-diabetic, if their levels are higher than 200 they are classified as diabetic. It is the view of this author that many cases of diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes can be prevented by controlling their blood glucose by losing weight.
As I have stated pre-diabetic is a condition where a person is close to being diabetic but cannot be diagnosed as being diabetic because their blood glucose levels are not high enough, but remember they are above normal. There is approximately 57 million Americans who are pre-diabetic on top of the 23. 6 already diagnosed. So as you can see this is quite a problem in the United States alone. If you become diabetic yourself this is something to think about. Both men and women diabetics who allow their blood glucose levels to go unchecked are at risk of the following: Heart Disease and Stroke, High Blood Pressure, Blindness, Kidney Disease, Nervous System Damage, Amputations from bad blood circulation, Dental Disease, Pregnancy Complications, and Sexual Dysfunction. All of these occur in many people before they are even diagnosed as diabetic.
All research today, shows that if a person is diagnosed as diabetic the best course of action is for that person to lose weight. Losing weight soon after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes produces lasting benefits, like increased blood flow and circulation, reductions of blood pressure. Losing weight will give a person better control of their blood glucose and decrease the events of having a cardiovascular complications. Also the research tells us that people who lost an average of 9.8 percent of their body weight within a year and a half after diagnosis were better able to achieve their blood glucose and blood pressure goals. What is really neat is that later weight gain does not negate the benefits of the early weight loss. Another point has to be made here.
I was diagnosed in my thirties with diabetes. I weighed 350 pounds, I had blurry vision, numbness in my hands and feet, and my skin hurt all the time. My initial blood glucose levels measured 525. My doctor wanted to put me on insulin right away, but I was afraid of needles and I was able to make a deal with my doctor that if I could lower my blood glucose levels enough I could stay on pill medication. Well, the first thing the nurse told me was to exercise and lose the weight. Three weeks later I had lost 10 pounds and my blood glucose lowered by 35 points. A year later, I weighed 200 pounds and my blood glucose levels were at 120 after eating. I found that weight loss under a good program and exercising kept me from going under the needle, and the lasting benefit of being healthier. For more ideas on losing weight see Strip The Fat

What Makes A Good Press Release And Where To Submit It
Savvy Internet marketers use press releases as a way to increase website visitors and to get their message out to potential customers. There are a few things you should keep in mind that make a successful press release.
In this article we will talk about how to do that and where you should be submitting your press releases after they are written.
1. A very basic thing to keep in mind is you need something to announce when you do a press release. This should be something that adds value to your reader and focuses on a specific theme.
If you've done other forms of Internet marketing such as article marketing think of your press release in terms of keyword phrases that you want to target.
2. To maximize a press release optimize it just like you would a webpage. Target specific keywords and keep them as close to the front and to the left of the press release as possible. If you're unsure about how to do this keep an eye out for press releases you receive from other Internet marketers and pattern yours after the best written ones.
3. Be sure and include a link in your press release where a reader can go to a blog or web page for more information. This should be written in the form of a call to action that instructs them to click on that specific link.
Another good strategy is to offer something for free that would entice them to give you their contact information. You might consider the link in your press release to go to a landing page where they can opt in to your autoresponder for future follow up.
4. Today RSS feeds allow you to syndicate content about your business and get it out in various ways such as PRWeb.com. Other places you can submit your press release to for maximum results include....
- http://www.businesswire.com
- http://i-newswire.com
- http://www.pr.com
- http://www.prleap.com
- http://www.webwire.com
To maximize your marketing efforts you can also take a version of your press release and use it as a blog article. By social bookmarking it to some of the top directories you can receive additional traffic and search engine benefits as well.
It is a good idea to go ahead and rewrite it so that it doesn't appear to be duplicate content that would appear online through one of the services you have submitted it to already. Also give yourself some time between when the press release is being released and when you blog about it so that you again avoid any appearance of duplicate content.
