Home Based Business Is A Joke!

12:52 PM |

I found this article, and thought it was well worth sharing

Home Based Business Is A Joke!

The entire idea of home based businesses is a joke to me. Why in God's name does it matter where in the hell business is conducted? For some reason the term home based business has come to mean the idea of living some sort of fantasy life while conducting business out or you home and making a ton of money in the process. How in God's name did this happen? Why has the entire idea of home based businesses become such a joke?
The entire landscape of home business opportunities is full of more snakes than that tomb in the first Indiana Jones movie. There are weasels out there proclaiming that you can have a home business and they will do most of the work for you. All you have to do is by into the "business" and collect the checks. I put the term business in quotes because in the case of 99% of home business opportunities out there the term is used more loosely than a freshly opened can of creamed corn. Honestly, how realistic is it that you can make money with little or no effort? I'll let you in on a little law of the universe…IT'S NOT REALISTIC.
Do you know what's interesting about this? I'm a guy who has a successful home based business. I have a business that I work out of my home, and make money. I simply want people to realize that the fact that the business is conducted out of my home means nothing. It hasn't been "easy" and no one else has done the work for me. This is my point. The idea of a home based business is a joke. It makes no difference where the business is conducted from.

So, as you navigate the mine field known as home based business opportunities, remember: If you don't follow your passion, you're in trouble. You must fell passionately about whatever it is that you do, or what's the point? We all came to this earth to find and fulfill our destiny, and that means that there aren't any shortcuts. And as you tip toe through this mine field, please remember what your Mother told you: If it sounds too good to be true…..IT IS!!!!!

To top it all off, I was straight up with her, and said I didn't have a lot of money to outlay for read more »her services so she set up a payment plan for me, so I can pay her monthly.... Top service Top Business to deal with

“Lynn and her partner revamped my website early in 2007.

Her brief was to give it a new, professional image and adapt for optimum SEO.

I have nothing but praise for the work and subsequent results of these services. From a non-performing website which rarely generated any enquiries and didn't feature high in any search engine rankings I now receive a steady stream of enquiries and subsequent work from the site.

My site is now easy to find through search engines and Google Analytics proves Lynn's SEO does indeed deliver on her promises. Lynn has been invaluable in her advise and ideas in how to promote my business, often going above and beyond the call of duty.

I have recommended Lynn to many of my clients and consider myself fortunate to have found a reliable, honest SEO Consultant who has exceeded my expectations.”

Frontpage to Database Website

3:44 PM |

by Lynn |

I have been working with Canzdesign for a few months now, they have been creating a new website for me. My old one was “home-made” using Frontpage and had hundreds of pages and I was spending more time keeping it updated.

Anything is possible with the SEF CMS website system, and it has taken me a while to fully understand this. I did see the sample websites that they had made for their other clients, but didn’t fully comprehend that the way things are done, and what you see on the site, can be changed and developed to suit your own needs.

This was important to me, as I have been in business for 5 years and have certain ways of doing things.

For example with my website, I wanted all the product categories to be viewable on every page (like my old site did but obviously easier layout with the new CMS system). Because I sell products on my website, it was really important to me that the product pages had very large images and good text.

So they actually customized the product pages for me so that the images were 300x400 and also that little thumbnail pictures of alternative images were viewable, you just hover your mouse over and it shows the bigger picture.

This is a really cool feature, as the person can see more images and angles before deciding to purchase. Some of my products had 10 different photos (or colours) and with the modifications they made for me, all these images were now available.

Because my store has over 300 products, navigation was a real key.

With my old site I just had 5 categories of products, and the store pages had a long list of things available to purchase. But with the new CMS website, we could actually add sub-categories to make it easier for people to find stuff.

This has worked really well. For example instead of just having “Clothing” section of our breastfeeding products, we separated this into Long Sleeve, Short Sleeve, Singlets subcategories.

It was also really important to me that the store had an option to display the prices in different currencies. This has been added now specially for me. The prices are shown in my default currency (New Zealand dollars) and then there is a secondary currency you can choose.

I decided to have US, AUD, Euro – but could have chosen any.

The other thing I have to tell you about Canzdesign is that with the beauty of the internet you can work with anyone anywhere in the world.

I’m in New Zealand and they are in San Diego, but that has not hindered our work at all. It has actually been to my benefit, as when I am doing my work late at night, they are online too.

Sometimes they stay up to the wee hours of the morning when we are going through things together. I can never tell what time it is with them, as they work around the clock it seems, but it has definitely worked to my advantage.

I do recommend the services of Canzdesign very very highly. Choosing to go with them, and the outcome as been very worthwhile for me. This is my beautiful new website they have made for me. Please feel free to contact me if you are not sure about them, or hesitant. I am an independent real life person, and can talk to you.

Now I can spend my time with my family and handling sales which are pouring in since people have seen the new website and sales were good on the old site but this new site is SOOOOOO easy.

SEO for large Website

4:57 PM |

by Lynn |

And SEO quote I did a few months ago, for a 200 page website, that was selling products that cost over $1,000,000 dollars each. The client only wanted people that were ready to buy their products to visit the site.

1. What is SEO and how would affect your website

SEO is a variety of marketing and optimization techniques that bring viable clients to an online business

not to look around but to purchase services or goods.

Some of these techniques are called Onpage SEO:

Onpage SEO is manipulation and fine tuning of the unseen code beneath a webpage. This information an SEO fine tunes tells the search engines and people doing searches for your products what's on a particular webpage.

I write this Onpage code in a very specific way, which highlights some of the list of keywords and key phrases I am working with. This makes every page an entry page into your website and means that your website can appear highly in search engine search results for many phrases instead of only a few which

is what most SEO work towards.

Then there is Offpage SEO optimization and this can mean many, many different things… basically

known as link building in several different ways, and perhaps Pay Per Click(PPC) campaigns, paid

advertising on the types of websites your clients would be going to.

As you said on the phone, you aren't interested in getting visitors who spend all their time at eBay; you

want visitors that are looking to buy your products that cost over 1 million dollars each.

So in this case I would suggest you do pay for advertising in some of the higher income places online, where your customers browse and shop.

Once my SEO changes begin taking affect it will compliment the work your marketing team is doing; think of SEO as an internet based marketing plan that uses very different techniques from traditional market strategies it is all about getting your brand and company recognized.

So the idea wouldn't necessarily be to get clicks and visitors to your site (unless they are buying) , but to get your name being talked about in the right circles. I don't know how much attention your marketing team is paying to the internet at this stage, but it is a very important part of advertising in today's world. I will make your website a good point of introduction into your very specialized product.

What I can do for this website

1. I was mistaken when I first looked at your site, it isn't all flash as I first thought; this is a very good. It

means I can start work and the changes I make will take effect immediately. I should be able to get this

site ranking very highly, within the first 2 or 3 rankings for any given search, although I haven't checked

out your competition yet, I wouldn't think you have a lot of completion.

2. I would first optimize all webpages so the Onpage SEO is relevant to the actual page content; at present,

most of your pages are competing with each other for search rankings.

3. While google is indexing this first round of onsite (another word for Onpage) optimization, I would then

do a lot of research into keywords that it should be optimized for. This entails perhaps 200 hours investigating keywords and the sort of things people search for, and then researching which pages would be best suited for which phrases and then adding to the optimization I first did. Google likes changes on websites, so making website changes close together is a good idea. I would also start some off page optimization; I have staff that does this type of work, who report to me several times a day.

4. All of the wording on the site is very hard to read, as it is stark white on blue; I have someone that could

change this making the words much easier to read. You have a beautiful website but it needs to be a

little more user friendly.

SEO Timeline

First let me say that I spend my whole day on a computer approx 16 hours a day, so if I say I will work on something for 50 hours this doesn't mean it will take 8 days to do; it would be more like 3½ days. I work 7 days a week, totally addicted to my work; I'm mobility disabled, and don't have a life away from the computer. ☺ I wasn't quite sure how to set out this quote, as I have no idea of your budget.

The site seems to have a few problems that visitors will encounter, especially with the Navigation, and I would have them seen to immediately.

1. The first thing I would do is analyze the current website statistics (if they have any), see where your website visitors are coming from and how they are arriving at your website. We need to have a thorough understanding of where we are at so we can see where we have to go. If you don't currently have access to website statistics, the first thing I would need to do is add Google Analytics code (we will get Analytics working for you anyway, but it is vital I get a good idea of the type of traffic your site is generating.

2. The initial Onpage SEO: for approximately 40 webpages 20‐25 hours.

3. Search engine submission, Google and yahoo sitemaps, general Offpage optimizations 40 hours

4. Approx 200 hours researching keywords and website analyses, adding to the Onpage Meta material 100 hours researching the advertising campaign your marketing team establishes and perhaps complimenting their work with SEO tactics. 80‐120 hours: starting a link building campaign, using several different techniques and strategies.

5. 30‐50 hours handling anything as it comes up

6. Total Approx 500 hours 7‐8 weeks

It doesn't sound much, but that would take approx 6‐7 weeks to complete full time work, although results would start to show with a couple of weeks for a site like yours, that is a mature site.

It isn't advantageous to have too many links to a website appearing too quickly so link building would carry on for several months and rather than work on getting thousands of useless links, I'd suggest paying for a few good links that will help your pages ranking in google in the short term.

Ongoing work on a monthly basis should be seriously considered for at least 6 months after the initial

SEO work is done. This SEO work includes link building, constant (daily checking of statistics) and making changes or tweaking the Onpage optimization as required. Collating and submitting a month report, as to what's happening with the site, and perhaps meeting with the marketing dept to discuss any new marketing strategies they maybe implementing; so I can see that the website is optimized correctly for the people that maybe searching for the site.

This work would average out to about 3‐5 hours a day, so 120 hours a month, for 6 months.

Cost of SEO: I generally say that as a rule of thumb, that 10% of the yearly advertising budget should be spent on SEO. However this won't be necessary for this project.

Initial SEO Approx 500 hours 7‐8 weeks

‐ $37,500 2 payments 1 month apart $20,000 then $17.500

Ongoing SEO.

120 hours per month for 6 extra months = 720 hours

‐ $54,000 $9,000 per month Starting on the 3rd month after initial SEO is paid for.

Or $7700 per month for a year, and changing the monthly SEO to 60 hours per month.

Rebuilding Updating a big website and SEO costs less

3:04 PM |

by Lynn |

I had a quote request this morning to rebuild a hand built website of over 1000 webpages, pages were built in a number of different programs including several versions of Corel WordPerfect and Frontpage

Rebuilding a large hand-built website onto an easier to manage CMS website can seem to the website owner a daunting prospect, but can cost much less than you would expect. Especially if the owner wants to help out with moving pages from the old site to the new website and they usually do want to stay in control of their website.

Review for Rebuilding a 700 page E-commerce website built in frontpage into a new CMS

This was the reply I sent for rebuilding and doing SEO for a 1000+ website.

Hi Grace.

I’m Lynny the SEO for CANZ Design.

With the very limited information you have here and on the quote request, and looking at your site in Google, it looks as though you have about 1090 pages indexed by Google, and perhaps more not yet found.

I can see that one problem you have is lack of navigation on the site only links back to the home page. Still someone has worked long and hard on your site, how many visitors are you receiving now each month?

It would be irresponsible to give you a accurate quote for both the rebuilding and the SEO we'd need to discuss more, exactly what, if anything you are wanting to do to help, someone has worked hard on this site and maybe happy to carry on working. We have a website that would allow you and your staff to add pages yourself with ease,(CMS) and in fact we have just finished a website of 1700 pages, the owner did most of that work transferring pages from her old site herself.

You maybe interested in reading that clients review of the site http://canzdesign.blogspot.com/2009/09/review-for-content-managment-system-cms.html her site sells breastfeeding products and has breastfeeding advice.

Do you sell products, or would you like to sell products, we have a store module that works with PayPal.

Oddly enough, the SEO would be easier and cheaper than you would think for a very large site. Depending on the keywords and how competitive those keywords are.

In Saying that, a ballpark figure to rebuild the site could cost as little $3000 if you and staff did a lot of copy and pasting or as much as $25,000 (for 1090 pages) if we did everything ourselves, we could do the site ourselves in as little as a 4-6 weeks, perhaps less. We have staff we can call on to help.

We’d build the site on our servers, and move it to your hosting severs when everything is done so your website won’t be down for any longer than an hour in the changeover. The redirects from existing webpages would take a little longer, as they need to be done once the site is live.

SEO for the site again depending on the keywords and how competitive they are, could cost as anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 but more likely closer to $12,000, SEO doesn’t require any help on your part, but the cost depends on the results you want to achieve … $12,000 which is what I usually charge for a 40-60 page website. I’d suggest starting with $12,000 and seeing what that achieves in a couple of months after the site goes live, and look at more if necessary. We could discuss this more during construction.

We do offer payment plans especially for the SEO to spread payments out over 6-12-18 months if more intensive work is required.

This will give you a starting point costwise, as I’m sure you have to talk to others.

Review for Content Managment System CMS

2:09 AM |

by Lynn |

Review: For CANZ Designs Search Engine Friendly – Content Management System SEF-CMS

I have been working with Canz Design for the past few months, getting my new CMS site ready. My previous website was something I’d done myself, and had been using for the past 5 years, but it was reaching its limit because it was such a manual process for me to add new pages or new products. It was very time consuming and labour intensive to create the pages so that the side links would all update, and I would have to check my emails daily just incase a product had sold out, and would then have to update my website. I always had ideas on articles to write, and pages that my customers would fine useful, but it was always such a time consuming process.

I have been helping create the pages for the new site, and transferring everything over from my old site. But in the process, I added 1,000 extra pages of useful content because it was just so easy to make new pages. Even easier than writing blog posts. So my page number has increased from 700 to 1700 since the new CMS site is loaded. I am sure this will really help my google ranking – but will update you on that in a few months.

With the new CMS site I love how the menus are so easy to change, and navigation around the site is very easy for the shopper. But its also really easy for me to keep all my pages neatly filed in the different folders.

Canz design worked with me tirelessly to get the right look for the site. This was something that I was very conscious of, and wanted the site to look 100% perfect. To tie in with the image of my brand and existing use of colours.

Its been one week since we launched the new baby. I’ve definitely noticed an increase in the sale of obscure little products, the things that were slow sellers with my old site. It was probably because no body could find them or knew that I sold them. A lot of these “obscure” things, I have actually added as a small thumbnail “related product” at the bottom of popular pages, and it has helped increase the Add on Sales. Its really easy to do these things with the new site.

Preparing the new site beforehand did take a while, but there was plenty of opportunity for me to learn how the new system worked. Canzdesign loaded everything onto a temporary server for me, so that every page could be fully tested before we transferred it over. Then the transfer process took less than an hour, I was really surprised. It was almost like ‘click the switch’ and the new website was loaded. Not a single customer was inconvenienced.

I was initially quite dubious about changing to a new CMS site, but this has really made my life easier and I can see the benefits for the future. Although it has only been one week here are a couple of examples:

A supplier notified me on Friday that they were discounting products by 25% for 72 hours. I decided to pass on the savings to my customers. Within 60 minutes I had discounted all the prices for about 40 products (of their brand) on the website, contacted my database of 7,000 to tell them about the quick sale, checked all stock available. Then my family and I actually went to Rotorua for the weekend, and I had no computer access. With my old website, I would have had to update the store pages when a certain size had sold out, to ensure that noone else would purchase it (so I had to be around whenever there was a web sale). But with the new CMS site, if a size sells out, it just drops out. So I did not need to worry about this at all. And just came home to lots of orders to pack.

Another example, is for some of my products we have lots of different spare parts available. With my old site, I just had a long list of the parts available and people would email me for a quotation. This was purely because the thought of loading all those separate products into my old store was daunting, and I was too lazy. But today I loaded the popular spare parts, it was painless. This was something that I should have done at least two years ago, but had never got around too. Now people can just buy them online, and they don’t need to email me about it. So this will cut down on my workload too.

I’ll give you another update after we settle in, as it has only been a week.

Visit my new website and take a look.

Great SEO costs more than $1000

11:09 AM |

by Lynn |

Getting great results in search engines for relevant keywords for your business, which is what good SEO means, isn't something you can expect to pay one $1000 for.

But even if you are looking at say a budget of $5000-$10,000 for your business website to rank well in google, for many keywords/phrases, depending on the type of business you have and your competition you still can't expect your website to rank #1 for a single word or even 2 word searches.

I can't count the number of times I have had a client say they want to rank #1 for some generic word/s like Cars, motel, bar or real estate, and they are willing to pay $500 .... sorry, it aint going to happen.

Not even for 1000 x that budget, well ok, maybe half a million dollars it might be possible depending on the word, but it isn't going to happen overnight, not even in 6 months. In saying that, in Australian Google one of my clients ranks #3 for the keyword gemstones, but still wikipedia gets 1st and 2nd place.

That same client does rank #1 and #2 for just the word gemstones if you do the www.google.com.au pages from Australia search Check here This site gets about 500 visitors a month for just the word.

This client has held these positions for the word gemstones for over 5 years after I finished doing her website optimization. At the time her optimization cost around $2500 I think. Even so, the word gemstones is a lot easier to optimize a site for, in a country specific search engine than if the site sold cars, or had a motel.

In general if you want to play with the big kids on the block in a search engine, you have to pay your SEO for the hugh amount of work they are going to have to do to get your site ranking that highly.

On the other hand for an odd word like Canz our businessname a search in google.com will see our sites ranking 3rd and 4th, thats not a lot of good to us, unless someone remembers out business name though huh.

Ruling Google for some keywords

10:50 AM |

Gone are the days when SEO meant just having 1 link to your website on the front page of google for some keyword/phrase.

For a few years now, I have been working on having maybe 3 or 4(sometimes 8 out of 10) links at least within those 1st 10 placements on the first page of google. Imagine a potential client or customers reaction when they see your businessname listed in places 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, or 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th and 10th on the first page of google.

Getting results like this isn't easy, but it is doable, I have done it for 4 businesses in '09 plus our own websites for various phrases. If an estimated 89% of people click on a link, and spend money, on a result in the first page of google search results, then you increase your chances of getting someone $$ dramatically.

You're investment in these sort of results isn't going to be $1000, or even $5000, but if you are serious about your business, you could spend more than that on a full page newspaper add, that only seen for one day.

I'm talking about being right there, in front of customers eyes 24/7 Worth thinking about for a serious business huh
