<p>What is it?<br />
Facebook is a <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/social_network_service" title="Social network service" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network_service">social networking website</a> launched on February 4, 2004. The free-access <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/website" title="Website" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website">website</a> is privately owned and operated by Facebook, Inc. &#8230; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook</p>
<p>See the latest news from Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/facebook?ref=pf</p>
<p>Why should I have one?<br />
Facebook is a powerful tool for marketing, networking, and meeting people for business.If it wasn’t for <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/facebook" title="Facebook" rel="homepage" href="http://facebook.com/">FaceBook</a>, I wouldn’t have met nearly half the people I have met to become Joint Ventures with in business. What I liked about Facebook from <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/myspace" title="MySpace" rel="homepage" href="http://myspace.com/">MySpace</a> was the quality of people. They seem to be a more professional looking network. A ton of realtors who are now tapping into the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/web_2_0" title="Web 2.0" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0">web2.0</a> world are on Facebook and my experience working with them, share that Facebook has been instrumental in meeting other realtors, and or possibly selling homes. I like that Facebook doesn’t allow us to &#8220;customize&#8221; our backgrounds which can sometimes take away from the person, business if it&#8217;s too distracting with images, colors, etc&#8230; Facebook is simple and user friendly. I have met some of the most amazing people here and continue to do so.</p>
<p>What separates FaceBook from other social media sites?<br />
MySpace was the &#8220;hottest&#8221; and fastest growing social media site. We could be unique with our profiles through customizing our backgrounds to fit any industry. But did you know, that Facebook started before MySpace? Yes, but MySpace got bought out which led it to explode in terms of advertising.</p>
<p>MySpace is still GREAT! I think it’s even greater if you’re in the music industry. I think what happened was the &#8220;spamming&#8221; epidemic started happening on MySpace. Network marketers were frowned upon if you had an account on MySpace. And we are always searching for the next biggest thing with an audience. Somewhere along the way, people started migrating over to Facebook and it has taken off from there. However, unlike MySpace which allows you to have unlimited amount of friends, Facebook obviously only allows us 5,000. In my personal opinion I think that is ok. Again, we can always create a &#8220;page</p>
<p>I think what marketers are missing&#8230; and this could be lucrative for you, is they completely ignore the network and possible leads to still have on MySpace because people assume they have to do all their networking on Facebook now. The problem is, is that EVERYONE, and is at Facebook now. KEEP your MySpace account. Keep building your network on MySpace. And keep active in posting bulletins, blogs, and more on your MySpace. There are still millions to meet, network, and potentially JOIN your team. Think outside the box: where is everyone at? (Facebook), yup competing with each other, no one’s on MySpace, so if you think differently, there are still a TON of fresh new leads for you every day on MySpace!</p>
<p>What are some features people miss on the profiles?<br />
Did you know there are 4 <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/rss" title="RSS" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS">RSS</a> feeds that can be burned from anyone’s profile? Yup! Not too many people know this. You can burn feeds for the Notes, links, posts, status updates. When you burn these feeds, they become live in the search engines and pushed further.</p>
<p>What are the benefits to creating my own &#8220;page&#8221;?<br />
Again, because Facebook limits us to 5,000 friends, people are now tapping into the trend of starting their own &#8220;page&#8221;. This was originally for businesses and musicians, since the profile was intended for personal only. So now, to get from the limits of 5,000 start your &#8220;page&#8221; and start building your network into the thousands.</p>
<p>What are the best applications to have installed on my profile?</p>
<p>There are hundreds of applications to chose from. But when thinking about installing applications on your Facebook, think about the objectives you plan to use them. You also want to think of what the most effective ones to use are, and how to use and set them up accordingly.</p>
<p>In network marketing, I have found these very basic applications are the only ones we need to get the job done. Just keep it simple as possible.</p>
<p><a class="zem_slink freebase/en/twitter" title="Twitter" rel="homepage" href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a><br />
Share what’s happening on twitter to your Facebook. NOTE: if you have friendfeed settings set to deliver feeds to Facebook and other networks, DO NOT activate the &#8220;allow twitter to update your Facebook status&#8221;. You don’t want to have double the posts on your Facebook wall. http://apps.facebook.com/twitter</p>
<p>Friendfeed<br />
When this is activated with Facebook, you are allowing <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/friendfeed" title="FriendFeed" rel="homepage" href="http://friendfeed.com/">FriendFeed</a> to publish updates from the sites you have added on your FriendFeed account to your Facebook wall. Warning: If you have this activated, do not have your Twitter settings &#8220;to allow twitter to publish updates coming from twitter&#8221;. Reason is, it will post twice. So what I do is let FriendFeed publish everything. When you make an update on twitter, FriendFeed will post it on your Facebook coming from twitter. When you post a new video on <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/youtube" title="YouTube" rel="homepage" href="http://www.youtube.com/">YouTube</a>, FriendFeed will publish it on your Facebook. Etc&#8230; http://apps.facebook.com/friendfeed</p>
<p><a class="zem_slink" title="Ping.fm" rel="homepage" href="http://ping.fm/">Ping.fm</a>:<br />
Another &#8220;hub network&#8221;. Post micro postings to ping.fm and let ping distribute the same micro post out to your other networks. So instead of posting on twitter, then going to Facebook posting the same update status, then going to MySpace posting the update status, just post to ping.fm and it will post everywhere for you. http://apps.facebook.com/pingdotfm</p>
<p>Profile html<br />
Because Facebook doesn’t allow us to &#8220;spice&#8221; up our page like MySpace, there is an application where you can add &#8220;html&#8221; for small banners, or what I do is use the html codes for icons showing MySpace, twitter, YouTube, and a blog. http://apps.facebook.com/profile_html</p>
<p>RSS http://apps.facebook.com/blogrssreader<br />
Show your network what is going on other networks through rss feeds. Enter in other network feeds to show on your wall when you update those sites with information. Show feeds from your blog, twitter, FriendFeed, others blogs, YouTube, MySpace and more. Everything you update one of those sites, the rss automatically gets updates as well.</p>
<p>YouTube badge: Share your current videos on your FaceBook profile wall. Show up to 8 videos. Every time you post a new video, it will rotate through this badge. http://apps.facebook.com/youtubebadge</p>
<p>Skype widget<br />
This is a great tool to have if you use Skype like I do to stay connected with people. And it’s a great way to get people to be added to your network. Once in your network and they have Skype too, you can easily add people or call them directly from your facebook. http://apps.facebook.com/skypeapp/?ref=ts</p>
<p>Unique web profile address<br />
Facebook gives an enormous URL link which can be too long. This application allows you to create your own unique short URL for your profile, group, and pages. EX: http://profile.to/imgroupmktg is the URL for my FaceBook profile. Go here http://apps.facebook.com/webaddress to get your unique addresses.</p>
<p>Joining groups</p>
<p>Joining groups is great for many reasons. If you join the right group, you can receive some valuable tips and information to help your business or networking. Most groups I see have a group for the sole purpose of sharing tips and tricks to help people.</p>
<p>It’s also a great way to get people to friend request you. I know allot of people will build their profile network by going to the groups network and friend requesting from there.</p>
<p>If the group allows you to post links, post on their walls, videos then it’s another great way to get your information out to a larger audience that isn’t or wouldn’t be in your profile list of friends. I see many groups that allow their members to post their business links. WARNING: do not post in multiple group walls over and over again. Facebook now has a system within the site that can detect when someone is OVER posting considering it &#8220;spam&#8221; and will immediately shut your profile down. So be Mindful when doing so.</p>
<p>Go, CREATE YOUR OWN GROUP<br />
Starting your own group is a great way of meeting new people, sharing YOUR own unique experiences, tips, marketing expertise, and more. Not to mention, this is a valuable tool in reaching a larger audience ALL at once by having the admin privileges of being able to send MASS messages all at once to each of your members. For EX: In the diagram&#8230; <strong>Learn More about Social Networking at Instant Sales System: click on the banner.</strong></p>

<p>Twitter Overview</p>
<p>Top Marketers know that Twitter is THE social networking tool that can do so much to build their business. So what is Twitter?</p>
<p>Twitter is a social networking tool (it’s free) that allows you to post 140 character messages anytime to your &#8220;Followers&#8221; (list). It is easy to create a huge list of &#8220;Followers&#8221; (we’ll show you how with the tools below) so that you can have a lot of exposure to your business.</p>
<p>Twitter also has a &#8220;Search&#8221; tool that allows you to do searches on anything and save your searches. For example, you can do a search to learn about competitors, prospects, a specific topic or anything. You can even save up to 10 search terms so that you can quickly do a new search on a topic you search frequently.</p>
<p>Let’s say you want to see what &#8220;tweets&#8221; (term for Twitter messages) people are posting for the term &#8220;home based business&#8221;. You would simply type in &#8220;home based business&#8221; (include the quotation marks if you want the entire phrase searched) and you’ll immediately see the search results for people who have posted a message (tweet) that included that term.</p>
<p>The power of searching on Twitter is that you can find people in real time talking about virtually any topic, and add them to your &#8220;Followers&#8221; list.</p>
<p>If you don’t have a Twitter account, go to <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/twitter" title="Twitter" rel="homepage" href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter.com</a> to sign up for one right now. Once you sign up, make sure you create a Username (you can edit it later so don’t worry about it when you get started) that will motivate people to click on your username to go to your account. For example, &#8220;SuccessfulStayAtHomeMom” or something like that.</p>
<p>Once you sign up, you want to add your picture and a bio about yourself which you can do from the &#8220;Settings&#8221; link at the top of the page. Make sure you include a link to your website in the Bio about yourself which you can find once you click on the Settings link.</p>
<p>Once you have set up your account (including your picture and bio that includes a link to your website) then as an option (but it will help) you want to set up a professional Twitter background with free tools like www.twitbacks.com or www.mytweetspace.com.</p>
<p>Then go to<span style="color: #ffff00;"><span style="color: #ffff00;"> <a href="http://www.socialoomph.com/91701.html" target="_blank">www.tweetlater.com</a></span> </span>to use an amazing free service that will allow you to send automated welcome messages to new followers and create settings that will automatically follow those who follow you or &#8220;unfollow&#8221; (stop following) those who do not follow you.</p>
<p>The goal of Twitter is to build a large list (followers) and then send them valuable content on a regular basis so they see you as a valuable person. When that happens, they are much more likely to click on a link to go to your website when you send them a link to it.</p>
<p>A way to share valuable content with others is to go to <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/google" title="Google" rel="homepage" href="http://google.com/">Google</a> <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/google_reader" title="Google Reader" rel="homepage" href="http://www.google.com/reader">Reader</a> which you can find at www.google.com/reader.</p>
<p>Google Reader will allow you to find up to the moment very valuable information on any topic that you can then easily send to your Twitter Followers. We’ll create a video for you on how to do this but for now, want you to get the vision that you can first go to Google Reader, find valuable information, click on a link and then forward it to your Twitter followers.</p>
<p>Without knowing it, your followers will think you are an expert at whatever content you are sending them.</p>
<p>Other important things to know about Twitter, DO NOT SPAM … meaning if you are only telling people about your business all the time, they will stop following you. Your success with Twitter is dependent upon your ability to share valuable content and information with your network. Some things that people like to know about included:</p>
<p>* Important News<br />
* Something Funny<br />
* Something Educational<br />
* Something that helps them grow their business<br />
* Many other topics (just get creative and on Google Reader you can search for topics to subscribe to and receive the latest information on any topic).</p>

<p><strong>The Perfect Mastermind is coming!</strong></p>
<p>As we mentioned previously, we are so happy to have Perfect Networker Fuzzy Manning as new Director of Perfect Networker’s Perfect Mastermind! This project has been gaining interest with every passing day and we are so happy to have heard from all the Perfect Networker’s who are interested in facilitating one of the beta groups! We have heard from quite a few people, but we would love to get a few more on board for the launch! Fuzzy is working on a powerpoint presentation as we speak that will be part of a webinar launching in early February. Only those who have expressed interest will be invited. If you are interested in facilitating your own Perfect Mastermind Group (position includes FREE membership as long as you are a facilitator) email <a href="mailto:Mac@PerfectNetworker.com" target="_blank">Mac@PerfectNetworker.com</a></p>
<p><strong>More tips!</strong></p>
<p>We got some great feedback from our PN tips last week, so here are a few more:</p>
<p><strong><em>PN Tip1:Don’t sell…build relationships!</em></strong></p>
<p>How many times have you gotten a message or an email from someone who basically wants to just pitch their product? What is your reaction? If it is anything like most people’s, you probably don’t take kindly to the solicitation. However, if you take the time to get to know someone, they are more than happy to find out more about what you do. Focus on the relationship and the sales AND referrals will come. Focus on what is important to others and they will ask about what is important to you.</p>
<p><strong><em>PN Tip1: If you want to network with them, bring em to the party?</em></strong></p>
<p>Question: What is the easiest and cheapest way to ensure you stay in contact with everyone in your network? Answer: Bring them to Perfect Networker! If your most valuable contacts are in our community, you can stay in touch with them each and every day! Make sure to invite those you care about. When they come aboard, ask others to welcome them and make them feel at home. You will do more business, get and give more referrals, and exchange more ideas if all your contacts are in ONE place…why not make it the friendliest most open network around?</p>
<p><strong>Ok, that’s all for now, thanks so much for helping to make Perfect Networker the incredible community that it is…we are so happy to have each and every one of you aboard and are so excited about the new developments to come, and we know you will love them as well! Till next time!</strong></p>

<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>It is the American dream, to own our own business, be our own boss, answer to no one but ourselves. But starting your own business can be very costly. Here are five business opportunities with low start up costs that almost anyone can start.</p>
<p>Online Auctions- Auction sites can be used to sell arts and crafts, clothing and/or unwanted household items, or brand new items. It is easy to set up an auction on these sites and the seller does not have to have a lot of experience to get started.</p>
<p>If you are interested in selling new items, you can either find a supplier and keep stock of the items that you are selling, or you can find a legitimate drop shipper who will ship the products directly to customers. Many people make a living by browsing thrift stores and yard sales for the latest in brand name clothing and accessories and reselling them on auction sites for a hefty profit.</p>
<p>Errand Running Business- If you have time and a vehicle, you can start a business by offering to run errands for others who are not able to do so themselves. Put an ad in the local newspaper and/or radio station and put up fliers at doctor’s offices, businesses, grocery stores, etc. The elderly and working professionals often do not have a way to run their errands or time to do so and would gladly pay you pick up dinner, dry cleaning, walk the dog, etc.</p>
<p>Organization Professional- Are you a neat freak? Does everything in your house have to be in its designated place? Then why not use your obsession to help others find a place for their possessions? Have professional business cards printed, put an ad in the paper and on your local radio station, and offer to do a few home organizations for free to friends and neighbors in exchange for a good reference. Once word spreads that you are offering to help others get organized, the phone calls may start rolling in.</p>

 Changes to Employment Insurance for the Self-Employed
As a self-employed individual, your contribution to Canada&#8217;s economy is important. Everybody wins when you choose to enjoy the benefits of creative freedom, the challenge and the self-satisfaction that often comes with self-employment.
It has no doubt crossed your mind that the lack of financial security can make self-employment <a href="http://www.welcometofreedom.biz/2010/01/changes-to-employment-insurance-for-the-self-employed/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p> Changes to Employment Insurance for the Self-Employed</p>
<p>As a self-employed individual, your contribution to Canada&#8217;s economy is important. Everybody wins when you choose to enjoy the benefits of creative freedom, the challenge and the self-satisfaction that often comes with self-employment.</p>
<p>It has no doubt crossed your mind that the lack of financial security can make self-employment less appealing. To encourage self-employment, the Government of Canada hopes to tackle at least some deterrents by introducing the Fairness for the Self-Employed Act.</p>
<p>Through the proposed legislation (the Act), you, as a self-employed Canadian, could choose to participate in the employment insurance (EI) program and become eligible for the same special benefits currently available to salaried employees. This includes:</p>
<p>        * maternity benefits (15 weeks maximum), which are available to birth mothers and cover the period surrounding birth (a claim can start up to 8 weeks before the expected birth date);<br />
        * parental/adoptive benefits (35 weeks maximum), which are available to biological or adoptive parents while they are caring for a newborn or newly adopted child, and may be taken by either parent or shared between them (if parents choose to share these benefits, only one waiting period must be served);<br />
        * sickness benefits (15 weeks maximum), which may be paid to a person who is unable to work because of sickness, injury or quarantine; and<br />
        * compassionate care benefits (6 weeks maximum), which may be paid to persons who need to be away from work temporarily to provide care or support to a family member who is gravely ill with a significant risk of death.</p>
<p>Quebec Residents</p>
<p>If you are self-employed and you live in Quebec, you would continue to be eligible for maternity and parental benefits through the Quebec Parental Insurance Program for the Self-Employed Worker. In addition, you would become eligible to take advantage of the sickness and compassionate care benefits through the Government of Canada&#8217;s employment insurance. If you chose to take advantage of the program, you would pay EI premiums at the same rates as employees in Quebec, where rates have already been lowered to take into account the provincial maternity and parental benefit plan.</p>
<p>Find out more</p>
<p>    * As a self-employed person, you may want to find out more about the introduction of the Fairness for the Self-Employed Act by reading the news release posted November 3, 2009 http://news.gc.ca/web/article-eng.do?nid=493319<br />
    * You can find out about current employment insurance as it applies to the self-employed, farmers, and independent workers by visiting http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/ei/information/self_employed.shtml<br />

<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>No matter what you do, there will always be nay-sayers out there to stand in your way. There is always going to be someone there telling you that you can&#8217;t accomplish your goal. The only person that can decide whether or not you can do it is you. Don&#8217;t let people tell you that you can&#8217;t get or don&#8217;t deserve what you want.</p>
<p>What Do Nay-Sayers Say?</p>
<p>Nay-sayers will usually say things such as this:</p>
<p>-You can&#8217;t do it.</p>
<p>-It&#8217;s too hard.</p>
<p>-You&#8217;re wasting your time.</p>
<p>-Why don&#8217;t you try this? You&#8217;ll be better at it.</p>
<p>-That won&#8217;t work.</p>
<p>-You&#8217;re going to fail.</p>
<p>Any negative comment someone makes toward something that you&#8217;re passionate about is going to stand in your way only if you let it. If you think &#8216;well, everybody&#8217;s telling me I can&#8217;t, so I guess I can&#8217;t., you&#8217;re letting their words get to you. When you think &#8216;Hey, I&#8217;m the only one in charge of what I can and can&#8217;t accomplish, and I&#8217;m going to make it no matter what they say.&#8217;, it&#8217;s a much more positive direction to go. These people will tell you that they&#8217;re looking out for you and that they only want and know what&#8217;s best for you, but you&#8217;re the one that truly knows. </p>
<p>This ties in directly with working online. People will be there to tell you I tried it and it didn&#8217;t  work. It won&#8217;t work for you either. Wrong. Every situation is different. You determine your online success. As long as you do the right things at the right time, you&#8217;ll do fine. You&#8217;ve got to persevere and keep trying no matter how many times you are knocked down. Your first attempt at online success may not be perfect, but it will be an opportunity to learn something that you should do differently.</p>
<p>People fail online due to not trying hard enough and giving up when it gets tough. These folks truly aren&#8217;t cut out for online success because there will be ups and downs no matter which way you go. More people fail because of flaws made in their first online business. This is normal&#8211;many people do not make it the first time. The ones who get up and dust themselves off and try it again are the ones that find success. It&#8217;s not just going to come to them overnight, and they will always have people there telling them &#8216;I told you it wouldn&#8217;t work. They don&#8217;t listen to these people. They know that they&#8217;re the ones who can tell themselves that their idea will work if they keep at it.</p>
<p>When it seems like no one is backing you up and everyone is telling you that you will fail, it does make things harder because you seem to be all on your own. There still are people out there willing to help, though. People get put down and discouraged every day, and if nothing else, that sometimes is their biggest incentive to make it online because they&#8217;ve got something to throw back at the negativity. They&#8217;ve got success and no one can take it away.</p>

<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>One of the most difficult things to do when you start a new business is putting together a budget. Without any financial history on which to base income and expenses, it may seem like guesswork, but as part of any business plan a tentative budget can be established with some thought and anticipation for the future.</p>
<p>In most businesses there are two main categories, income and expense. Under your expense category there can be several sub-categories often falling into two main areas of controllable expenses and uncontrollable. While many business owner claim they can control every expense involved in their business, they are simply kidding themselves as some things such as utility cost, the amount of rent and other so-called fixed costs can, and do change, with the owner having no control.</p>
<p>Other expenses such as payroll, insurance and advertising can be subject to a budget, but they are considered controllable expenses. If the business begins to fall off, you can control some of these expenses by laying off employees and cutting back on advertising. However, living by a budget will help maintain profitability in many respects but can also turn against you in the long run.</p>
<p>Depending on the viability of your business it often is a better investment to bite the financial bullet on employee wages and still provide good customer service to the remaining customers until business picks back up. By trying to everything yourself not only will you burn out quickly, but is no one is taking care of the customers, it will not take long until there are no more customers to care for.</p>
<p>There are two ways to budget your business money and that is through set dollar amounts and percentage of income. Many businesses will budget their controllable expenses by the dollar and non-controllable by percentage of income. Obviously a good part of the owner’s time is going to be based on bringing money into the business and how much they have to spend on controllable expenses will be in direct relation to income.</p>
<p>For example, a company earning $20,000 a month in income has budgeted six percent for payroll, providing $1,200 for payroll. If the income level rises to $50,000 the budgeted payroll percent does not change but the dollars available for payroll climbs to $3,000. With an obvious increase in business to create the additional income, the owner will probably need the extra help to take care of business.</p>
<p>There are many other expenses that fall into the payroll account such as worker’s compensation charges, Social Security tax paid by the employer and paid vacation time or other perks determined by the employer. While a budget may be difficult to establish for a new business, it is a necessary evil for all business owners.</p>
