Welcome From Your Publisher...
===============================================================
Hi, and welcome everyone. I am sorry that I won't be
able to get out a big anniversary issue. I have been very sick
last week and my husband was in the hospital last week. He is
doing better but the last thing I had to think about was
getting an anniversary issue out.
Sometimes real life gets in the way of your internet life and
you have to put your priorities into perspective.
So yes this is the last issue of MIBW for quite a while.
I have a lot of things to do in the meantime, such as giving
birth LOL I am not due until April so I have some time to get
some things together online.
I will be moving hosts, changing up the sites, writing and more
writing:)
I will leave you with two of my previous articles that were
very popular and still circulating online today.
I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving and their holidays,
no matter what you celebrate.
But don't worry I will be back soon.
Thank you for a great 3 year run, now it is time to take a
break
Have a great week everyone
The solo ads will finish up next week then the list is deleted.

Re-Invent Yourself!
===============================================================
By Donesia Muhammad Copyright (c) 2002 KDM Publishing
SAY IT WITH ME
" No more complaining about what I cant do and focus on what I
can.."
If something is not working,
RE-INVENT YOURSELF !
As the internet grows, so should your business. You have to be
ready for change and go with the flow.
Before you think you're ready to pack it in, have you really
tried everything?
Maybe you're in the wrong field. Are you doing what you want to
do or what you think will make the most money?
There is a heavy market out there that is probably congested
enough as is, do you need the stress?
Sometimes it boils down to creating your niche. Bad cliché, but
true.
Look at your website as a visitor looking to buy. Check over
each page. Devote a certain amount of time each week or at
whatever schedule you want, to examine each page for spelling
errors, form errors, broken links, add some meta tags.
Do a search for other websites in your field. Find out what
makes them different from yours. Read articles, and learn what
is working and what isn't. Is this something you can do in the
long run, or this just a flavor of the month business? Here
today, gone tomorrow!
If it doesn't work out can you pick yourself back up and start
again, or is the financial strain too much?
Don't you have a million ebooks stored on your hard drive. Have
you even read any of them or did you just want the resell
rights?
There is so much information in those ebooks. The answer could
be right there and you don't even realize it.
My site is fairly new, so these are the things that I am doing
now so it is always a work in progress.
ACCESSORIZE YOUR PAGE
This is something that I am currently doing. If you are like
most of us, you are with a few affiliate programs, but
sometimes, you just don't know how to promote them all and make
a profit.
TARGET THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM ACCORDING TO THE PAGE
If you have an article on cgi-scripts, make a link to an ebook
or hard copy book that is related to cgi scripts. Or add a
banner to a site that specializes in cgi scripts. You get the
idea..
Most retail, discount and supermarkets advertise this way.
You can call this a smart of categorizing your products and
services.
Trust me you will always be a work in progress, but that can
also be the fun part too. Don't give up yet. There are days
when I just think that this isn't going to work and boom, I get
a compliment or double the sales from the day before, and you
just perk up again.
It does get better. I believe that for myself, you should do
the same.

JUST IN CASE: What Biz Emergencies Are You Prepared For?
===============================================================
By Donesia Muhammad Copyright (c) 2002 KDM Publishing
Everyone knows life is always full of unexpected surprises.
Some Good, Some Bad..
But no matter how severe or how simple an emergency, it still
messes up your daily routine. So you have to be prepared to
handle certain emergencies that are just a part of life.
We all get sick, or maybe your children has a mild illness.
What if one day a thunder storm knocks out not only the power
but everything plugged into that source. Are you prepared to
deal with the loss of your computer??
Who Can You Turn To If You Have To Take A Hiatus From Your
Business?
These are just some of the problems that you may face at any
time or any place.
DID YOU BURY YOUR COMPUTER TODAY??
What can you do if your pc crashes ? If it is still fixable
then you can take it to the repair shop or if you have the
money available, you can just buy another one..
But since money doesn't grow on trees, there are some simple
solutions to deal with a missing computer.
Duh, Use a Friends Computer
Technology is becoming cheaper these days, therefore every
where you turn someone owns a computer these days, so you can
always ask a friend or relative for the use of their computer.
If that is not an option or they just told you No, plain and
simple..
You can always go to the Public Library.
Free, Free, and Free. There, enough said..
You can also check in on some deals to rent a computer for the
time being. In the long run, it can add up, but if you are
debating between the loss of potential sales because you are
not able to process orders, or receive important email, then
yes this will be money well spent.
It doesn't matter how brilliant or how stupid your online
business plan is, if you don't have a computer, you have sort
of thrown yourself out of the game before you even had a chance
to pitch.
DO YOU HAVE A BIZ BUDDY??
If you have to handle an emergency out of town or need to be
hospitalized for any reason whatsoever, can someone else handle
your business until you are better?
Maybe Your Spouse Or A Good Friend?
Now since our business seems fairly high tech to everyone else,
your biz buddy would have to someone you would trust with your
email, your passwords, access to your website control panel.
You know those little things
Your Biz Buddy shouldn't be someone you have exchanged two
emails with and figure that you really know this person.
Some of the best friendships have been those that were formed
online, even relationships.
But especially Business Relationships have really took off
online.
Always have a backup Owner.
Sounds funny but depending on the nature of your business, the
reality is customers and clients can only wait so long.
It is good to have at least someone who may be able to
--Publish An Issue Or Two
---Answer Email
----Make Changes To Your Website
---Process Orders For You
JUST SOME PLAIN 'OL BACK UP ADVICE
These emergencies are more common.
Loss of files, and programs in your computer.
While we have to deal with viruses on a daily basis, just a
simple backing up of our files will save you hours of endless
frustration.
Whether you have a cd-rewrite able drive, or a bunch of floppy
disks, online storage or just have everything printed out, how
can you protect your files and business without a back up.
If one of your business plans didn't work out, what would you
do?
Give up, because that was the only plan you had, or just came
up with a back up plan.
See...
The whole point of this is to get you to realize that although
emergencies come up that are unavoidable, you can still prepare
yourself
JUST IN CASE..
