Confirmed: Employees Are Productive When Working From Home

Canadian telecom giant TELUS recently commissioned a survey targeted at over 1000+ employees to study their opinions and attitudes on flexible work. The results were promising:

47% of respondents work remotely at least a few times a month46% of workplaces currently offer a flexible working program89% of employees agreed that allowing for flexible work makes a company more attractive to work forThe majority of respondents say they are just as productive (48%) or more productive (39%) when working outside the office

These statistics do a great job of speaking to the growing trend of telecommuting. Given WhyDoWork.com provides a hub for those who work from home to share information, find flexible work, and connect with other telecommuters, that’s good news for us!

Fast Money Tool, A New Site for Writers, and an Announcement

One of our longest time members Marc Meole, let me know about a new tool he’s created called The Fast Money Tool to help you achieve what the product name promises; fast money. Given Marc has been a member here for over 5 years and has a great reputation he’s already earned my trust, but I thought I’d outline some of the features here in case anyone out there was looking for some help in making money online.

According to Marc, “I’ve been working online for about 7 years now. Mainly niche/affiliate marketing. I’ve been a software developer for about 9 years…Never put the 2 of them together until the past couple years. My wife had some health issues and I needed to do a lot more around the house (we have 4 daughters and we home school). Family comes first and they needed my attention… So business started to suffer. I needed to come up with a way to research, create, promote, etc all while spending half the time online I used to, and that’s how the Fast Money Tool was born”.

The tool itself is made up of several smaller tools, which all work together to help both seasoned veterans and newbies alike:

Niche Research (7 Top Research Tools)Finding free content ( 4 Places To Find Totally Free Content)Creating a site (Track Your Free Site or Paid Hosting)Keyword Research (Keyword Analyzing Tool)Analyzing Your Competition (See What Your Competition Looks Like)Finding the top places to promote (Promotion Tool Will Guide You to Countless Places to Promote Your Product)

If that sounds good to you, you can get your copy here. There’s a 30 day money back guarantee and it costs $25.

Since I’m feeling in a promotional mood, I was also alerted about a new site for freelance writers that just launched called BagAWriter. It’s got everything you’d expect from similar freelance sites; profiles, a bidding system, and a chat option for employers to discuss projects with prospective writers. One part of the site I liked was the “Student Centre”, where students can get online tutoring at a fixed rate. There’s a few projects listed on there now so if you’re into writing, check it out.

Announcement-wise, I was just reviewing our latest job application stats, and in the last 30 day period we finally crossed an important milestone:

Over 500 job seekers applied to positions through whydowork and 52 were hired!

The more employers we can connect our site visitors with the better, and 500 in 30 days is a great milestone for us. 52/500 isn’t half bad either (over 10% of applicants were successful).
If you are interested in freelance or work at home jobs, we have a great work at home jobs search engine and offer guides and tips to help you land the job.

Great (Free) Book on Career Development: Own Your Future

The best things in life are always free, right? That theory went out the window when I started looking for ocean front property. One great thing you can get for free, right now, is the book Own Your Future: Update Your Skills with Resources and Career Ideas from Microsoft. You’re probably thinking it’s a ploy by Microsoft to get you to use their products, but I’ve read all 112 pages, and it’s a great set of information for both new grads, and those looking for help in charting out an existing career path. Microsoft tools and resources are mentioned where appropriate, but it’s jam packed with helpful information.

How a New Feature in Google Webmaster Tools Can Make You More Money

Last week I logged into Google Webmaster Tools and noticed something different; the keyword report now showed how many impressions, clicks, and your average position in Google search results worldwide.

Cross section this information with data in Google Analytics, and it’s a goldmine. I’ll show you!

First you need to choose something on your site you’d like to improve. A key source of revenue for WhyDoWork.com are our work at home job listings. Improving traffic to this area of the site will result in more revenue (more traffic = more money).

With that in mind, I logged into Google Analytics and looked at the top referring keyword to the jobs page this week. It turns out a lot of traffic to that specific was coming from search engines for the keyword “data entry jobs”. Here’s a screenshot:

click to enlarge

Next, I want to see some details on how we actually rank for that, and related terms in Google. This used to be a challenging metric to pull, but it’s easy now in Google Webmaster Tools. All I did to generate the report below is search for the text “data entry”:

click to enlarge

Based on the screenshot above, you can see that in the last week we’ve appeared in search results 720 times for the keyword “data entry online jobs”, but only had a click through rate of 13%. It’s likely low because in the last column you can see that our average rank on Google is position 7.8 (likely most often the 8th result on page 1). If we were ranked #1, we’d still get 720 impressions, but our click through rate would be extremely high.

Look a few rows down and you can see that “captcha data entry” has generated almost as many clicks, with only about a sixth of the impressions. Since we’re ranked 3.4 on average, this might be a search term worth working on our ranking for.

Using the above tools in combination can help you find relationships between data on your own sites, and hopefully use that to understand what key terms you should be optimizing for maximum traffic; and we all know my favorite formula:

more traffic = more dollars $

How to Strike it Rich in 2011

How many of us have made the following type of comments: ‘Why didn’t I buy a great domain name back in 1996?’,  ’Why didn’t I start a money making website in 1999?’ , ‘This sucks! All the good ideas are already taken!!’ Sure, the people who did those things are wealthy now, but while some people complained about missing the boat, others have built a new one and the smart people got on board. For example, in 2004 Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook and then in 2007 another gentelman created Zynga (owner of popular Facebook apps such as Farmville). Trust me there will always be room for new innovations.

With the Internet rapidly evolving, it is so important to stay current, read about trends, and proactively think of where the next opportunities exist. I have personally run businesses that were very successful at the time but are now totally abandoned. At one point I’ve sold pop under ads, bought expired domains, ranked tops in the Yahoo Directory, and others, all completely irrelevant in today’s Internet world. In the meantime I’ve shifted my efforts to stay current. Last year I created a Daily Deals website (a niche that has exploded since) and am working on some totally customized Facebook Connect integrations.

One thing that I will admit is that the opportunities are not as easy as it once was. In the early 2000s I created all my own websites (simple HTML and php).  Now I outsource all my development and focus my efforts on design and marketing. The technologies used to compete today have gotten quite a bit more advanced, however the ease of outsourcing has gotten substantially easier and cheaper so don’t be intimidated by it.

So where do I think the next big ideas will come from? Here is my list of the hottest places to focus your efforts in 2011:

Google TV (Apps) – I really believe this is going to be huge in a few years and now is the time to start coming up with some creating applications to creatively merge together the TV and Internet.Social Media Promotion – This one is really on fire right now and it may be only a temporary market but there is a huge desire for people to grow their social exposure. I’ve seen a lot of sites emerging that allow you to buy facebook fans and twitter followers, and guess what. They are raking it in.Facebook Connect – It’s time to take your current site and figure out how to integrate with Facebook and Twitter. I’m not talking about setting up the obligatory pages but building in real value added integration that allows people to seamlessly share content on your site with their facebook friends.Blackberry / Android Tablet (Apps) – While there is still opporunties with the Apple iPad, that niche is becoming saturated. The Blackberry and Android tablets might be a better place to look.

Have any ideas to add to the list?

If You’re in LA This Weekend…

It would be worth checking out the Work at Home Business Expo set for November 13-14 in Pomona, CA.  Keynote Speakers, such as Dr. Laura Schlessinger, will be attending the event to give key advice to attendees who either already have an at home business or are looking to start.

According to the July 2010 Kiplinger Letter, more than half of all small businesses are run from owners’ homes. Moreover, 6.6 million of them supply 50% or more of the household income. This is in a large part due to the advances in technology which gives business owners a global reach while saving money on rent overhead.

For those who have been previously hesitant to invest in home based programs, the WaHB Expo gives an opportunity to meet company representatives face to face.

Admissions is $10 or $8 advance online, and children 12 and under are free. The admission fee can be applied to an investment in a Home Based Business program, product, or service with participating exhibitors making the event entirely free to the public. For more information visit www.wahbexpo.com

When I’m Rich, I’m Going to Do X

I read an interesting post last week and wanted to share the message with you. Think about the title of this post. Have you ever caught yourself saying or thinking along these lines?

These often grand dreams are tough to see to fruition, so X doesn’t happen all that often. “When I lose a little more weight I’ll start X”, “When I’m not so busy at work we’ll take that trip to X”, “When I’m more settled in I’ll stop X”;  there’s always a condition holding you back from X.

What’s the solution?

Remove the first half of whatever statement you’re hanging onto and just do X. If for example you’re waiting to have money so you can move to france and become a painter, do something on a smaller scale that brings you some personal satisfaction like taking an art class at a local studio.

Hang on to your old outlook, and you risk life chugging along uneventfully as you wait for a circumstance that might never come. The present is all you’ve got!

When to Leave a Job

I sometimes get asked about managing one’s career. Today I came across a blog post that has many of the same ideas and advice I pass on to others. While I don’t agree with everything on the list, there are a particular few I think are vital:

If you aren’t being challenged in your job – leave.If you think you are successful – leave and find something or somewhere where you aren’t. When you become successful again – leave again.If your work is winning awards and it feels like you win most pitches – leave and go somewhere where no one has won anything and there is a low rate of success at pitches. Help them turn it around.

Now you might be saying, “but Matt I have kids to feed and billz to pay! I can’t just quit my job!” The word ‘leave’ doesn’t necessarily mean quit. If you’ve mastered the role you’re working in, it’s a good time to think about moving laterally within the same company, taking on more responsibility, or transferring to another department.

The #1 lesson here is do not get lazy. If you’re not pushing yourself at work, you’re not growing your career.

Why You Need to Optimize for Bing

For those of you with a good memory and those that follow uber geek news you may recall an agreement about a year ago where the Microsoft Bing search engine would start powering the Yahoo search results.

The driver behind the agreement is to release the burden of Yahoo competing head to head with Google in search technology, allowing them to focus on what they do best; providing a content portal and selling ads.  From Microsoft’s standpoint they are committed to making the investment in search technology and this provides another source of revenue and traffic for them.  I see this as a win-win for both companies and webmasters alike, who have one less search engine to worry about.

More recently there has been an announcement of layoffs of Yahoo! Search staff which leads us to speculate the transition to Bing search results is imminent.

Most webmasters heavily rely on Google traffic and rarely even consider the optimization effort for other search engines.  This has been a fine strategy but if you are not thinking about this transition you may wake up to a decrease in search traffic.  Another point of interest is that Bing has been gaining market share and may become increasingly relevant.

Here is a breakdown of market share:

Google Sites 63.70%Yahoo! Sites 18.30%Microsoft Sites 12.10%

For WhyDoWork here is a breakdown of our search traffic:

Google 91.28%Yahoo 4.14%Bing 1.69%Other 6.27%

Now in theory you may assume that after the switch we will see 5.83% bing traffic but this is not necessarily the case.  If we rank poorly in Bing relatively to our competitors we will see a decrease in search traffic after the switch.  If we rank better relatively to our competitors in Bing we will see an increase.

Truthfully the answer is that the same techniques used in determining your Google ranking is conceptually the same as what determines your Bing ranking [backlinks, keyword optimization, meta tags, title tags, url keywords, etc].  If you would like to read about this theory here is a detailed analysis from SEOMoz, the webs authority in SEO.

Not really.  While your conceptual website design and SEO techniques should be the same there are things you can do above and beyond.  A great technique is to run search query tests for main keywords and deep links for search terms you expect to rank well for.  See where you rank and analyse the people who are higher in the rankings then you.  What are they doing different?

The Open Site Explorer is my favorite tool for this type of investigation.  Check out your competitors backlinks vs your own.  Maybe it will give you some tips.

Good Luck!

WhipCar Is a Clever Business Idea and Why This Blog has Been a Ghost Town

First off, I can’t believe I haven’t made a blog post since June. It’s been over 3 months! I had quite a busy summer; did some travelling, switched careers entirely and joined a great company that rhymes with the word moogle, and started working on a new web service. My old routines have been completely 360'd but I’m starting to get back into the groove and hopefully I’ll be posting more in the coming months.

On to the clever business idea. A few years ago I remember a home business where you “got paid to drive your car” by volunteering to have it plastered with ads for a company. The idea had potential but never reached any kind of mass tipping point. A reader alerted me to a business he launched in London this year called WhipCar. With WhipCar, the world’s first neighbour-to-neighbour car rental service, you can now rent the cars that are sitting idle on your street. The service is growing fast and already in over 300 towns and cities across the UK. It’s just like a car club but free to join and about making better use of the cars that are already sitting idle on your street.

Here’s an overview of how it works:

This is a great idea. I just recently signed up for ZipCar after I sold my beloved corvette and I love how this new service takes a distributed, leaner approach to the whole car sharing business vs. taking on the liability for an entire vehicle fleet like ZipCar.

With respect to liability and insurance, WhipCar take care of everything including screening of drivers, and also handles payment back to owners. According to the sites founder,  there are thousands of WhipCar members across the country and many owners are making several hundred pounds (dollars for the rest of us) every month.

If you live in the UK and this peaks your interest,  you can find out how much your car could make with the service simply enter your number plate and postal code details here for a personal rental estimation. Once you register with the service they send you a personalised pack in the post with materials to help you promote your car in the local area.

Sounds like a great business idea to me, hopefully they bring the business to North America soon!
