WAH Network - Welcome

The WAH Network has always been a dream of mine, a means for me to GIVE BACK. A site that will be helpful to Stay at Home Mom's and Dad's or anyone who is in search of work at home business ventures or for those who have started a home based business whether on or off line.

Creating a site that will provide valuable information on how to start a home business; grow and enhance it as well as learn how to market and advertise are important aspects in every business.

As a web developer and a graphics designer with hundreds of resources, I have created the Ryze WAH Network Forum as my "Give Back Program". Knowledge is power but I believe in sharing and helping those who may not know their way around the internet or know where to get the resources.

 

I've had visitors of my sites give me a call asking for help on starting a home business or is something they signed up for really legitimate.  I don't mind spending a few hours on the phone with my visitors and providing direction and help with what they are trying to start or accomplish.  I've been told that I calm their fears about starting a home business and my detailed explanations of how the internet works become less frightening once I've broken things down to a more understandable and doable set up.  Do I ever hear from them again, sometimes, a few email messages and I guess they're off doing what they set up to do.  That's what I hope for anyway.  Free phone consultation and yes, I've even provided free website consultations.  Just my nature to share, mind you my online ventures is to help add to our income but sometimes the rewards for providing help is very gratifying. 

Some would say I'm crazy, it's a cut throat world out there for business. Why share the information when you can charge for it?! What is the sense in doing business if you don't charge enough for the service? Well, I don't do it because I have to, I do it because I can! If people were more like Angels, Earth would be more like heaven, don't you think?

 

This site is created for those who are seriously in search of a home business venture as well as to help those that have already started one.  If you've landed on this site, you'll like the resources provided for members.

Based on my own experience there really isn't such a thing as a home business advertising or marketing budget. Most start up home businesses usually are ran on a hope and a prayer, per se. Money spent is usually money saved from other expenses.

Creating a business online is yet another daunting and sometime very frustrating experience. Hire a web developer sure, but will your site be seen? What if you want to fire your web designer? How do you create your own website? What tools do you need? What does it take to get your site on the search engines? How to you market or advertise on a low or almost nonexistent budget? Been there done that.

 

One of the reasons why I became a web developer is to provide services that Mom's with families can afford so they can actually make money with their online home business ventures.  However, unlike many of my competitors, I am not a glorified graphic designer.  Anyone can slap together a website, but is it search engine friendly and created for the targeted site visitors.  One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing the horrible stories of women being taken advantage of by "web designers".  Face it ladies, many of us come online and we no nothing about the computer let alone creating websites and oh my God, what the heck has my business got to do with search engines!!!  A lot!  If you're going to do business online, you need to learn how to create and/or at least maintain your own website.  I have never been a follower, I don't believe in charging an arm an a leg because I have the talent to do something.  Plus I enjoy helping those that really need the help.  Now I'm not talking about someone who wants help but expects you to do it all for them because they don't understand.  This site is created to help those who want to help themselves.  You can create a site as well as any web designer if you are willing to learn.  The internet is filled with resources, however, in time this site will provide you all that you need.  I will teach you what I've learned and even provide you with resources to help you along.  Become a member of this site and be as active as a bee and you will soon get your just desserts!

Members of the Ryze WAH Network will gain marketing and advertising privileges as well as receive graphic creations. I own numerous domains, host websites, even offer FREE WAH Web Hosting and own hundreds of resources which I am willing to share with my deserving members.  I may change this rule down the road and provide all the benefits for site members that I provide for my Ryze forum members.  This rule is not etched in stone and I reserve the right to change my mind as needed :)

The WAH Network is just being created, so if you are interested, you can become a member of my newly created Ryze WAH Network Forum and receive information as this site and the pages for the Network is created or you can create your Free Membership and start creating your Blog and using the tools that are slowly being added.

Please note: You must sign up for a Free Membership at Ryze in order to become a member of my WAH Network Forum at Ryze.

Sign up for membership on this site as well as a member of my Ryze WAH Network Forum will give you the best of both worlds.  Lots of information, resources and freebies to help you with your work at home business venture.

I will provide information on where I get a lot of my products for free. I've been online for a long time, I've amassed several thousand dollars worth of products, many free and some purchased at the pre-launch pricing or through fire sales as well as through numerous paid membership sites. I have subscriptions to Internet Guru's newsletters who are always great at providing freebies for their loyal subscribers. One of my closest friend asked me where to do I get them. Every time she's asked if I had something I usually had it. When you're in the right place at the right time, things happen. Are you in the right place at the right time?

 

Knowledge is Power, but it is best when shared! However, a teacher can only teach if a question is asked.

 

How to Build a Website to Sell Your Niche Product or Service

The most effective way to sell your niche product or service is to build a niche mini site, which in its simplest form has only three pages:

- A sales page

- A payment processing page

- A thank you / download / order fulfillment page

Let’s take a look at each of these pages:

1) The sales page.

How to Select a Web Host for Your Niche Site

The success of your niche website is going to depend to a large degree on the quality of web hosting your choose for your website. In much the same way a store owners success is dependant on the stores location, so your choice of a web host will affect the success of your niche site.

Don't be fooled into thinking decisions should be cost related... you can get very expensive hosting from John Doe in Timbucktwo but his servers are old, can only handle limited traffic and the link between him and the outside world is shaky at best.

How to Choose a Sales Pulling Domain Name

Why settle for second best with a meaningless domain name when you could easily find a sales pulling domain name for any website that sells a product or service?

A good domain name that describes your product or service gives it credibility, for example www.goldjewlery.com looks professional, is descriptive and easy to remember. Compare that to www.geocities.com/jewelry/gold.html...
