Have You Ever Configured Your Browser's Proxy Setting?
When you surf through the internet, you leave a mark on every website that you visit. This takes off a certain level of your privacy. The mark that you leave behind is your IP address.
Due to internet security as well as business wise, the internet allows you to browse anonymously by using proxy.
The first time that I heard about it, I didn’t pay so much attention. Recently, a friend of mine… knowing that I am usually on the internet, asked me about proxy. It was hard instructing them how to do it over the phone.
I know that there are a lot of video on how to configure proxy setting but I wanted to make it a bit personal…
Here’s a video that I have created on how to set up the proxy on Mozilla browser.

Your Computer And Your Online Business
I have been writing before about things on how to start an internet business. Looking back, I realized that there is one thing that I have left out and it’s the most important… in fact the very first thing that one should have to have an online business. You’re right… the computer!
Your computer is the first thing that you must have and your first tangible asset when it comes to having an online business. Taking care of it is as important as taking care of your internet business.
I remember when I first started my online business. What I have is a laptop. It was handy having one for my internet business since I can bring it anywhere. It never crossed my mind that it will one day cause me trouble. It crashed! How careless and negligent have I been that I never had a back up of my files!
Anyway, here are the things that I learn from that experience.

Anyway, here are the things that I learn from that experience.
- Always have a back up for all important files.
- Have a spare unit so that when one crashes, you still have another.
I know those are very common but when you are new to the internet business... that is you don’t even know the meaning of SERP or SEO, these are things you would likely overlook since when it comes to articles and blog about internet business, computers are not much talked about.

Brainstorming For My Internet Business Vision
One of the important things that you have to establish when starting up an internet business is visions. These visions will determine where your business will be in the next years to come.
This visions will actually be your guide and will help you be focused. It is your business map. You will not be successful if you do not have vision.
You don't just state a vision and simply say... My vision is to have an internet business and earn money. Whoah! That's not how it is done.
Your vision needs to be specific. You should make it clear what you want to attain, how you will attain it and when is your targetted time.
Don't make visions that you know is impossible to attain. Make it realistic and attainable. Setting it too high and not realizing it will make it a "dream" and not a vision.
If you think you are having difficulty on this, brainstorm with your friends, business partners... be resourceful!

My Experience With Google Chrome
One of the things that I usually do before I do tasks for my internet business is to visit the blogs that I have for my daily google alert. I do this to get me updated on things that are related to my whatever I am interested in.
I love reading other people’s blog since I get to have different views from different people, although there are times when I get to read the very same post in different website. Here’s one blog that I have read, it’s from Chris.
On his video, he introduced MSE 360. I wanted to try it but when I visited it, it was not functional and I only got “Major Update Coming Soon”. Maybe I’ll try it again some other time.
He also mentioned using google chrome. I used it before but decided to uninstall it when I noticed that it affected my browsing using Mozilla. It was weird. After that, I haven’t tried installing google chrome again.
I’ve been using Mozilla and I am really satisfied with it. I seldom use IE, I find pages slow to load when I use IE. Anyway, just like what Chris said on that video,the choice is always up to you.

Roboform : A Must Have Software When You’re Into Internet Business
Once you decided to engage on internet business, there will always be a necessity for you to join and sign up accounts with different websites. Signing up can be very tedious. The filling out of different forms as well as keeping track of all the passwords can eat up your time.
Previously, I kept a spreadsheet were I keep all the website information, from the log in URL to the log in information. I kept the record for over a year. It was a file I always have with me. I tend to forget passwords and I couldn’t also risk using a single password for my accounts so I find it crucial to have a record of it.
Finally, a friend of mine who have been working on the internet introduced Roboform which I didn’t use until recently. I had this attitude of sticking into what I am already used to. Now, looking back at it, it was foolish of me not to take advantage of what Roboform offers.
Roboform is a software that saves log in information as well as other data. You can download roboform for free here and upgrade to Pro Version later. I would very much love to write the features here but it is best presented in their site.
What I like most with Roboform is that it only takes a click to go to my site and I don’t need to open my spreadsheet to go to the websites that I have account with.

An Internet Business Through Affiliate Marketing
The best way to start an internet business is by affiliate marketing. This is where many internet marketers earn a lot of money.
I am not saying that it is easy. I personally believe that there is no easy and short cut way to earn money. It takes hard work and dedication. Just like any other business, you need to have a set of realistic and achievable goals on affiliate marketing coupled with proven internet marketing strategies to make it to success.
Now, when we talk about affiliate marketing, there are three basic elements that you need. These are the product to promote, the affiliate link and lastly the place to promote.
You can choose any product that offers affiliate program. There are a lot out there. The product should be related to your chosen niche. Let’s say, if you knew you’re good at designing and maintaining blogs, you can promote Woothemes since this is related to web designing.
The next thing is your affiliate link. How and where do you get this? As we have mentioned, you need to promote a product and most products has affiliate programs. All you need to do to get an affiliate link is to sign up on the products affiliate program and presto!... you will be provided with an affiliate link. This link is what you will use to promote your product.
Not all websites welcomes affiliate links. In fact there are websites who loath over those who put affiliate links on their posts, shouts and status messages. Promoting is actually extensive that I think I need to have a separate entry for it. Just the same, I will have to say that the best place for promotion is on your own website.
There are a lot of other things that you need to know with affiliate marketing. Those who were before me have written many things but I believe that I too have something to say from my experience… Keep on visiting my blog for more information to come.

The Need To Train Yourself For Internet Business
I always believe that I need enough knowledge before doing anything. Of course, you can’t get perfection for the first time but getting knowledge spares you from creating unwanted results.
Since I wanted to start an internet business, I decided to enroll on trainings. There are paid trainings and there are free. I use both, I believe I can always get great tips even from free trainings.
I like to read but I love to listen more. I have this tendency to skip some lines when I’m reading especially when I am in a hurry that is why, I prefer to listen. Listening to training materials and watching videos are time consuming but I found this great player that can make my listening and watching faster and still understand every single word that is being said.
If you are like me, who values time you will like VLC. Check it out and try it. It is totally free and I find it very handy.
You can download it here.
