Get Paid to Promote Your Business and Make Friends - Apsense


Here is an awesome and exciting community that has made me thousands. If you are like me I like joining communities that will help me make money and build friendships at the same time. The most important part is being able to sign up with no fee involved.

With Apsense, you can actually post ads, write blogs, review other businesses and services, and get paid. You can sign up to be someone's friend and others will request to be yours.

The best part is that everyone in this community helps out the other. So, if you have a business you are promoting send it to some of your friends or simply post a blog. Someone will definitely check out the website.

Here is how it worked for me, in 5 Easy Steps:

STEP 1 - I registered and set up my personal and business profile.
You can register here: http://www.apsense.com

STEP 2 - Then I explored and joined a few APSense interest groups, 
they have so many.

SETP 3 - Then I started writing some useful blogs and group 
discussions content pages.

SETP 4 - In these pages, APSense provides a special Ad Space where 
I posted advertisements for my current business.

SETP 5 - That was it! While I advertised my business, APSense 
was also paying me when people viewed my content pages.


But that's not all, they also paid me when the friends that 
I invited into my network to do the same thing that I'm doing.
Of course, this is one of the reasons why you should 
join my network at APSense.  APSense...
"The business social network that pays you while you make your
business grow." You can thank me later!

So go ahead and see for yourself.

Good luck,

How to Be a Creative Entrepreneur


There’s a great line in Alice in Wonderland when the Queen says, “Sometimes I think of 6 impossible things before breakfast.” I think you’ll agree that this has to be creativity at its best! As a small business owner this is an ideal you really need to strive for … but how on earth can you open up your mind to get to the point where ideas just spill out?

Small business owners are expected to be creative and inventive, otherwise, how could they run their own firms? If you have a sneaky feeling that creativity is not one of your strong points what can you do to stimulate your brain and get it kicked-started?

Be Unlimited

Too many people are ‘limited thinkers’. They have their world placed squarely in a box and nothing can exist outside of that. If the newspaper reports something then it must be right. If Joe next door says that something is impossible then he must be right. As a small business owner, you cannot afford to be a ‘limited thinker’. You have to be an ‘unlimited thinker’. Get into the habit of seeing no boundaries; decide that there are no taboos. Have the belief that with a bit of focus you can find a creative solution to all of your problems. This is the foundation for a creative thought process.

Be Future-Focused

Creative ideas invariably come when you ‘look’ into the future. The feeling of propelling yourself forward and seeing the problem solved is a great motivator. Do you think you could achieve the same result if you were backward-focused? I don’t think so! Train yourself to be future-focused, always looking ahead, not a traditional thinker who tries to find answers in today’s world.

Be a Writer

Once you open your mind to the joys of creating the ideas will quickly start flowing, as if someone has opened the floodgates! Just like flood water, unless you catch it the ideas are lost forever. Capture all your ideas by carrying a small pocket notebook with you. As soon as an idea pops into your mind, write it down. It doesn’t matter how outlandish it is, you can look at it in the cold light of day later on.

The fact you are responding to the ideas by noting them will further encourage you to be even more creative – good deeds encourage more good deeds!

Be Clutter-Free

If you are naturally an untidy person, then get out of the habit! A cluttered office will lead to a cluttered mind. You cannot expect your brain to work efficiently when all it’s doing is constantly reminding you how untidy your office is. To be creative remove all the clutter from your life and free your mind.

Be Action-Oriented

All of these points are great, but if you don’t take any action with your ideas, then you may as well not have bothered. An idea is nothing but a thought unless you take a specific action to help bring it to life. Periodically review your notebook and see if there are any hidden gems or ideas which can be quickly actioned. A lot of your ideas may not suit you at all but in there somewhere is probably an idea, if acted upon, could change you or your business. Commit fully to moving forward on as many of your ideas as you can.

Don’t be afraid to break down the boundary walls. As John Stuart Mill said, “That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in the next.”

Let me close with one question - can you be creative enough to be dismissed as a dreamer? No? Then get practicing!
