About six months ago I realized that I’m finally in a position to start my own home based business, something I’ve been wanting to do for sometime now. Ever since then I’ve been doing research, trying to find the best opportunity for me. I think I’ve finally found what I’ve been looking for. Recently, I read that Americans spend over $46 billion a year buying products that are dispensed through vending machines. This immediately caught my attention so I started looking for the right type of product to vend…and I think I’ve found it. We’ve all been witness to the current upsurge in the popularity of energy supplements, superfoods, and all natural food products. Well I stumbled upon a new product that encompasses all of these rapidly expanding industries - Revive Nature’s Energy Mint. Revive Nature’s Energy Mints contain an all natural energy blend consisting of guarana, green tea, and ginseng as well as today’s most popular and powerful superfoods - acai berry, mangostein, and Goji. The mints are distributed through flashy vending machines that are custom designed for Revive mints. It seems to me that this is about the closest you’ll ever get to a “sure thing”. Not only do Revive Energy Mints give you a long lasting energy boost and the health benefits of some of the world’s most powerful antioxidants, but they also freshen your breath and can be conveniently carried in your purse or pocket. Who wouldn’t want to get their hands on this product? Seriously, you could make a small fortune placing Revive’s vending machines on college campuses, in recreation centers, gyms, bowling alleys, bars, restaurants, health food stores and the like. It’s perfect!

From what I understand, the product is scheduled to hit the market in about a month and the company will be offering distributorship rights to a limited number of people across the U.S. I’ve done a lot of research and this is by far the best opportunity I’ve come across. I plan to get in on the ground floor of this product, as soon as it’s available and before it blows up and everyone has it.

This is exactly what I am doing! I was fed up with the slow revenue growth with Kontera. Until, you have a high traffic website in any niche or some entertainment forums with 1000s of visitors dropping in, it’s very difficult to make money with Kontera. I am not saying it’s very easy with Infolinks as well, but at least it would double up the speed due to good revenue share [upto 80%] and that would make release of your money quicker than Kontera.

I hope you know what these companies are all about! Both of them provide in-text advertising - the ads that pop-up on hovering your mouse over the linked text.

The other day, I was chatting with Enkay on this and he introduced me to Infolinks. Just like him, I also wanted to try it out first and share with you guys. I tried out Infolinks, and I am happy with the CTR and PPC rates.

They are new launch, so you can expect personal attention to you as publisher and as I mentioned better revenue share to beat the tough competition.

The only thing I did not like about it is, their ad targeting is not so targeted yet, most probably due to less number of advertisers in the system. But you guys flood the registration and automatically, more advertisers would enter the space giving better targeted in-text advertising and more revenue.

Still if the quality of ads don’t change, I might give more importance to relevant ads and less revenue. Probably the next post title would look like - Make money with Kontera, dump infolinks?

I have been to many of those car exhibitions or trade shows or home electronics equipments’ exhibitions to name a few, but do we notice everything when we visit such exhibitions? You might or might not have but I had noticed that the products do not get up without the exhibit. Those products that attract your eyes and make you spend some money on it, are not the same you watch in the shop? They are, but they look different in these exhibitions and that’s because of the trade show booths.

So let me take your opinion! What kind of trade show displays you would like to have if it’s your own product and you are show casing it? Never thought of it, right? I gave it a thought.

I would love to have my trade show display look simple and eye-catching. This is what exactly I would describe the look of my trade show graphics. Remember, I have only three or less than three seconds to grab attention of the attendees. Most of them would be under impression that as they use more information and color at the display, the better their chances are of getting people to stop at their booth. There is one thing you must remember when designing your trade show graphics- less is more.

Do you know any companies in this exhibit niche? I know only one, exhibit.com as I had stumbled across their website a while ago. I think that might be the reason I chose the subject to talk about today as it’s different than routine.

Exhibit companies like exhibe.com can aid your company’s position in a challenging and highly competitive business environment like today’s. Exhibit corporation become successful with their services become one stop supplier exhibits and complete accessories to all types of companies who have exhibiting or event needs. For the tight budget businesses, they can also help you achieving your goal in trade shows by providing trade show exhibit rentals. And you know what, it can be best solution that fits in your marketing objectives and specific needs in trade shows. Not only that but it would help your company to have presence of an exhibit for minimal cost.You can visit one of the links in this post or their website directly to check out what all options they have for exhibits. One thing you would notice, that they have their website designed the way I mentioned about my favorite trade show display - Simple, and eye-catching. The graphics in the middle of the page really gives a feel of how my exhibit display would be. But if you have an SEO eye like me, you would notice that the homepage title really should not be the way it is right now. I would put up keywords after my site name, instead of having a whole sentence stuffed in there.

Anyways, that’s not the topic I am talking about today. I wanted to bring up a new website today for you and that I did, now would like to hear about how would you like to have your trade show exhibit.
