Brainstorming new ideas should be on the table. When is the last time that you considered doing brainstorming? What are the possible outcomes? Getting into a place where you can start pushing the boundaries is what brainstorming is all about.
Stepping back and taking a look from a different view point and exploring new directions is a part of the process. What comes into your thinking when you hear the word brainstorming? A room with some chairs and a table. A group of people asking questions. A single person sitting at a table with a pencil and piece of paper.
The ideas can start flowing. Are you going to let the ideas flee away never to return? It can happen with ideas. It happens all the time. One of the ways to make sure the ideas don't go is to record them. Writing the ideas of brainstorming down or recording the brainstorming sessions is key.
How often are you coming up with new ideas? Are you doing the same things over and over without making any progress? Asking more questions and trying new things is just a part of the equation.
Are you using software? Is there a better way to get it done? Should you even be doing it anymore? What are the things that you are doing? There are so many questions to explore.
Brainstorming is thinking. Brainstorming is idea creating. Change your thinking and change your view. Write the brainstorming down.

What is Google Adsense? It is a contextual ad program. You supply the content and google adsense will place ads on your site that are related.
Dust off your writing skills. Write content everyday and write content that is interesting.
Many home office owners have one website. Have you ever thought about creating more than just one site for your home office? This can allow you to go after more niche markets, plus you have more opportunities for placing your google adsense ads.
When you are inside the google adsense dashboard, you will see the opportunity to setup special channels for your ads. This can help you with monitoring your stats. Name your channels and ads to make it easy to identify where the clicks and impressions are coming from.

Wasting Money on Domain Names
Trying to build an online business is interesting. Creating websites, buying domain name, and writing web content are all time consuming but you are looking for the payoff in the end. The idea is to get the ball rolling and get web traffic for your sites. Once the content is created, you have an opportunity to earn income from there on into the future.
Building websites can allow you to make some bad decisions sometimes. There might be a sale on domain names and you decide to invest a few dollars to test out a quick idea. You might not even do any real homework as far as the keyword search count or if it makes any sense at all.
Domain Name Sales
You just know that there is a domain name sale and you don't want to miss out on it. After you finish buying the domain, you have to come up with a way to make it work. What ends up happening is that you don't have a clear strategy and a year passes and nothing has happened with the domain. It seems to happen year after year.
The idea of forwarding the domains to cost per action offers or parking the domain for google income might cross your mind. Sometimes that doesn't even pan out. I guess it really helps to have a plan when it comes to domain names. When those domain name sales come, you can go to your list to see if they are still available and you don't end up making a bad decision.
Domain Name Sales with String Attached
One thing that you have to lookout for with those domain name sales are the fine print details. They might include auto-renewals or special offers of trial products that come with the purchase. When renewal time comes around, you don't want any surprises on your account. Check to see if the auto-renew option is selected for your domains after you have purchased them. Auto-renewal might work for some people but I like to take them off and take my chances. Sometimes you can find renewal codes for domain names and use them to save money. The auto-renew regular prices for domain names can be pricey.
