This weeks ABC is D for Deep Linking – This means pointing  to the exact page within a web site such as http://www.theabundantallianceblog.com/articles/starting-an-internet-business-home-based-businesses-can-build-you-residual-income-streams-and-passive-wealth, (an example of deep linking.)

One of the hardest parts of any home-based business is learning to negotiate. After all, you set up your business finally expecting to do the things you want to do; perhaps even love to do. And then you are called upon to negotiate; space for your home office, a better deal at the printers, municipality permission to set up your home-storage facilities etc.

Negotiating can be tricky and you may find it hard to figure out where to start. Yet, as a home-business owner, you’ll find negotiations very much a part of your daily set up. Given today’s competitive climate, you can learn something simply by sharpening your negotiation skills.
