_____ EDITOR'S RAMBLINGS ___________________

A warm welcome from Heidi and Dave to our new subscribers.

Phew!  We made it through this Christmas season in our home.  
Actually, this was one of the more enjoyable holiday's we've 
had.  Each of the children got a new instrument and we filled 
our home with music.  We also took the children to four 
different music concerts in the past several weeks.  It has 
been invigorating!

Dave and I hope you have taken some time during the holidays 
to spend quality time with your families and to simply change 
gears.  If you are chained to your office all day, not only 
will you begin to resent your business, but your family and 
friends will too.  Lock your office door for a full 6 hours 
one day this week and don't go near it.  You'll be glad you did.

On a humorous note, Dave has been cleaning out tons of old 
equipment that we had stored away.  Looking at technology from 
just a few years ago compared to what we have today is 
laughable.  Our seven-year-old son is very electronically-
minded and has been taking apart our antiquated computers in 
order to save the parts to make robots...486 computers with 
200 meg hard drives.  Yikes!

We've come a long way, baby!

Now, our two HP Laser Jet printers...that's a whole other 
story.  They just keep ticking and ticking.  Dave looked at 
the dates they were purchased, one in '93 and the other in 
'94.  They work just as well today as the day we purchased 
them.  No complaints here.

How has your equipment held up?  Tell us what you've had to 
replace and what keeps working for you.  We'll share your info 
with everyone.  mailto:Editor@HomeBusinessOnline.com

Pass this newsletter on to your friends and associates.  Let 
them know you sent it.

Remember, we read every email from our subscribers, so send 
'em our way!

_____ HOLIDAYS ACTIVITY REPORT ____________

In last week's featured article (view it online at 
http://www.homebusinessonline.com/ezine/hbb/011219.html#feature ), 
Dave and I discussed what the week before December 25th and 
the following two weeks would bring and some ways you could 
best use them for your business.

Now is an excellent time to purchase advertising.  Not only 
can you get some very good deals, but it puts you in an 
excellent position to take advantage of the back-to-business-
as-usual rush later next week.  There are excellent 
advertising opportunities.  Take advantage of them.  We've put 
quite a few up ourselves on eBay at:
http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=
ViewListedItems&userid=homebusinessonline_com

Thus far, our site's stats have followed quite closely with 
what we had said in last week's issue.  Here are some 
interesting stats, some that might surprise you:

Where we usually receive an average of 28 new subscribers per 
day, our stats went slowly down beginning one week before 
Christmas.  There was a huge drop in traffic to our website as 
well as a major drop in subscribers (only 6 per day) on 
Saturday and Sunday.  On Monday, the day before Christmas, 
things picked up slightly, with a noticeable rise on Christmas 
day.  Then, the day after Christmas (Wednesday) we were back 
to normal with 27 new subscribers.  Today will be a very good 
day.  It is not quite 5 pm and already we have 28 new 
subscribers (will probably end the day with around 36).

The moral of the story is, "Business does not have to sag just 
because it is the holidays."  Some retail sites will see a lag 
throughout this week, but many others will not.

a lot of money on products that do them no good.  If you are 
in this position, we truly understand your frustration.

With this in mind, we have created a page or two, and only 
two products that we feel will help those of you who are new

_____ FEATURED ARTICLE _____________________

NOTE to our wonderful community of subscribers:
This short article is about you...yes, you!  Please feel free 
to share the below short article with your own subscribers.

          You Can Do It, I Know You Can!

Here we are facing a new year.  There will be plenty of advice 
given you for making New Year's resolutions, plenty of 
articles on how to make money this coming year.

But, I'm not interested in those resolutions today.  No, all I 
can think of at this moment is you.

Like myself, you are probably in the frame of mind of 
reminiscing the past year.  Perhaps you see yourself as a 
dismal failure, perhaps as a glowing success.

But, however, you see yourself at this moment, there is one 
thing, and only one thing I want to tell you now...

"You can do it.  I know you can!"

Have you had failed businesses?  So what.  So have I.
Have you wasted money on useless products?  I have too.
Have you wanted to venture out into a business but were too 
afraid to try?  Been there, done that.

The point is, you're not alone.  What's important from this 
day on is not what you've done or haven't done, but what 
you've learned from your past.  Will you take those failures 
and successes and allow them to take you in positive 
directions?

I know you will.

Many will tell you it is a tough time to venture out and start 
a business.  To that I say, "Humbug!"

This is as good a time as any to pave your own success.  Great 
things can happen to you this year.

I know they can.

2002 is your year.  Run with it.  Make it happen.

Your appreciation makes all the work we do worthwhile...

  "Hi Guys,

  "Wanted to let you know that your Newsletter is the ONLY one 
  I read from top to bottom!  As an Internet marketer, lots 
  of so-called newsletters congregate at my inbox.
  
  "HomeBizBytes is refreshing, informative and honest.  The
