How To Create An IGoogle Home Page That Helps You Save Time And Make Money

How I Use The IGoogle Customized Home Page

Google gives you the ability to customize your home page and it is absolutely amazing. I did not start using this until a few months ago but now that I do, I will never go back!

Having a customized home page allows you to be more effective, save time, and can even help you make more MONEY!

Here is how my home page is laid out and why:

1. Gmail – I have a box that shows my email that comes in. I can also send email from this very home page.

2. Weather – I have weather showing for my home city as well as cities that I frequently travel to.

3. Date and Time – Self explanatory. You can also add your Google calendar

4. Google Bookmarks – This is NEW and I love it! This allows me to add as many bookmarks as I like and they will show up on my home page. I use this area for those sites that I visit on a regular basis but don’t have the room to add them on my browser’s toolbar. You can even configure these to open in a new window when you click on them.

5. Amazon.com Best Sellers – Great info, ideas, etc.

6. CNN.com – Latest news headlines

7. AP Top Stories Of The Day – Self Explanatory

8. How To Of The Day – Kind of fun. You could also have things like “joke of the day” or “word of the day”, etc.

9. Youtube – Top videos of the day

10. My local movie times

11. Notepad/To-Do List

12. Ebay Search

 

All of this fits very nicely and easily on my home page and there is plenty of room if I want to add more. To add additional things to your home page, you can just click on the “add stuff” icon.

Having a customized home page that shows just the stuff you want to see is a huge time saver and helps make you much more effective. I highly recommend it!

 

To start, go to: http://www.google.com/igoogle to start customizing YOUR home page.  Once you have it just the way you want, there is a link at the bottom that you can click to make it your home page.

Have fun!
