Your Questions About Doing Business Online World

Jere answers:

Good question. Lots of great offers out there, but the problem is that most are scammers just trying to get your money. I still feel the best way to get a start on the net is a eBay business or starting a simple website for a $0- $50 investment. It has its grief but its a good way to learn how to do business online. The key is to find a good supplier who doesn’t charge an arm and a leg monthy frees to sell their products. They should be happy that you want to sell their products… Who would charge you for being a free saleman for their store? Http://BuyatDiscounts.com on there “about us” page they have lots of free resources and free ebooks to help you get started. I have never seen a website or business care enough to give away information. There is hundreds of dollars of freebies on the site.

If you’re looking for a dropshipper/supplier then http://www.BuyatDiscounts.com is the best free dropshipper out there. Trust me… I paid the stupid scammers hundreds for every list in the world and none were worth a dime. I finally bumped into Buy at Discounts by accident online and was very happy with their service when I did work on eBay. Now I run my own website and I use them to supply my products. So my answer to you is… Yes its worth it because its a great learning tool. You may also want to check out the “about us” page at BuyatDiscounts.com or towards the bottom of the home page for more info on other services and home business ideas. Good luck and Email me if you have any questions.

Green Monkey….
I have tried a few things and it is definitely a different world working at home for yourself versus at a job working under someone else.
The survey thing didn’t pay (I am still owed money from doing them) and even when they do it is very little money for the effort. This was my experience and there very well may be some companies that are better than others. It will just take some homework.
Like the other responder said, avoid things that require you to pay out hundreds or thousands of dollars to get started. This is pretty much a no-brainer for most of us because we simply don’t have that kind of money laying around. However, there is an understanding that to start your own business there will be a start up fee involved or some other form of payment (ie so many qualifying parties or customers).
What I usually recommend is that you look around and find what fits with your personality. Find something that you believe in and then run with it! Everyone should have their own home based business!

You have to discover a niche that people will respond to in either advertisements or subscriptions. My understanding is newspapers are preparing for the online world as subscriptions decline. If your local community doesn’t have a paper but has a strong business community – that might be a niche.

Because the game’s constantly updated and needs to be maintained with server costs and staff etc…
There’s very few online games that are free to play.
Not to mention it’s a business and if they can get your money, why wouldn’t they?

Hi Grace,
Wow… This is a huge question. I don’t really know if 10 or 20 people’s answers here are the best guide for you to then launch into your online business.

I started my first online buisness a few years ago with the most well known world leader in teaching people how to start a successful online business. It’s actually almost best if you don’t have the perfect idea before you start, because all their online powerpoint tutorials teach you about how to brainstorm ideas to end up with the perfect fit for you… Where you know your entire plan and strategy for getting traffic and making financial return even before you start…. And you don’t even need to know how to design a website as you just point and click the mouse to choose colours, drag in photos, add forums, newsletters, writing… All with a click.

It’s worthwhile checking out, even if you just want to look at their free online movies and ebooks. But for $30 a month, it is possibly the very best investment you could ever make. I’ve never looked back and now family and friends have started their own online businesses too!
