Your Questions About Business Online

Chris asks…

What is a good online business school?

I have 3 young children and want to go back to school. Spending alot of time in a classroom is difficult as I would have to have multiple babysitters.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good, Online, business school?
Katie P, Sylvan Learning Center is a tutoring place for children.

Jere answers:

There are many, many online business programs out there. As far as recognition, people outside of the education and HR realms sometimes confuse online degrees with fraudalent or easy degrees.

1st of all, any program you enter should be regionally accredited. Regional accreditation shows that the school has passed a review process that will help ensure that your credits will transfer to other schools and that you are eligible to sit for licensing exams such as the CPA, CMA, etc.

Regional accreditation will also qualify for military and governmental guidelines. Be sure to check here before you enroll: http://www.chea.org/search/

Regionally accredited Online degrees are the same accreditation as other schools. However, online schools lack the prestige or name recognition of traditional on ground schools. For alot of military people and working adults, online degrees are the only option.

As far as choices, here are just some to looking to:

DeVry University www.devry.edu
Franklin University www.franklin.edu
Baker
Kaplan University www.kaplan.edu
Davenport University Online

I would avoid University of Phoenix due to the extremely high cost for no noticeable benefit.

Jere answers:

Since your only 14 you may need your parents consent with most sites, You should start selling items on ebay to see if online is for you.

1
Decide what kind of online business you want to start. Online businesses that require little to no money upfront are service businesses. Writing services, virtual secretary businesses, and web design businesses are all low-cost options. An e-commerce store using drop shipping services also requires very little money to start.

2
Set up a website to showcase your products and services. Free methods can be used to create an online business website; BlueVoda, Doodlekit, and WordPress are examples of free hosting website solutions that also include integrated web design features. Low-cost websites can be purchased for as low as $5 to $10 using affordable business services like Intuit Small Business. Alternatively, registering a domain name and buying a dedicated hosting account costs as little as $10 to $15 a month; GoDaddy and HostGator are popular domain registrar and hosting services. Free shopping cart software like Zen Cart and osCommerce can be used if you are creating an e-commerce store with product inventory.

3
Create a custom design and look for your online business website by downloading and using free web page what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) editors if in-house tools are not included in your hosting package. A few examples of free HTML and WYSIWYG editors include CoffeeCup Free HTML Editor, SeaMonkey, and Komodo Edit. Be sure to preview the web page design in Internet browsers before uploading the files to your web hosting service to ensure that it’s compatible with multiple browsers.

4
Advertise your online business in free spaces both on the Internet and offline. Post your service or product offerings on classified ad sites like Craigslist. Submit your online business to free business directory listings like the Google Local Business Center or SuperPages directory. Post flyers of your online business around your local city or town on community bulletin boards. Tell all your friends and family of your online business so that word-of-mouth advertising gets started.

5
Form a limited liability company (LLC) or corporation to protect yourself in the event of lawsuits and other legal troubles. This can be done after your online business has turned a profit so that you don’t have to use out-of-pocket money for this expense.

How do I make an online business ?

I would like to start an online business, But I do not have any product, and do not know how to get started

Jere answers:

It does take a lot to start an online business, there are many programs that can actually help you on your way to doing so, but there are also a lot of scams out there. You do not really need a product to sell, all you need is a good niche to offer people great information. You can create free blogs, go through programs, etc. Check this out for alot more info: http://www.how2makemoneyonlinenow.com

Also there is alot more to it then just starting a business and getting rich, depending what you are trying to do, like give information to people, you will need very unique and up to date information in order to get the traffic needed to be considered a business. You may also join a program and become an affiliate of another product, mainly it is just being a salesperson online for that company. There is so much you can start a business out of out there, but make sure you are well organized and also it would be useful to have computer and web design knowledge as well.
