Your Questions About Doing Business Online China

Nancy asks…
Can someone tell me if i can find a job in China after doing ESL course online ?
I am intending to move to China as an English teacher.I am not a native English speaker but i have a strong command of English.By nationality i am Pakistani but i have lived in Malaysia,UAE and specially in the Uk for several years.Everyday people used to ask me if i was from America because i have that accent and when i used to tell them that i am not from America,they used to be like wao…how come you have such accent then.I do not want to waste your time admiring myself.I do not have any degree but i am doing HND in Business and Management from Uk online.Am i eligible to apply as an English teaching? Do they just recruit native English speakers or do they also take other nationalities into their account who speak good English? I am thinking of doing ESL course online.They assure a job placement.But i am kind of worried that after completing this course it would be hard for me to get a job just because i am not a native English speaker.
Thanks.

Jere answers:
China requires a BA to teach English at the college level. They do not really require an ESL certificate. They are interested in oral English. The fact that you are not a native speaker will work against you, but you may still get hired once you get a BA.
They may accept less than a BA at the lower levels, but I do not have any information about anything but the college level.

Jere answers:
Put your entrepreneurial skills to the test, if you’ve already proven to yourself that you have them, then I’m sure that’ll be the best course of action. Happy deciding!

Helen asks…
Which online business idea should I choose?
I am 16. I want to start an online business/internet company over the summer. I would like to make six or more figures a year. I have a few ideas so far, but I am not sure which one or ones I should do.
1. This idea is my favorite. I would hire a web design firm to create the site. It would be a site where users can submit original songs and other users can listen, comment, rate, share, and chat with other users. I might also have an area where users can create a profile and list gig dates etc. I would make money from selling ad space on the site. I might also sell an ecourse for $10 on “writing the perfect song”. Do you think this is a good online business idea.p? Could it make me six or more figures a year?
2. This would be a website where customers can customize and design their own guitar. I would then transfer the order to a place in china and they would create the guitars. I would price so I make a profit. Could this online business idea make me six or more figures a year?
3. A website where users could debate on two topics. The users would choose a side, and debate. I would sell ad space to make money. Could this online business idea make me six or more figures a year?
4. An informational website on songwriting with a lot of content on the topic. I would sell ad space and relevant affiliate products to make money. Could this make me six or more figures a year?
5. People always say you should do ecommerce. If you think I should, what should I sell to make six or more figure a year?
Which ideas so you like best? Which ideas or idea should I do to make six or more figures a year?
Thanks!

Jere answers:
To me the obvious one is #1. It covers a more wide range of people. (customers)
And it isn’t just chat or opinions people are sharing, it would be their music.
Many people could look at this as an opportunity to get their music out there.
My best friend is a musician ( guitar and drums ) and he makes his own music.
I bet everyone knows at least one person who is good with music that would love a web site like that.
I wouldn’t charge the musician for uploading their songs but you could agree to a small percentage
of their earnings from any songs that people purchase and download.
Great idea! I like it already. 🙂

George asks…
Which online business idea is better?
I am 16. Over the summer, I want to start an online business/internet company. I would like to make six or more figures a year. I have a few ideas so far, but I am not sure if I should do 1, 2, of all of the ideas.
Idea1- A website where users can submit original songs and other users can listen, rate, comment, share, and chat with other users. I would maybe also have a section where users can create profiles and gig listings. I would make money from selling ad space and maybe have a ecourse on “writing the perfect song” that I sell for $10 or so. I love this idea. Could this idea make me six or more figures a year? I would hire a web design firm to make the site.
Idea2- This idea is neat. I would create a website where customers can design their own guitar. Design meaning putting artwork on the guitar and customize it. I would then have a place in china create the guitars and sell the guitars on the site above the costs so I can make profit. Could this idea make me six or more figures a year?
Idea3- I would create a website where users can debate about two things. The user would type in the blanks. For example _______ vs. ____________. Then other users would start a debate by picking a side they like. So if it was vanilla vs chocolate, users either pick vanilla or chocolate and debate about which is better and why. I would sell ad space to make money. Could this make me six or more figures a year?
Which one do you like better? Do you think any of these could make me six or more figures a year. Which ones should I try?
Thanks.

Jere answers:
Idea 3 is a non-starter.. Ever heard of Yahoo Answers???.
Idea 2 is enough of a niche market that you might just succeed, but not 6 figures, at least not right away.
Idea 1 already exists, and you would join an existing flotilla of competitors… And you dont want to compete, you want to be selling something everyone else does NOT have…

Where can i buy shoes online then sell them in my business?
i own a business, and im looking to start selling shoes in my little space. so im looking to buy shoes online for cheap, direct, lets say from china or something. and sell them.
What is the website… i know someone who is doing this, but keeps on putting off in telling me the web.

I know of someone who does this with shoes – thousands of new pairs of shoes are listed every day and hundreds end at 1 cent – buy them all up and make a fortune. Have a look here
