Your Questions About The Real Biz

Linda asks…

Is Graphic Design a good career choice?

I’ve heard the market is flooded with designers these days and it is very competitive finding a job in an actual studio and doing freelance work for peanuts and without benefits. If you are currently a designer how did you break into the biz and get your first real job. Do you regret choosing this career path?

Jere answers:

You’re right on, my man. It is very competitive, and the market is oversaturated with “designers.” Just remember there are designers and there are people who have a copy of Photoshop. Not exactly the same thing. If you do get into it, be a thoughtful, disciplined designer, and you will go far. Get all of the fundamentals down because design is not about the latest software.

For anyone who thinks there isn’t much competition, check out how many companies are advertising on my blog alone:

And those are just the ones who are buying advertising. Look at craigslist and freelance designers.com. 10 times as much.

In any case, best of luck to you.

I know that this recipe uses the new stoneware covered baker, and you use a 4 pound chicken and season it, I just don’t know if you’re supposed to cook it on high power the whole 30 minutes. Thanks for any help you can give!

Paul asks…

How does one start a limousine manufacture?, and what type of schooling does one need to learn how to run one?

I was just wanting to know how one would start a limousine manufacturing company? Also i was wanting to know whay type of degree would help as far as cutting and welding and interior? And how long is the average time that one would spend in educating themselves at some university?

Jere answers:

My brother started a limo building biz in the 1980’s. He had over $200,000 invested in equipment alone plus the real estate. He had over $500,000 in the deal before he turned the first dollar.You will also have to get certified as a completed vehicle manufacturer…and pay big $$$ for liability insurance. And you will have to have a pool agreement with the OEM manufacturer that you plan on buying the chassis from…no easy task as they only do business with established firms.This isn’t a business for you if you don’t have major money and experience….I guarantee.

Robert asks…

Is BDRC.BIZ for real?

I was looking for opportunities to earn money online when I came across this Business Development & Recruitment Centre or BDRC.BIZ but it seems like I can’t find any review about it? Can anyone tell me if you know anything about it? Thanks!

Jere answers:

If I were you i’d stay as far away as possible from this company. I think it’s bogus. I have been looking for some ways to make money online for over a year now when a couple of months ago I came across this bdrc.biz and saw their website. I sent them an email asking some questions (their email adrs is info@bdrc.biz). What I got was an auto-responder run reply:

Respected sir/Mam
We Will receive Your mail.We will Reply Regarding Your Information Withen 24 Hours.

Thanks & Regards
www.bdrc.biz

I ignored completely the horrible grammar construction and gave them the benefit of the doubt. I waited 1 whole week and got no response from them. Thinking that they perhaps could have just missed my first email so I sent them another one. Unfortunately, same thing happened: got an auto-reply and never heard anything from them. It was a good thing I tried to inquire first and never sent them money. In their website, they’re asking $40, $60, $80 and $100 for silver, gold, diamond and platinum accounts respectively (equivalent of Indian Rupees Rs).

The important thing is, don’t send money over the internet unless you are 110% sure that it’s legitimate. Anyway I found these advertising programs that actually pay and the best thing is you don’t have to pay them a penny. It’s 100% free to join the programs. I am earning roughly around 100 bucks a month between them, not that much but they help me out with my gas and telephone bills. Good luck!

Steven asks…

Real Estate or Small Biz???

Have money to open a small biz, or should I just buy some Real Estate?

Jere answers:

I started many businesses for over 5 yrs now, internet and mailorder. I even owned real estate twice, from a Will Trust, and No Money Down Deal. Now, I sold the Will RE and I lost the RE from a bad broker deal, that went foreclosed. Business is still going after many failures. But here is my advice. You can make real estate a good business with DD research and know that its better to buy RE and sit on it, instead of waiting to purchase later. While it goes up in value, you can always borrow against it for future purchases or for a new business enitity.

After my last failed RE deal. I vowed to learn how to make the type of money from my business first, then I can buy what RE, multiple types…land, Mobile Homes, Condos, Farms, Family Res, etc. And make it worth my time, with much DD effort. But whatever you decide, make sure it is your passion. You would have to love doing it, and always fine tune it, to keep it growing. Learn from your mistakes and never give up with your business.

I have just crossed the path that I set my goal for, and that was to make in the range of $3-5k per month from the internet. Now I am researching properties in certain areas that I would like to buy. It took awhile, but I made that first goal successful. Now my next part is the RE of my choice. It will become easier now, working with a RE management co. To take care of my RE needs as I purchase what I want to rent. So Good Luck and get your feet wet. I am sure you will do just fine.
