Online Business Recommendations for All Beginners

People on my contact list ask about which are the best and the fastest ways and businesses to make money online… The truth is that I must answer by telling them, there is no such thing, never! Below is one of my emails content, sent to a new Apsense friend. As I said I'm not fulltime online yet, I have a construction business here in Romania and cannot get rid of it because it generates real income for my huge family. But I make few hundred dollars through multiple streams of income (how gurus like to say it ;-) and they come from Google Adsense, few ebooks and one ‘business-in-a-box’ mall site; some ebooks are my own, one is an affiliate program. The road to make real money online is very long but not many online gurus or entrepreneurs will tell you this. Most want you to JOIN and PAY! And then you realize they are scams, or not... Even if they are proven businesses, most don't care if you make or not real income or at least some cash. So, talking about online entrepreneurship, it depends on what you want to do on the Internet...!? For example, I plan to go fulltime online with writing and publishing business. As is well known on the net, this is one of the most workable and profitable businesses online. I will also have a coaching program about writing and publishing, specially created for beginners. However the competition is huge but still there is a lot of place for those who have some writing skills. And there are lots of choices when it comes to writing: articles, blogs, reports, ebooks, reviews, ezines, newsletters, press release, ghostwriting, publishing, etc. If you have some skills on writing and can find a niche market that fits your knowledge and PASSION (very important!), you are in business, but after a long trial on getting traffic and make yourself known on the net. You better stop on one or two of the above mentioned writing topics and start developing your business asap. I do have all this knowledge about writing but I will only apply it completely after getting online fulltime. All I do now is to share some of my knowledge in order to get known on the cyberspace. Apsense and blogs help me a lot to get known quickly. I did a short search on Google for Amazing Business Coaching and found myself on the first 4 positions on Google – one by my just started new blog www.mybestassociates.com and two by Apsense mteodor.apsense.com and http://www.apsense.com/subjects/101927.html If I search “Amazing Business Coaching” then 9 of 10 Google positions are mine. What can I say? I added this title to my pages only about 2 month ago! Who else can get so fast on the first position of Google without using new traffic and promotion tools? You can check your business too, and see how powerful are blogs and social networking sites for helping you to get traffic very fast. The easiest way to start a business, if you don’t have enough knowledge, is to join a program like auctions (eBay, DubLi), malls (MyWorldPlus, MyPowerMall) or other “business-in-a-box” programs and doing nothing but advertising and intense promotion. I'm a passive member of MyPowerMall but still make some money there. You can make some income with 'business in a box' programs if you promote and involve very much at the beginning of it (about 5-6 or more month) then money come by others, IF you have at least 2 of them very active, and so on... depends of their pay plan. So in everything there is a risk. Less risk is with your own product but it takes quite long, as in any well-established and serious business. One more thought. I saw some people promoting surveys. Believe me, it's a waste of time for an online entrepreneur. That could be just a good job for some work-at-home moms or an unemployed man, but not a real business. Data entry programs also, waste of money and time. If you want to become an online businessperson then at least find a program like auctions or online malls and then get involved take care to promote and marketing that program, in order to succeed. Otherwise, you will be playing around, as 95% of online business seekers do. Another good option is to find a niche market. A safe program to join is trustworthy network marketing with a good health and body care program or product. Here you can still find a very powerful niche and very good products. The trend is fantastic in this field, but also the most scam and fraud is there… So, be very careful WHO you join. There are also matrix and MLM programs, most are bad, some maybe good, but as I don't know them well I don't trust and don’t talk about them. In Conclusion Anyone has few good choices (not opportunities!) to start an established business or to create a new but serious venture online. What is the best in having success with your online business (any type) is developing powerful Joint Ventures with: - Experienced marketers - Friends who have some experience - Friends who have strong motivation to start a business online - Mentors, who will teach you the lessons of business and life - Coaches, who train teams of new online players - Online entrepreneurs (netpreneurs) - Experienced bloggers If you want to succeed, look for them. Ask permission to join their team, or business, or blog, or website, or class, or anything they do and have! Hope this helps. Teodor
