The key to being successful in your own business is to pick a business that you will really enjoy doing.

Besides, who would want to spend the rest of their life doing something they hate.
That is what we are trying to get away from. We now live in the Internet Age and there are tens of thousands of opportunities waiting for you out there. The key is to pick the one you will love doing...no matter how silly or weird it may sound at first.
Your friends may tell you are crazy for having this Internet dream. They might even make fun of your “weird” idea, but you will be the one laughing when you have a full-time Internet income coming in from what you love...and they are stuck at their go-nowhere 9 to 5 job for the rest of their lives.
Let me tell you a story...
In Indiana, there lives a woman who works 8 hour days 6 days a week at a local computer company. We will call her "Barbara" for the sake of this article.
Barbara dreads getting up in the morning. She dreads getting ready for work. She dreads driving to work. She dreads clocking in. She absolutely hates her job.
She has a degree in computer science, but she can barely stand the sight of a computer anymore. Everything in her miserable life has become a drudgery to her. She can barely stand herself. The most important thing to her is that wonderful clock that chimes 5 p.m. when it is time for her to go home.
She rushes to her car...Drives as fast as the law allows home...and then immediately rushes into her house as fast as she can to the noise of overexcited door greeters. Both them and her have waited all day for this moment. Now, she can relax.
She sits down on the couch...collects up her pets (2 dogs and a cat) and gives each of them the attention she knows that they crave. She turns on "Animal Planet" on the television set and sits back breathing a sigh of relief that she lived through another day.
Every day this same process occurs. Sometimes she makes a stop by the library and gets a collection of books on "Dog Care" and on "Dog Training." On her day off (that wonderful day), her and her dogs go and spend the entire day at the local park. All of them wait all week for that wonderful event.
Because of the drudgery of her job and the desire she has to be constantly free from it, she decided to check into starting her own home business. Her friends sell Avon. As a matter of fact, one of them even makes enough money to do it full-time.
Barbara envies this woman...She gets up and works when she wants at her own business which she loves. She always seems to have a spring in her step and a smile on her face.
Then, one day her friend invites Barbara to join her. Excitement overflows inside of Barbara...She will be able to be in control of her own destiny. She can be in business for herself.
Barbara jumps at the chance...besides it is only $25 she says to herself..."What do I have to lose?" She is absolutely on fire with this new possibility...She can work for herself and make her own life.
She quickly begins to do everything her sponsor told her to do...She makes up lists of contacts. She begins contacting them all one by one. She does everything neccessary to get started as fast as possible.
Barbara begins making a little money...(It always starts out small in your own home business), but something is missing. She stills has her job...She has her new home business and is beginning to make a little income doing it...BUT she has even less time than before to do the things she loves.
Her day off came and went...She had meetings to attend in her new business. Her dogs stayed home staring longingly at their leashes wondering what was wrong. Barbara is making more money now, but is no more free time than ever before.
Now, after the excitement of her new business has worn off, that telephone is getting pretty heavy to use. It is getting pretty tiring to come home from work every day and have to work this second job...even though it is hers.
One day, her sponsor quits and she has no one to help her stay motivated anymore. That was the final straw. She can't do it any more. She goes back to the old routine feeling guilty that she "failed" in her home business venture.
Later on down the road, this same process occurs. She joins another home business "opportunity" only to later give up and quit because she just can't take it anymore. Dozens of times this happens. Every time she feels more guilty that she just doesn't have what it takes to make it in her own home business.
Every time this occurs she ends up exhausted on her couch. The funny thing is that the answer to her problem has been right under her nose all of the time. It happens to be staring up at her lovingly right this moment holding it's leash.
Her problem has been that she works a job she hates. She wants a way out and others are promising her a solution that just isn't suited to her. They make money doing it because they love it. She makes a little at it and quits because she can't stand that JOB either.
For them, it is a way of life and a passion. For her, it is just another JOB, yet with less starting salary. Her passion is for her pets, but she spends time trying to work up passion for other people's desires.
I will let you off the hook and tell you...Barbara's problem is that she is trying the WRONG home business for her. She should be starting a business where her passion is at. Instead, she just tries to imitate others who have completely different desires.
I wonder if that is your problem? If you can't wait to get off your job and get out to the golf course, but you are trying to sell health products, it won't work. If you only want to garden all of the time, but sell make-up, you are dead in the water before you ever start.

Money's to tight to Mention 2
Do not Procratinate
With the article: “Bring in the Money 1”, I kind of put the horse before the cart. The reason was to wet your appetite. If you have not read it please read it first by clicking on the link above.
I ended of that article by saying that there are other things that you would need before you can start a business.
1. Do you feel the fire in your belly to start a business, not just any old business but one that can give you an extra income that is sizable. A business that can become a full time business if you so wish? A let me try attitude might not get you very far. That kind of attitude will make you to give up too easily. The desire to make something of your financial situation must be strong or otherwise you must tell yourself that this is just going to be a hobby. Nothing wrong with hobbies, but I don’t think the drive is the same as when you want to be successful.
2. What are your goals? Write them down and visualize them coming to life. Set a date when you would want to achieve it. Put it up against a wall if possible. You need to see it often.
3. Set up mini milestones on your way to achieve this goal.
4. Write a monetary value down that is achievable and write it in your diary or some other place where you can see it. The best place would be where your goals are. You would need this money to achieve your goals.
5. Write down mini monetary values to your mini milestones.
6. What are you prepared to give to be able to reach your goals? Dreaming won’t get you there. You will need self-discipline, energy, and time. But, and a big but, you will always need your family and friends. Do not sacrifice them for money. Money without family and friends can be very cold and lonely. If I had to choose between a. having lots of money and no family and friends or b. being poor but happy with my friends and family; I will choose the latter.
7. What needs to be done today, do it. Tomorrow will bring its own challenges and you mite not be able to cope with it. Soon you will find yourself a week behind schedule. Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.
8. Do you have a clear plan or are you just going to see what tomorrow brings? This is very dangerous. If you don’t know what exactly you are going to do you are going to waste time trying to figure it all out. When your plan is at hand you will at least have the time to find resources if you don’t know how to do a certain task. If you know nothing about the business you are going to venture in, plan to find out what it is all about in the next few days, then you can work out the rest of your plan.
What else do you need?
1. Set up a business account. Your bank will be able to advice you.
2. Do I need to say a computer with internet connection? Your local library computer won’t do it for you. If you don’t have a computer and a close family member can’t help you out, save up and buy one.
3. Now you need to get that website.
4. Collect or write content for your site.
5. Set your site up.
6. Patience. You won’t start up the business and tomorrow your bank account will be healthy.
7. Be persistent. This might be an unfamiliar field but with time you will know exactly what you are doing. Read up on jargon.
8. Helpless with a computer, don’t be scared. As an older man I had to overcome mine. Now my wife, who encouraged me, now fights me.
9. Please, don’t put up a site that would keep potential buyers from clicking on your links. If they start to admire your pretty pictures they might forget to move on to the site of the product you promote. Your site needs to make money or are you going to enter it into a Miss Beautiful Website competition?

Money's to tight to Mention 1
Affiliates
During the eighties (or seventies maybe), there was a song that I loved very much. The name of the song is: “Money’s to tight to mention.” There is also a specific verse in that song: “Don’t talk about money, money. Don’t talk about money, money. Don’t talk about money, money, money, money, money.”
I can’t remember the artist but I used to think that she is probably a millionaire and she doesn’t want to talk about money. If she can’t, who can? I was still very young and thought when an artist say or sing about something that they really experienced it. Now I know that although some did, most of them are just singing to bring in the money.
In the light of today’s economic climate, so many people lose their jobs and are frightened to mention money. The word becomes a swear word if you’re without it. Bills to pay, groceries to buy, school fees, petrol (or gasoline for the Americans- why do you always have to be different), clothing, and ….. and ….. The list came be too long when there is no money.
When you do get some; who do I pay and who will have to wait till next time? What can I buy and what is not a priority? Do we eat out or shall we eat at home? Cinema or Television, what shall we watch?
The best bet would be to start some kind of business that is sustainable and not to expensive to get of the ground. Some online businesses are relatively cheap to set up. Try affiliate programs as a starting point.
What is an affiliate program? A lot of companies make use of affiliate programs to sell their products online. Affiliates are you and me that promote somebody else’s product online and receive commissions of up to 60% from some of the companies.
When you type in the term affiliates, you will be bombarded with literally thousands of affiliate programs. Do you think that it is stupid to ask somebody else to promote your product and give him or her such a big cut of the money? No, not at all. By having hundred more sites to promote their product plus there own site, they start to make serious money. They can surely start to talk about money.
Think about it, you decide what you want to promote, don’t have to buy it but can make some good money promoting it. Remember, I said good money, not millions.
What do you want to promote? It is entirely up to you. Start with something that you are familiar about or something you like and can talk about. To stick to a certain product is called a niche. You will see the term niche marketing a lot.
To try and jump into a wider market right away would be foolish. You can always diversify later, when you’ve got the knowledge and you have to spend less time on your first niche. Then you can start another niche.
A very good niche to start with would be websites built by professionals. The websites of this specific company are really the best of the best. Any one that is starting a business and does not have a website should try them. Do you need a site? This company will give you one of the best affiliate programs with life long commissions and ongoing training.
You say that you don’t know much about websites? They will train you and take you step by step with your affiliate program.
Well you can still opt for another product if you don’t want to do websites. As I said, there are thousands out there. If you do choose another product, please check out the following:
a. Can the merchant capable of converting your leads into sales? Look at the site. Is it easy to use? Do they persuade you to buy? The ordering process must be relatively easy.
b. Look at their commission structure and compare it to other companies into the same niche.
c. Are they well known?
d. The affiliate sign up page must easy and without legal terms you don’t understand.
This is just to make you think. Start by getting your website ready
Before your business can get of the ground there are certain prerequisites. What are the things you would need to start your own business?
I will go into it with my next article. Sign up to my RSS feed and you will be notified as soon as it is available. Please leave your comments.
God bless you and your business. Till next time.

Five Easy Steps to Posting Your First eBay Auction
3.5 Step 5: Collect payment and post it.
eBay will sent your buyer emails guiding them through the process of sending you
payment for the item. Make sure you have the money before you send anything.
Once you've got the payment, all you need to do is pack the item for posting
(make sure to use some bubble wrap), take the buyer's address from the
confirmation email eBay sent you, and write it on the parcel. Put some stamps on,
post it, and you're done!

3.4 Step 4: Wait for it to sell.
This is just a matter of sitting back and letting eBay do its thing - buyers will find
your item and leave bids on it. Some bidders might email you with questions
about the item, and you should do your best to answer these questions as quickly
as you can.
** Remember that if your item doesn't sell then you can list it again for free. **

3.2 Step 2: Decide what to sell.
For your first little experiment with eBay, it doesn't really matter what you sell.
Take a look around the room you're in - I'm sure there's something in there that
you're not all that attached to and could put in the post. Small books and CDs are
ideal first

2. What You Need to Know Before Getting Started
2. What You Need to Know Before Getting Started
So you've decided that you want to get started as a seller on eBay. There are a few things that you really need to know before you go and throw yourself in at the deep end.
What to Sell
First off, you need to know what it is you're going to sell: what's your specialty? You'll do far better on eBay if you become a great source for certain kind of products, as people who are interested in those products will come back to you again and again. You won't get any loyalty or real reputation if you just sell rubbish at random.
When you think about what to sell, there are a few things to consider. The most important of these is to always sell what you know. If you try to sell something that you just don't know anything about then you'll never write a good description and sell it for a good price.
You might think you're not especially interested in anything, but if you think about what kind of things you usually buy and which websites you go to most often, I'm sure you'll discover some kind of interest. If all else fails mention it to your friends and family: they'll almost certainly say "Oh, well why don't you sell…" and you'll slap your forehead.
Out of the things you know enough about, you should then consider which things you could actually get for a good enough price to resell, and how suitable they would be for posting. If you can think of something of that you're knowledgeable about and it's small and light enough for postage to be relatively cheap, then that's great!
Don't worry if you think the thing you're selling is too obscure - it isn't. There's a market for almost everything on eBay, even things that wouldn't sell once in a year if you stocked them in a shop. You'll probably do even better if you fill a niche than if you sell something common.
Tax and Legal Matters
If you earn enough money, you should be aware that you're going to have to start paying tax - this won't be done for you. If you decide to sell on eBay on a full-time basis, you should probably register as a business.
Prepare Yourself
There are going to be ups and downs when you sell on eBay. Don't pack it in if something goes a little wrong in your first few sales: the sellers who are successful on eBay are the ones who enjoy it, and stick at it whatever happens. Anyone can sell on eBay, if they believe in themselves - and if you do decide it's not for you, and then the start-up costs are so low that you won't really have lost anything. If you're ready to start selling, then the next thing you need to know is the different auction types, so you can decide which ones you will use to sell your items.

1. Welcome to eBay and Tons of Income
Welcome to eBay and tons of income
If you've ever read an article about eBay, you will have seen the kinds of incomes people make - it isn't unusual to hear of people making thousands of dollars per month on eBay. Next time you're on eBay, take a look at how many Power Sellers there are: you'll find quite a few. Now consider that every single one of one of them must be making at least $1,000 per month, as that's eBay's requirement for becoming a Power Seller.
• Silver Power Sellers make at least $3,000 each month,
• Gold Power Sellers make more than $10,000,
• Platinum Power sellers make more than $25,000, and
• Titanium Power Sellers make at least a whopping $150,000 in sales every month!
The fact that these people exist gives you come idea of the income possibilities here. Most of them never set out to even set up a business on eBay - they simply started selling a few things, and then kept going. There are plenty of people whose full-time job is selling things on eBay, and some of them have been doing it for years now.
Can you imagine that? Once they've bought the stock, everything else is pretty much pure profit for these people - they don't need to pay for any business premises, staff, or anything else. There are multi-million pound businesses making less in actual profit than eBay Power Sellers do.
Even if you don't want to quit your job and really go for it, you can still use eBay to make a significant second income. You can pack up orders during the week and take them down to the post office for delivery each Saturday. There are few other things you could be doing with your spare time that have anywhere near that kind of earning potential.
What's more, eBay doesn't care who you are, where you live, or what you look like: some Power Sellers are very old, or very young. Some live out in the middle of nowhere where selling on eBay is one of the few alternatives to farming or being very poor. eBay tears down the barriers to earning that the real world constantly puts up. There's no job interview and no commuting involved - if you can post things, you can do it.
Put it this way: if you know where to get something reasonably cheaply that you could sell, then you can sell it on eBay - and since you can always get discounts for bulk at wholesale, that's not exactly difficult. Buy a job lot of something in demand cheaply, sells it on eBay, and you're making money already, with no setup costs.
If you want to dip your toe in the water before you commit to actually buying anything, then you can just sell things that you've got lying around in the house. Search through that cupboard of stuff you never use, and you'll probably find you've got a few hundred dollars' worth of stuff lying around in there! This is the power of eBay: there is always someone who wants what you're selling, whatever it might be, and since they've come looking for you, you don't even need to do anything to get them to buy it.
So you want to get started on eBay? Well, that's great! There are only a few little things you need to learn to get started.
If you've ever read an article about eBay, you will have seen the kinds of incomes people make - it isn't unusual to hear of people making thousands of dollars per month on eBay. Next time you're on eBay, take a look at how many Power Sellers there are: you'll find quite a few. Now consider that every single one of one of them must be making at least $1,000 per month, as that's eBay's requirement for becoming a Power Seller.
• Silver Power Sellers make at least $3,000 each month,
• Gold Power Sellers make more than $10,000,
• Platinum Power sellers make more than $25,000, and
• Titanium Power Sellers make at least a whopping $150,000 in sales every month!
The fact that these people exist gives you come idea of the income possibilities here. Most of them never set out to even set up a business on eBay - they simply started selling a few things, and then kept going. There are plenty of people whose full-time job is selling things on eBay, and some of them have been doing it for years now.
Can you imagine that? Once they've bought the stock, everything else is pretty much pure profit for these people - they don't need to pay for any business premises, staff, or anything else. There are multi-million pound businesses making less in actual profit than eBay Power Sellers do.
