<br />
* How to position and pitch a new business<br />
* How to get the most benefit from branding and staffing<br />
* Why starting a business is akin to a spiritual undertaking, requiring belief in the project's worth and its benefit to society<br />
<br />
Why you should read The Art of the Start.<br />
This is not a manual, but rather a collection of mostly useful tips for people who wish to start businesses, or even, as author Guy Kawasaki claims, other sorts of projects, including nonprofit organizations. Kawasaki may over-use business-babble such as "bootstrapping" or "rainmaking" (in fact, he recommends coming up with a brand name that can enter the language as a verb, such as Google or Xerox) - but his style is good-natured and humorous. The chapters are divided accessibly with subheads, charts, bullet points, "minichapters," answers to "Frequently Avoided Questions" and reading lists, making it easy to find important points. Many of Kawasaki's "exercises" are tongue-in-cheek, like, "Go to eBay and search for used Aeron chairs." He got his start working at Apple Computer, marketing early MacIntoshes, and he now runs a venture capital firm, Garage Technology Ventures. He refers to both frequently, and most of the book's examples come from these venues, not from inside knowledge of others start-ups, even though the author has been involved in several. This isn't the only book you'll need to read when you decide to start a business, but getAbstract.com finds that its iconoclastic pointers are useful and fun, and its sections on pitching, recruiting and branding, in particular, apply to businesses of any size.<br />

I Get All the Traffic I Want, and Now You Can To. Here's How.<br /><br />I've discovered something very, very interesting recently. And as a valued friend and reader of this blog, I wanted to let you in on my discovery.<br /><br />I discovered a product that reveals as clearly and accurately as I have ever seen, how to start and profit from a professional blog. Now, I'm not talking about these run of the mill blogs that are popping up everywhere.<br /><br />No, I'm talking about the true blogs – the ones that earn money, the ones that pull traffic – blogs like the six-figure earners use.<br /><br />I'll admit, when I first heard about this product, I figured it would be another get-rich-quick blogging scheme. But I wrote to the author, and his response was the most genuine, honest perspective on blogging I'd ever heard.<br /><br />The funny thing is, I just knew I had to get my hands on the book after reading that e-mail.<br /><br />I downloaded it immediately and couldn't wait to dig into the content.

Browsing the table of contents, I just "felt" that this book was going to become a trusted resource in the blogging community very quickly.<br /><br />The massive content and the originality of the contents simply blew me away. The amount of time, effort, and expertise that went into this book is obvious.

It may have been your own decision or possibly through the recent loss of your job. At this very moment thousands of people across the country (and across the world) are in the same situation and are having the same thoughts. Now, what is it you need to decide on first? Are you going to provide a service or sell a product or products? Are you going to have a web site and how are you going to conduct the actual business itself? You may decide to start your business and get your feet wet by selling items on eBay or posting ads on CraigsList for Free. These are all vital questions that everyone who has started (or is in the process of starting) their own home based business has asked themselves. If you would like to get a head start and have thousands of quality products available to you at wholesale prices. Take a look at the following <a href="http://webroker.salehoo.hop.clickbank.net/">website</a> and you will immediately realize it's not as hard as you first imagined it to be. The products at first may be overwhelming, because like I said there are literally thousands of them. What I would do and have advised all of the people who have consulted with me, is to at first pick only one or two items and start there. After that, you can add to your catalog of products and watch your business grow. You may get requests from customers asking if you have access to other related products. When this is the case, all you have to do is look through the offerings of products and see what is available. Start now by visiting <a href="http://webroker.salehoo.hop.clickbank.net/">here</a>, and build yourself a business that will give you the freedom and opportunity to live the life you deserve.Ms..

Many industries are underserved by the classified market so consider solving the problem by creating a classified site for your industry. Here are a few resources to get you started.<br /><br />Noah’s Classifieds is arguably the leading classified software available. Available in seven languages, it is an ideal solution for those who want to charge for ads or even subscription fees. An SEO benefit is the ability to write systemwide titles, keywords and descriptions and even the ability to write the same for categories and individual ads. A host of administrative and user features makes Noah’s a respectable choice for aspiring classified site creators. Those interested in testing the waters can download a free limited version, but the paid enterprise versions ($149.95 and 189.95 for a one or two site license, respectively) is well worth the investment.<br /><br />ikiClassifieds is a customizable PHP classifieds software that closely resembles craigslist. It is highly configurable and touts the ease of adding custom banners, YouTube videos, Google Maps, or AdSense. ikiClassifieds is PayPal-ready, so users can pay for listings. A multi-city version is available upon request. ikiClassifieds is priced at $290.<br /><br />Geodesic Solutions has several classified software applications, ranging in price from $199 for the basic version to $799 for an enterprise solution. The software offers a deep feature list including many options for buyers and sellers, security features and site customization abilities. The fee-based features help to distinguish the offers. Site operators can choose to add fees for prioritized listings, bolded listings, added photo fees and category.Ms..

Angelsoft makes software for investors to manage their deal flow and runs a Web site for entrepreneurs and investors. </p> <p>“There are thousands of hours wasted by entrepreneurs applying to the wrong groups, and it’s no small secret that most venture groups completely ignore their public submission inbox. It’s basically like applying to a trash can,” said Jason Schwartz, Angelsoft’s community manager. </p> <p>The tool is modeled after <a href="http://www.kayak.com/">Kayak</a>, the travel search engine that allows users to sort their results by factors like time, airline and number of stops. The investor search engine includes data on the 450 angel groups and venture capital firms that already use Angelsoft products and another 500 firms that don’t. Entrepreneurs can sort results based on things like location (Silicon Valley or New York, for example), stage (from concept to $12 million trailing revenue), valuation (from $50,000 to $25 million), industry and investment size. <span id="more-3069"></span></p> <p>They can also retrieve interesting stats about investors who are part of the Angelsoft network, such as how many days investors generally take to respond to pitches, how many investing partners view the average application, the number of applications the group receives and how many make it from the submission phase through screening, due diligence, an in-person meeting or an investment. </p> <p>“This industry is shrouded in all sorts of secrecy,” Mr. Schwartz said. “By displaying live activity about their investments, we really feel we can help the industry do better at transparency.” </p> <p>One of the most useful features of the search engine is a partnership with <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/">LinkedIn</a>. When entrepreneurs are logged in to their LinkedIn accounts and searching investor profiles on Angelsoft, they can see people they know in common on the Angelsoft profile page. </p> <p>This is particularly important in the clubby world of venture capital, where it can be difficult to get an investor to look at a business plan without some sort of connection. Reid Hoffman, the co-founder and chief executive of LinkedIn, who is also an angel investor, <a href="http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/10128">recently said on Charlie Rose</a> that he never accepts a pitch from an entrepreneur without a reference. </p> <p>Angelsoft also has an application, not unlike the common application that seniors in high school fill out once and use to apply to many colleges. Entrepreneurs can use it to pitch any number of investors they find on the site. </p> <p>So far, Angelsoft is not enabling start-up founders to write reviews of investors, a la <a href="http://www.thefunded.com/">TheFunded.com</a>. “The industry is not very transparent — this has been a big step for them, one they’ve embraced, but we didn’t want to push it too far and say entrepreneurs will rank you,” Mr. Schwartz said. </p> <p>Angelsoft makes most of its money selling investor groups, including the New York Angels and Village Ventures, software to manage their deal flow. Mr. Schwartz said the group built a social network for investors once it realized it had a group of investors who could benefit from talking with one another, and is now adding tools for entrepreneurs to gain better access to that investor community.</p> </div>Ms..

<br /><p><strong>When you first begin to think if a Work From Home Business is right for you, you will find surprising things happen every day. They not only happen in secret faraway places, they happen all around you. Beyond the physical world that you can see, beyond your thoughts and emotions, there exists another world. A world of pure potential; a place where anything and everything are possible. </strong></p> <p><strong>SOME PERSONAL HISTORY </strong></p> <p>Just 2 years ago I was working in Corporate America just like you. I played around on the internet, selling on eBay and was successful with that - I became a Power Seller, only eBay is like working for Corporate America - they have tons of rules to follow and if you want to keep your Power Seller status you need to follow the rules. Although, I realized that every business has rules - I even have rules in my own business that I must follow in order for me to be profitable and successful. I have a few ebooks on my site that you may be interest in if eBay is the business you would like to be in. It is still a very profitable business for me and can be for you. </p> <p>In 2007 I retired from my corporate job to nanny my twin grandbabies Lauren and Hudson. They are the joy of my life. There is nothing better than being a grandmother. I continued to sell my items on eBay to subsidize my nanny income.
<br />
<br />Then one day the light came on - although eBay has been very good for me, I wanted to add another stream of income to my work at home business. I have read in many books that multi-stream income is very profitable. I knew Lauren and Hudson would start to school one day and not need a nanny, so I began to look for other opportunities- on the internet in addition to eBay. I firmly did not want to go back into corporate America, I still had my grandbabies and knew that I would soon become the taxi driver to and from the t-ball field, gymnastics, and I certainly did not want to miss their school programs, I couldn't get myself tied down with a 9-5 job. I knew that I could make money on the internet, but was not sure where to start</p> <p>Every day while the grandbabies napped, I would get online and explore different ways of using the Internet to make money. I tried a couple of different internet marketing businesses. I wasn't going to give up, not only did I believe that there was something out in that far away place that would work for me, I had a burning desire to have a home based business. I wanted something that would make a good living, subsidize my retirement and evidently replace my nanny pay; I wanted something that I could do working at home. After all, I had been in the computer business, in one form or another for 21 years, I was educated, I had a good home support system and I wasn't looking for the million dollar job, just a steady income. I didn't want to set my sights so high that I could not attain the goals I was working towards.</p> <p>In the first year, I spent a ton of money buying eBooks, membership sites, special reports, opt-in leads, and joining every affiliate program that promised success. Soon my mailbox was so full of business opportunities that I finally just hit the "DELETE" key. </p> <p>That's when the light got brighter and I knew that I needed a website. I needed to get all the top affiliate programs that I did make a profit from into one place. I needed to get organized and stop spending money advertising each of my individual affiliates in single ezine ads. I needed a website when I could include the top performing affiliates then I could advertise those chosen few on my website. I had a "Plan". Well, that took some learning. I stayed up night after night trying to learn to build a website. I bought tons more ebooks, fortunately I was an affiliate of <em>Clickbank.com</em>. I still had high hopes of making money online. I knew the internet was a world of pure potential, a place where anything and everything was possible, after all, I had worked with computer most of my adult life and I turely believed that I coul make money on the internet.</p> <p>In my second year of working part-time to build a home based income, I came across an ad while I doing Pay Per Click and landed on a page for a company named <strong>Success University</strong>. I read through the ad and what immediately caught my attention - <strong>Make money giving away FREE Professional Development Courses</strong>. This was right up my alley; it was a win-win situation. I could continue my education and promote the produce to encourage others to continue theirs. I related to Success University, so I added another affiliate to my list of many. I really did need a website to manage the many money makers I had become affiliated with. You can find all the details about <strong>Success University</strong> on my website <strong><a href="http://www.workathometodayonline.com/" title="<a href=">www.workathometodayonline.com"</a></strong></p> <p><strong>MY FIRST REAL WEBSITE EXPERIENCE</strong></p> <p>Though I have a family member who is a designer of corporate websites, I wasn't sure that I wanted to bring him into all this, after all I was in the learning phase, doing this part-time. Continuing my journey on the internet for possible work at home opportunities, I came across a program <strong>Plug-In Profit</strong> it was a professionally pre-designed website that actually included the vast majority of my affiliates, I did some research on it and found that is was being used by many people that had successful home based businesses. I actually got the website for FREE, and only had to pay a small amount per month for hosting fees, and it came with a great support team to help me out while I learned to use it. I was able to personalize it so that it had the look and feel that I wanted to portray for my business. Now that I have my first real website up and running <strong><a href="http://www.workathometodayonline.com/" target="_blank">www.workathometodayonline.com/</a></strong> I was working my "plan", I could advertise all my affiliates on my own website...Life is good. Affiliate programs ROCK!</p> <p>This was actually when I felt I had really taken the leap into my first Home Internet Marketing business. The timing was great, I knew that I would only be keeping the grandchildren for about 6 more months and they would then begin their venture out and socialize with other children in an educational learning center - so having the nanny income allotted me a few months to get up to speed with my new work at home business - after all my eBay Store and my new website would be my only means of income.</p> <p><strong>BEYOND THE PHYSICAL WORLD WE LIVE</strong></p> <p>Through the many experts available through the free courses at <strong>Success University</strong>, I have learned that they all started the same place I did. Although, they are further down the path to financial freedom than I am; they now have money, contacts and have gained a lot more experience than I have. However I had to realize I have not been out in the business world for 2 year, where I could talk to people about my business venture and get input, remember I have a set of now 2 year old twins - my grandbabies, they go to our church school program 2 days a week, for half a day, but that did not afford me the time I needed to research the vast amount of information to start an home base internet marketing business and build an website, the one thing that I did learn about the "experts" was that they were not always high earners, when they started they all had to travel the same secret faraway places that I have traveled. At some point they all had to stay up night after night until they learned the secret of success.</p> <p>I hope that if you decide to try a home base internet marketing business, that you can get started, and be profitable faster than I did. However, due to my determination the many nights with loss of sleep and the strong desire to work from home was worth the rewards I have finally received. I continued to believe that surprising things happen every day, I believe that beyond your thoughts and emotions, there exists another world. A world of pure potential, a place where anything and everything are possible. The world of the internet! It is a very powerful world!</p> <p><strong>THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE WAS PRICELESS</strong></p> <p>I learned from one of the very best that in order to enter that world of pure potential, that world where anything and everything is possible, you must do a few things differently than the rest of us did. You must be able to master your own learning potential. From the start you must not only have the desire to start a home based business and work outside corporate America, quit the 9-5 shift, be your own boss, control your own time - You have to have a plan to accomplish all this - you have to have a plan to succeed! I didn't have a plan - I only knew I wanted to have a home based internet business. I like most people started out running for the finish line without a real plan. When I began to see this is more work than I wanted to put into a home base business, I was ready to throw up my hands and walk away, give up my dream; I was disappointed and disgusted. However, instead of allowing this to be a walking away point, this only convinced me that this struggling online entrepreneur had simply taken a wrong turn along the way and was traveling the wrong road. I needed to turn around, retrace my steps and figure out where I made the wrong turn - when did the light start dimming?</p> <p>One of the biggest problems I had as a new internet marketer was throwing a website out there and checking the hit counters every day. This became very depressing to the point that I wanted to give up! I soon realized that even though I had this website, no one is going to look at or even know about it because I didn't advertise it. I didn't realize that just because I bought a domain name, got it registered and had a website that I was going to make money. OH, I have to advertise it, create links so search engines would find it. I found a few free advertising sites like <strong>Traffic Swarm</strong> on the internet - wrote an ad and waited for results - and I received a few emails from my Auto Responder. This gave me the hope I needed. I then moved to larger advertisers like <strong>Topsurfer</strong> and paid for "Solo Ads" advertising, again, I received more and more emails from my <strong>Get Response</strong> Auto Responder. In time, I began to learn how to make my advertising work for me. I learned that most affiliate programs will earn very little money on their own. I learned that I needed to become aware that there are tools available like SEO that will get you high ranking in the search engines. All of the tools I used to assist with promoting my home based business taught me how to work with my affiliate programs to make them profitable and work for me. I also learned that I had to give in order to receive -</p> <p><strong>BE A WINNER</strong></p> <p>To be a winner and succeed, from the very moment the seed is planted in your mind to have a home based business, you must begin by reading everything you can get your hands on. Don't just read the hype, don't believe or invest in all the ads you come across while you are clicking for points to pay for your free advertising. Ask people for their opinion, get some advice from others who have reviewed or are currently using the same programs you are researching. You can learn from their mistakes and their successes. Don't be afraid to ask for help. There is a wonderful group of PIP experts available to help you at <strong>PIPS Power Group</strong>.</p> <p>One of the major decisions I finally made after wasting tons of money on software packages to learn how to setup a website was to use a pre-built program that was designed for me to succeed. It included many of the affiliate programs that I was already familiar with and that I was having success with. If you plan to step into a pre-designed and complete turn-key online money-making venture, I encourage you to examine the <strong>Plug-In Profit</strong> site that I used to set up my turn-key website <strong><a href="http://www.workathometodayonline.com/" target="_blank">www.workathometodayonline.com/</a> </strong>. I choose the <strong>Plug-In Profit</strong> site product because I did my research on it; I was ready to admit that I could not go it alone and the fact that it featured many of the products I was already marketing, and they have the best customer support team on the internet.
<br />
<br />If you decide to go the journey on your own, then I definitely recommend you do all of the necessary research, planning and preparation that is needed for your success, it could be a long road, for me almost 2 year to find the right road to follow. For me to be successful I knew what I wanted to do, I just had to turn my "dream" into an "action plan" and then figure out how my website would generate a real income for me.</p> <p><strong>FOLLOW YOUR DREAM</strong></p> <p>Another thing that I learned late in my journey was to study your competitors and learn what is working for them and what did not work for them. Then determine your money plan. Even though you may think of this as a home business, you will still need to have a business plan, and a marketing plan. Utilize professional assistance like I did with <strong>Plug-In Profit</strong> , they did an excellent job in pulling all of my affiliate sites together. I choose them because they have, what I believe is the best on the web customer support and a user forum <strong>Warrior Pro</strong>, where you will connect with hundreds of PIP users and a support team that has the answer to any question or problem you may have with your website. While creating your plans, make a determination as to which domain name you think would be best, and then register it along with a hosting account, I use <strong>Host4Profit</strong>, but you will find several choices if you search the internet. I knew that I wanted to promote <strong>Success University</strong>; they have a ton of professional development courses, the same ones I taught when I worked in corporate America so I could relate to this company. <strong> Clickbank</strong>, my first affiliate, was my main sources of research when I was going through this learning experience - they have hundreds of thousands of eBooks on any subject you can think of, I certainly didn't have time to go to the book store. <strong>SFI</strong> - is a great company and I continue to promote and purchase products for use in my home. Stone Evans, designer of the <strong>Plug-In Profit</strong> system and Author of "<strong>Dotcomolgy</strong> - <strong>The Science of Making Money Online"</strong>, was a great source of information, you can receive this for Free on my website, along with the excellent courses on Marketing, Real Estate, Motivation, Goal Setting, Time Management, just to list a few at <strong>Success University</strong>, topics on everything I needed to know to start my home based business. <strong>Success University</strong> has hundreds of courses and audio video that will assist you in continuing education. This program can be used for your personal growth or your personal gain. They are located in 108 countries so there are no language barriers ther.

I have a dream, now I have an action plan to make that dream come true. </p> <p>When you are ready to open for business, don't be afraid to spend the money to bring your dream alive. Just do your research and spend it in the right places. Look beyond the physical world that you can see, out there, beyond your thoughts and emotions, there exists another world - the Internet.</p> <p>I wish you the best if you should decide to follow your dream. Stay in touch, and let me know how it goes for you.

<br />There is no question why so many people are turning to the internet to start a new career. With the economy struggling like it is today, the internet seems to be one of the few industries still going strong. Here are six benefits to working at home today. 1. Create your own schedule. As you may know, the internet never sleeps. Because of this, you have the ability to work whatever hours you want. You can work a night shift or a day shift. This gives you an endless amount of freedom for when you work and when you take vacation time as well. Just make sure you do put together a schedule to follow. 2. Do what you want. One of the greatest things about the internet is that you have the ability to do whatever you want. As long as there is interest in your niche, you can start a business with it. And believe me when I say, there is interest in just about anything you can think of. 3. You are the boss. When working at home, you will find that you are the boss of your business. You have the power to take your business in whatever direction you want, set the deadlines, and start projects you think are appropriate for the business. There is no greater feeling than knowing you no longer have to look up to someone and take orders. 4. Multiple tasks. The problem with some jobs is that you get into a groove where you wake up and do the same things every day. It becomes a bit monotonous and boring. When you work at home, you have multiple tasks and responsibilities. You are the boss, writer, designers, marketer, and customer service. There is never a dull moment when running your own business. 5. No peak. In addition to doing the same thing every day, many jobs have a peak where you can go no further. As soon as you reach this peak, you will have topped out. With the internet, there is no peak. You can continue to excel your business and increase your income over time. 6. More family time. The last benefit to working at home is that you will have the opportunity to spend more family time. Finally, you will be able to make it to your kids extracurricular activities and take your spouse out on a date. These are the moments you do not want to miss out on because of work. Working at home provides you with a number of benefits you will find in no other industry. Take advantage of the numerous opportunities online today and start living life to the fullest.

Take Your Redundancy And Commence An Online Business.<br /><br /><strong>Author: <a title="Angelys Groshong" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/angelys-groshong/83536.htm">Angelys Groshong</a></strong><br /><br />The idea of the Internet millionaire is one that pervades society's conceptions of working at home and making money from the Internet. The thing that makes this every one of the more appealing and intriguing is the article of Mark Zuckerberg, inventor of Facebook, who has made $700 million from his procreation. Obviously, not everyone aspires to create a super website and become a billionaire overnight, like Zuckerberg, but this shows that there is much to be gained from working the Internet. To make things more unusual, we can make money from the Internet in the comfort of our own homes. There are legions motivators why individuals pick to quit their job and deploy a home organization. The biggest reason of all is the realisation of personal freedom that folk don't find in being an employee. Although home venture may burn you out just like day jobs, you do so because you want to. Thus, you are free to decide what floats your boat. At the same time, you find a larger measure of selfhood-responsibility and accountability. What you earn depends on your craft and how much work you put into it - something that can't be said with a day job. Working at home is not as easy as humans perceive it to be. It is not something that is easy to get into and easy to get out of. One has to approach it with a plan. There must exist some sort of prior market knowledge, or a willingness to study the market to identify solid opportunities and people to cater to. This could be done in myriad ways these as curious the libraries and the rest of the Internet for data sources, or sending out surveys to populace, or even holding focused group discussions on what members of public look for on the Internet. One may also spend time browsing forums to study the generally dissimilar behaviour of online folk. Through these methods, one may get a reputable idea of what is needed to create a successful shop from home. The matter of finding finance is an easy one. A web site is not expensive to host and only requires a domain alias and web space to get going. The entrepreneur could just forgo ordering pizza for a month and be able to make a enter-up web-site. While the site maintenance is significantly harder than starting the site itself, there are many advertising options that could give a steady revenue flow to the web-site. A prominent one is Google ads, which basically dominate the world of forums. One must be careful, but, in choosing ads, because at times they can make or break the clients' conception of the web site. Web designers display to make doubtless that the advertisements cater to the target market. Every company in this age should show an online presence. A simple website will broadcast your company's information on a wide audience. Creating a web site these days is very affordable - you can even do it for free with online tools. Though, if you want to create an character, or change your client's perceptions, you should consult professionals in the field of Internet marketing. They present the necessary skills to put your company in the right suburb and reach your clients with preeminent ease. You may also create your own web-site if you know the basic tools.
