Guest post by: Erica Njie

Article Overview: Start your business in the correct manner and you will be able to make money for years once it is up and running. It is smart to not only have goals, but also a well-laid out plan of action that you will be able to follow. As a matter of fact, running your business and your life in this manner will allow you to prosper in each of these areas.

START YOUR BUSINESS CORRECTLY AND CONTINUE IT FOR YEARS

Start your business in the correct manner and you will be able to make money for years once it is up and running. It is smart to not only have goals, but also a well-laid out plan of action that you will be able to follow. As a matter of fact, running your business and your life in this manner will allow you to prosper in each of these areas. Simply put, if you know where you want to finish, you will be able to arrive at that location with less issues. It is no different from driving. If we want to drive to a given place, it makes sense to have the directions before we leave or we will end up getting lost. In the same way, online business owners without a plan will fail because they do not know where they are headed and have no direction.

Having the desire to obtain a great deal of cash is a worthy dream for which to strive, but money will not magically appear in your bank account if you do not plan have a plan to earn that cash. What is your plan to obtain online wealth? Which path of income are you following? If you are not able to answer these questions quickly, you need to sit down with a pen and a pad and chart your path to greatness.

The time to rely on others to take you to your destination is over. When all is said and done, you are the only one who can be held accountable for your actions to start your business correctly. You can only blame yourself, if you have not gotten to where you want to go during your online business journey. Don't get me wrong, learn all that you can from your mentors, study great courses that will make you a trained internet marketing assassin, but remember to start your business correctly with a plan so that you know where you want to be in 5 years.

Once you have come up with an incredible plan of action, decide to follow your plan at all costs. Focusing on your plan will help you to steer clear of all nuisances that may arise in the midst of your quest to prosper. This can be a grueling job, but this is what will separate the online stars that are still here in 5 years from those who are gone in a few weeks. Which person will you be?

Re: Is Ewen Chia a SCAM artist? - Hi T.J. Ewen Chia is not a scam artist, he is a very good internet marketer, and considered a guru. Why? Because he is. He spent YEARS, before making his real money, all real gurus did, they just don't let you know that in their sales letter, this is why it's called sales letter, they only tell you how much money they make, with out sharing the hard work, the sleepless nights, and all the failures on the way to success. He manged to build a name for himself, and many internet marketer follow him - that's a guru. I never bought one of his books, but you DID made some sales, so it must be working for you. If you keep following his weekly plan, your sales will grow, and maybe one day you will share with others how you made your first million. Ewen Chia, started with a PIPS site like me and and like 3 other moderators here in the forum, and many other members in this forum. Many people never get to keep their websites, some stick with it, and the strong ones, take off and build a business. Last, if you are not happy you can always ask for a refund.
Re: SEEKING PRIVATE OR ANGEL INVESTOR - Definitely have a thorough and accurate business plan. In the US, you can get help at SCORE - their website is full of great information and you can check for local chapters. If you would like a book that has all kinds of great information about financing options - this one is very good --- HOW TO GET THE FINANCING FOR YOUR NEW SMALL BUSINESS: INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FROM THE EXPERTS WHO DO IT EVERY DAY—WITH CD-ROM This new book will provide you with a road map to securing the financing. The book goes into traditional financing methods and assists the reader in setting up proper financial statements and a proper business plan. It details the differences between debt and equity financing and how and why to use each. Valuation techniques are explained for determining what your business is truly worth. However, the book’s real strength is in explaining alternative and creative methods of financing, such as SBA financing, investor angels, IPOs, limited public offerings and venture capital. Essential resources for finding the detailed information you need are included throughout. Item # 9780910627559 $39.95 Shri
Re: I want to make money online - First, I'd say definitely online. Your $3,000 will go a lot further online than offline. Second, I'd read Kevin's list and the linked article and make a BUSINESS decision what you want to do, what you can offer and who you can sell it to. Do some serious keyword search and find a hungry niche, and this is your start (free). Second step (free): Sign up for clickbank, paydotcom or some other affiliate exchange and find suitable products to promote. Third step (free): Get a free site somewhere, but make sure it's on something that looks like its own domain - yourname.wordpress.com or yourname.blogspot.com or some such. Write some nice things that promote your affiliate products and put your affiliate links on the page. Fourth step (free): Go on article directories like evancarmiahcel.com (if appropriate) or ezinearticles.com and write stuff that is interesting for your niche, using your niche keywords. Put a link to your new site in the resource box/bio. Keep doing this until you make money. My kids (18 and 12 at the time) sold stuff on clickbank. Anyone can do this. Good luck!
Are you Self Employed or a Business Woman? - Us women are especially vulnerable to thinking we can do EVERYTHING ourselves! I'm not immune to this way of thinking either. (It seems to go with the territory of having XX chromosomes and growing up in our North American culture.) Anyhow, this kind of thinking can actually trip us women up when it comes to business. I've heard it said that a true business is something you create that can eventually run by itself. A business is meant to give us freedom and not tie us down. A business works FOR YOU. If you are the one working FOR YOUR BUSINESS, then I invite you to open up to the possibility of using your entrepreneur skills to recreate a business that works for you. When I was first challenged on this concept, it was a huge AHA moment. I am grateful because I realized I was still a little stuck on working harder instead of working smarter. I've opened up to a whole new world of possibility and now I'm thinking MUCH BIGGER than before. I expect my income will be much bigger as well. In all honesty, I've realized that my coaching business has been a glorified job. I will still do coaching because I love to do it, but now I am in the process of developing multiple streams of income that use my time more efficiently and products that sell even while I'm on holidays. I'm also developing a retail store which will eventually mostly run itself. Then I will move on to my next project. It's liberating to be on the path of creating businesses that work FOR me. This is how I can run multiple companies without wearing out! In fact, I plan on having MORE time for me. So, what are you doing? Are you self employed or running a business?
Re: Hi From START.ac CrowdFunding - [quote="START.ac":38qff2xh]Hi Mal, The idea of CrowdFunding is not to have a few investors giving large sums of money, but instead hundreds of everyday people giving a few dollars. So, to answer the question, the funding comes from the general public. Here is an example: You have a great idea for an invention that will allow water to be automatically cleansed when you put it into this "Cleansing Glass" (this is just an example, not a real invention) You post a description and video on our site, set a funding goal and a time period to raise it. Through our members on the site, our social media, your social media and your connections, this project is displayed on our site, where anyone from anywhere in the world can give anywhere from $1 to $500 towards your goal. In return these individuals get rewards. For example: "For $25 you will get your own Cleansing Glass and a personal postcard from the inventor" "For $150 you will get a personalized glass with your name and your name credited on the website for helping to create this project" etc etc. If you reach your funding goal in the time frame you set, then you get all the money. Even if it goes over. For example, the Pebble Watch only wanted to raise $100,000 but has raised over $9 million! And their funding is not up! We have been building our database of founding members on our pre-launch page for a couple of month, and have a huge social media following already. These are the "investors" in a sense, and this is where the money comes from. We are also opening up the CrowdFunding market to technology gadgets, industrial designs and start-ups. So when an entrepreneur has a great idea, they can potentially raise the funds they need by using CrowdFunding, versus getting investors to invest large amounts of money in return for ownership. I hope this answers your question! If not, or if you still have questions I really enjoy the interaction! Thanks! Jayni [quote="Mal Tindle":38qff2xh]Hi, Thank you for the explanation, the thought of giving financial help to start ups and new projects is laudible. May I ask,where is the initial funding coming from and how will you finance the projects as and when they come in. Do you have a start up reserve fund to get you going are you relying on convincing investors to release money to you over the Internet. The reason I ask is that entrepreneurial help is what this forum is about but when it comes to generating cash to invest in new projects then in the present finanicial climate you may find it a very hard sell with investors especially on the Internet as against face to face meetings with interested financiars, just my thoughts, Mal.[/quote:38qff2xh][/quote:38qff2xh] Hi Jayni, Thank you for the explanation, I wish you all the best with the launch next week, regards, Mal.
