Warning: Don't Make Mistakes With Your Online Business...

So you want to start a successful online business, right? Before you begin counting all of your cyber money and living in that dream house by the ocean, there are a few things you should know.

Many people fall into a few common pitfalls and knowing these BEFORE you start can save you years of frustration. Here are 3 tops to starting a successful online business that you won’t find anywhere else:

1) Realize that your internet company is also going to require working offline as well. Too many people think that you just put up a website and make money. You need to treat your company the same way that you would treat a traditional ‘brick & mortar’ establishment.

2) Use experts as soon as possible. We all start out on a budget, but if you want to start a successful online business, you need to look better than the next guy on the net. Trying to do it all yourself will cost you a whole lot more than it will save you, so hire good people to help you build your firm. Professional web developers, marketers, programmers, etc. are very affordable if you know where to look. Consider www.elance.com or www.rentacoder.com to find cost effective solutions to helping your over the internet learning curve.
3) Learn from the best professionals possible. There are a lot of people claiming to have the ‘holy grail’ of starting a successful online business- so do your research. Find a company that has been around for a while (at least a few years) and that offers a comprehensive educational system. All companies are going to offer testimonials so look for 3rd party endorsements (not paid reviews). Try www.WarriorForum.com to check up on legitimate product and company reviews.

NOTE: I highly recommend The Internet Marketing Center or http://MassiveMarketingSystem.com as 2 reputable places to start.

If you use these tips to help start your successful online business, you will be way ahead of the curve. Just like a traditional company, you won’t see amazing results overnight, but if you continue to track, test, and build your customer list- you’ll continually make more profits.

How to Improve Your Cashflow In A Recession

I am often asked about ways to get out of debt without spending any additional money out of your pocket, and there are a lot of answers to that questions. However, a better question to ask would be what are the ways to improve your cashflow in our current recession.

This is because if you only have a dollar to spend, then you have to take from one area to pay more towards another, right? But if you can find a way to turn a dollar into $2 or $3 or more, then you can get out of debt more quickly because you can pay more toward your debt.

There are several ways to improve your cashflow (even in a recession):

1) Get a part time job on the weekends or evenings. This isn’t easy if you have a family or other obligations, but even an extra $100 per week can go a LONG way toward paying down your debt.

2) Find a way to get paid for a skill or hobby that you enjoy and are already doing. For example, I love swing dancing and go out dancing regularly as part of my social life. Because of this, I’ve found people who will pay me to teach them how to dance, and it doesn’t feel like a ‘JOB’.

3) Start a home based business. There are many good websites that teach people how to make money from home such as: http://MassiveMarketingSystem.com or The Internet Marketing Center. There are also ways to make money taking surveys, selling your goods on ebay and more. This area is only limited by your imagination, and I’m more than happy to help you find something that works for you. (Just leave a comment)

The current state of the economy is actually working in your favor in many ways by offering good prices on large ticket items (real estate, cars, equipment, etc.), lenders being willing to negotiate on credit cards, mortgages and more - as well as historically low interest rates for loans. However, you can only take advantage of these if you have the resources to do so…

Send me your questions, and I’ll be sure to help you to understand your options and improve your cashflow in the recession.
