Economical Business Online101

In today's economical downturn, people are looking for a way to save a buck. Old school teaching taught us that to make a buck, you have to spend a buck. This is true for online businesses as well. If you are a frugal shopper you will be able to economize and still get an online business started. You should be able to get a decent site up for about $100.00.

SO YOU WANT TO BE RICH
Can you handle it? That is the question. First of all, you can economize your excursion into the "ONLINE-OPRANET" by seeking out the truth on the net. Many sites will mislead you. You must be aware of the traps designed to insure that you will fail. Money grabbing sites that take your name and email then promise to send you to a site where you don't have to do anything just make money are scams. I don't care who they are, they are scamming you.

First of all they lie when they say you don't have to do anything. You do have to do something if you want to make money online.

WORK INVOLVED
You must decide on a market for your business. In other words, what will you be selling, shoes, makeup, gardening equipment, etc. Once you have reached this level, you must then decide on a name for your business and secure a domain name, then hosting for that domain name.

You will have to figure out what keywords you will use to get the search engines to your site. Then and only then are you just starting to get the idea that, yes there is work involved.

ECONOMICS 101 INTERNET STYLE
Securing a domain name is simple, you just plug in the domain name you want and the company that sells domain names will search to see if that domain name is free, if it is, BINGO you can own it. The cost to do this is minimal...I have seen some advertised as low as $1.98 and up.

Then you must secure hosting for your domain name because as of right now it is just floating in the air. There are many hosting companies out there, but the best I have ever used is Hostgator.com The quality of service by far surpasses any I have ever seen. The site is user friendly and this is a must. Hostgator.com is also very reasonable.

TOOLS
Now that you have your site and hosting you must concentrate on the tools you will need to get your site pulled together for the public to see. It is like painting a picture, you don't show the rough draft sketches to your audience, you wait until you have the finished product. It is the same thing with your site, wait until you pull it all together and have all the tools on your site and then you can present it to your audience.

When speaking of tools-of-the-trade, take a look at Wealthy Affiliate. This site has all the tools you will need and they have a crash course also. Follow their instructions and you will be in business in less than a week and earning income.

Another great tool for your ONLINE-OPRANET is Squidoo. Kelly Stone, who is the Queen of Squidoo will put you through the paces to help make you think, make you a better blogger, better site owner and money maker too. Now how can you go wrong with all this advice in one place.

SUMMARIZE
If you are really interested in starting a money making online business go DIRECTLY to Squidoo, and tell Kelly The Finder sent you. Then go to Wealthy Affiliate and tell Kyle and Carson hello for me. I promise that you will not regret it. Both sites are free to join and you can start immediately.

How to make it through this recession...

In this time and place, people are losing their jobs, and their homes because of the economy and families are wondering what to do to make things work. After clearing your head and realizing that there is a problem and without your know how and muscle, the problems will only get worse. Better yet, waiting for someone to "fix" the problem, or waiting for someone to "give" you a job, why not create your own wealth, or at least your own income?


There are many ways to do this, decide what you do best and take some iniative to determine how you can make it work for you by educating yourself. People in society today are tired of the same old cliches about money and how to make money. Scams are a dime a dozen on the internet and every where you go. Busnesses want you to spend your money with them, advertising has got to be at an all time high. The marketplace is filled with what you need to do with your money. Everyone wants your money. Why not keep your money and learn how to make more money.


If businesses have to downsize to survive, do you not think that you will have to downsize? Most people think oh my income has changed and we cannot live like we are use to living, what am I to do. The criers don't win, they are the losers. Don't be a loser, decide what you can do and approach it as though it is your business, because it really is. Invest in the knowledge you already have and find your niche in the marketplace and make it work for you. If you like to cook, create a recipe book for the neighborhood, or better still a e-recipe book, sell it on the internet, sell it to your neighbors. If you like to cook, host a Friday Fish Cookout, sell plates of fish. There are thousands of ways to create income to keep you eating while you figure out how to earn more income. As a society we are too dependent upon someone else telling us what has to be done and giving us a little pentance at the end of the workweek and then one day the boss arrives, his profits are down and your history.


All too often this happens and one tends to get frantic, instead of panicking, sit down with paper and pen decide what things you can live without and downsize immediately. If you have not downsized already, you are running late. If you have lost your job, don't run looking for a job, a j.o.b. means just over broke. Again, you will be putting yourself at someone elses' disposal. Decide what you can do and find creative ways to make it work for you and the people you have to support. Call a family meeting, get everybody in on the action and you will be surprised at what you can learn from others in your group. Neighbors become good friends when they have to rely on each other to survive, let us get back to basics.


If this sounds like cornpone to you, try losing two thirds of your income on the first day of the week, with all expenses still to be paid and you have nothing to fall back on. Try being a single mom with children who are dependent on you to eat. This is not the time to panic, but it is time to take action.


Make a list of the things you can do without. I lost two thirds of my income at 10 am one day, by 5pm I had downsized $250 dollars of monthly expenses immediately. That was only the beginning, I started looking for ways to make money using the knowledge I already had. I did not go job hunting as I was sick and tired of people making money off of my sweat and I decided that day that I would make this work. It has been seven months since this happened and I will never look for another job. I put my skills to work for me. I now have more income, more free time to spend with my kids and less worries, because I know that I will not lay me off, I will not fire me and the kids will eat and live well. I am not a college graduate, I don't have a degree, but I found ways to cut back and ways to promote my talents and now I own my own business. With the $250 I cutback by downsizing, I started by own business. No get rich quick schemes, they don't work, you just give your money to someone else while they are going to the bank, your still wondering how to feed the kids. There is no FREE lunch!
