Starting An Online Business
January 17, 2008
Have you decided to start your own online business but don’t know where to start? Well be prepared for a lot of research and planning…..Firstly you will need to decide how much money you are prepared to invest, but don’t worry that it’s not going to cost a small fortune, as with a bit of time and effort on your part, you could start your online business for less than $100! You could start off by performing a google search on the particular field you are interested in (ie search ‘health & fitness’ if you are considering this as your line of business) to check if there’s sufficient demand for your product, and to see the competition (so you are fully aware of how many other sites you’ll be up against). Check out the competition to see what aspects of their websites you like/dislike, as you may later want to consider incorporating the features you particularly like in your own website. If, on the other hand, you are considering affiliate marketing, or ebooks/programs for resell purposes, do a search to see what is on offer, and pick up any freebies along the way (as these can be used later as your giveaways).
Be very careful not to pay for anything before checking it out - this can be done in a google search by simply adding the word ’scam’ after the product, or author’s name, and see what comes up. Take particular interest in any comments on forums/messageboards. Lastly make sure:
- You know exactly what you are buying
- That there is a contact number/email address - contact the seller with any questions to see how long it takes them to get back to you
- That the product operates a money back guarantee - Although this should not be relied upon
Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a good starting point for beginners, as you are promoting someone else’s product/service, and earn a commission for every person who purchases through your link. Although it is not strictly necessary to have your own website as an ‘Affiliate’, it is a lot harder without one. There are a number of ways you can promote your website, in blogs, forums etc, whereas promoting an affiliate link is often frowned upon, particularly in forums, or on message boards, if you are a recent member/contributer!
We will cover this subject in more depth later, as I’m hoping this will develop into an informal inclusive community area, with proactive contributors willing to pass on tips, advice, and generally helping each other on the road to success.

About My Company - Property Services
January 16, 2008
For over 10yrs I have been running a business offering various property services within England & Wales, and our clients range from big Plc’s to the general public. The services we provide are:
Property Searches
Would you like to know who owns a particular property, or piece of land?
How much they paid for it?
If the property is mortgaged, and with whom?
If there are any other charges or cautions on the property?
Who owned the property prior to the present owners?
In most cases we can email the search results to you within 2 hrs!
For further details: Click Here
Property Investment Service
With the recent drop in house prices, I feel that soon it could be a potentially good time to invest in property, and Cornwall has fast become an extremely popular place to own a second home. Most people who own second homes here look at their purchase purely as a holiday home, and do not, therefore, take advantage of the full potential of their investment property. The reason for this is possibly twofolda) They use the property for their annual holiday
b) The traditional holiday rental companies do not have the facility to offer a full management service, whereby the owners are required to organise the cleaning, key handover etc.
The result is they miss out on a very lucrative source of extra income, as good self-catering accommodation is in high demand during the summer period, reaching upwards of £400pw in July/August for a reasonable 2/3 bed house. Our services offer all/any of the following:
1. Select your ideal investment property, based on your requirements & preferences.
2. View the properties you have pre-selected and send you a detailed report & video images.
3. Organise any improvements, decorating, and furnishings, if required.
4. Arrange the cleaning, key handover/check-in, check-out, and any repairs (if required)
Relocation Service - Full or Bespoke Service

The Code That ‘FORCES’ You To Make Money!
January 16, 2008
I just found out that there’s a brand new site that is giving out a “magic code” that when added to any site FORCES it to just start making money!
No kidding! - you just add the code, and like magic your site just starts pouring money into your pocket!
I’m NOT joking - they’ll show you PROOF in a moment!
But what you need to know most is this:
After adding just this code, you don’t have to do anything else! You just sit back and make all the cash you could ever ask for! It all comes in a simple little PDF that contains everything you need, including full instructions, so you can get started in the next 15 minutes!
>> My advice would be to move on and get there FAST!
It’s rumored that the guy who operates the site may either LIMIT how many people are allowed in on his “secret magic code,” or at the very least “choke” down the flow of how many people he gives it out to, and so as not to let just anybody and everybody spoil this.
I also heard that he may stop offering anymore copies after some time (and without notice) just to keep competition “alive and well” (but who really knows?)
Regardless of which, it’s my understanding that once you’re in, *YOU’RE IN!*
(So I wouldn’t waste time if I were you, or worse still: I WOULD NOT RISK IT!)
PROOF!…
I just happen to have the link in case you’re smart and want in just like me and the few others who’ve found this so far: Click Here!
**Just DON’T be shocked in case when you get there they’re closed to any further copies being given out!
(But just don’t say I didn’t warn you!)

Finding it difficult to sort the wheat from the chaf?…Confused?……..You will be!
January 13, 2008
Firstly, lets get one thing straight, I have not actively promoted any these programs before, nor have a made any money from any of them. It was whist looking for a genuine online business opportunity for my sister that I realised my main problem was that there is such a plethora of services, products, tools and ebooks of such mind boggling proportions that you can end up suffering from a severe case of information overload, making it really difficult to see the wood for the trees! After weeks of intrepidly wading through the (seemingly endless) pages of emails with their seductive promises of ‘Make Money On Autopilot’; ‘Plug-In Cash Machine’ programs and an impressive collection of ebook freebies cluttering up my inbox, I decided to check into the more convincing of them. I started by immediately eliminating the ones I considered looked too much like ’scam’, or over hyped, type programs, and concentrated on the others. Sadly, so far, I have found very few who are willing to pass on their knowledge, or to provide any useful tutorials, however, there are a few programs that are interesting, or appear to want to help you succeed.
I thought it might be nice to share my findings with all of you who are stuggling, like I was, to find the best of the programs/ebooks on offer, but before I continue, I want to be completely upfront with you by telling you that I have joined only a few of these programs to see how they work out, but I will tell you in each case if I have joined, or If I’m an affiliate of the program/ebook.
Ewen Chia
I am not an affiliate of Ewen’s, nor have I purchased of any of his products…yet! I have, however, downloaded his free website builder and all the freebies offered, and I have to say that I really like this guy! What really makes him stand out from the crowd is that he really seems to want to give you great value - A free website builder and lots of easy to follow step-by-step tutorials…..even without buying a thing! To find out more: http://www.ewenchia.com/
=============================================================
Your Recommendations
January 13, 2008
Do you know of any genuine programs that really do work? Willing to share them?
I’m hoping that this can be the one place people can trust to help them find genuine opportunities to make some money, so I’m really interested in hearing your honest recommendations.
In Focus: Holly Mann
January 13, 2008
Finally, I’ve found my Holy Grail……..and it’s Holly Mann!
In fact it’s down to Ms Mann, and her special offer, that this website is in existance at all. There are so many ebooks & programs out there, with their promises of instant wealth, that it’s so refreshing when you come accross a site like Holly’s, that will teach you the tried and tested techniques to set up a profitable online business. So if you are serious about starting an online business, and looking for reliable information and sensible advice, I would strongly suggest you start there. Holly doesn’t yet opperate an affiliate program, so I’ve nothing financially to gain from my recommendation. For further information
Newbie & Wannabe Entrepreneurs
January 13, 2008
It’s a jungle out there for us newbies
Having tried to negotiate the minefield that is the endless stream of ebooks, latest launches of the ‘Gurus’, and waded through the hundreds of emails that promise to help me ‘become a millionaire’ littering my mailbox all I have to show for my efforts are a couple of well presented programs ranging at between $400 - $2000, and amassed quite an impressive collection of ‘Freebies’ that now decorate my desktop! I became so disillusioned and frustrated that I decided to start a website in the form of a club to help point people in the right direction, afterall, there must be other people like me out there who would really appreciate some help and advice, or even to form joint ventures by way of a collaboration.
