Affiliate Marketing Blog |

I just started a strictly internet businees around a week ago, and I am curious to hear what the experiences have been from other internet business owners.

All topic-related stories are welcomed, but I am ideally looking for :

1. Internet businesses that opened within the last 2-3 years.
2. Retail (preferably clothing) related

How did your business do at the start? Was it dead and then started to build slowly? Did it start off hot and then die out? Did it start hot (or not) and has it pretty much stayed that way the entire time?

Nothing happens over night I dont care what it is. My Online businesses started off as pure crap and I had to work 2 full time jobs. But that was 3 years ago. Now im self employed. just remember when your in business for yourself to save as much money as you can or to invest in other things because their will always be up and down moments.

I have been trying to start my own internet based business for a long time now and i just cant seem to find anything that works. I have paid for several products that say that will easily help me start an online business with no success. None of the products have made me money and I even lost money in some situations. Please give me advice on a good way to start a legitimate internet based business. Thank You

Hey I feel your pain I had the same problem and it was very frustrating. By luck I happened to come across http://m875.blogspot.com/ this blog that gave me the solution to my problem I’m sure it will help you also. Everything this blog teaches is free, that’s good cause I’m sure your not too willing to spend money on something after all the products you have already tried that have not done anything for you. Check out the featured money making strategy on the first page of this blog, this really helped me greatly. Big thanks to this blog.

I want to establish my own internet business. I hope you can help me guys. Better if you can give me links for training mediums on how to start it.

I found a lot of informationn here, I found the affiliate marketing section quite helpful.

Also the site has a free e-book, written by a super affiliate marketer - I advise you should get your information on this stuff from those who are successful.

I want to start my own business on the internet, create my own site and sell girl type products on it. How do I do that, where can I find suppliers and where can I get help to finance it?

Do a search for "drop-shippers" and the type of products you want to sell. Also make sure to learn all you can about Internet Marketing while your at it. The Easy part is finding the products and building the website, the hard part is marketing your business so that people find it and discover it.

Hello! I’m doing a little project that I need to write about and need to get some ideas. If you had access to all the internet bandwidth you could possibly think of and had all the server equipment and firewalls you could possibly need, what kind of Internet business would YOU set up?
BTW, i do not want to see anything related to "porn" because that’s not something that i’m allowed to write about =). Thanks for responding!

Wow…Thats is a tuff question considering all of the internet businesses already in action. Personally I would probably create a Virtual Reality Business in which people could interact completely in a virtual world with economy,money, government, voting etc….The users could create their own world and invite other to join as career people in their world…even conduct interviews. I’m talking a lot of work here for this to become a reality….and a lot of time someone would have to invest in the program. You could get very creative with this concept. (""MAC"") Nobody can steal my idea now! :p lol I officially claim it as my own! (MAC) VIRTUAL MAC WORLD!

I want to start a internet business or home business to earn more money. Please suggest a honest company. If you have any other suggestion for business.

read this article. it was written by a board member of an American company, to help others from getting scammed.

I wanted to order some furniture from an online business that advertised on a local site. I cannot find any reviews on this company. Where should I look. I would mention the name but I think that is against the rules. Please help me to educate myself on researching internet businesses and what to look for. Thank you.

I am completely new at starting my own business. I want to start selling items off the internet. What is some good information that can help me start my own business? Do I need the go to business course in college or get a license?

You don’t NEED to take business classes, but if you want to begin a business, I really recommend taking at least one business class at the local community college. That way, you can know the negatives and positives of business and get some background on the process of owning a business.

To have a legitimate business, you need AT LEAST these 4 things.
1. DBA (doing business as) or FBN (fictitious business name)- so that you don’t need to do business under your name. Then you will need to get it printed in the local newspaper for 4 consecutive weeks.
2. EIN (employee id number)- so that you do not need to use your own social security number.
3. Seller’s Permit/ Tax ID- so that you can purchase wholesale and your state can collect their tax.
4. Business license
(all in that order).

Get your domain (www.yourname.com). You can get this from godaddy.com for $10 a year.

Getting the actual website will be the hardest part. You have three options.
1. Make it yourself.
2. Use a premade template.
3. Hire a designer.

I highly suggest hiring a designer. This is why:
1. Unless you know html coding, it will be nearly impossible to create your own website.
2. Templates are not very customizable.
3. Templates may end up looking unprofessional.
Those are the reasons I can think of off the top of my head. I’m sure there are many other reasons.
Hiring a designer has its positives.
For one, you will be working with a professional! This person will hopefully work with you until the site is up to your standards. A designer will give the site a more professional and unique feel, etc.
Finding a designer is a very difficult process.
If you aren’t any good with codes, make sure that the designer offers an admin spot where you can easily update the site with out coding knowledge.
Its always great when the shopping cart is included in the one time fee. Most shopping carts are about $30 a month and increase as you add more products to your site.
It ends up getting ridiculous!! Some designers offer you a one time fee for the use of their shopping cart.
Then, you will need a web host. Some designers will recommend a site for you to use. In any case, you should always check with the designer before choosing a host, because some hosting services do not work well with the shopping cart your designer provides.

You will also need a merchant account to accept payment from customers.
You can use a place such as authorize.net or Paypal (which no longers requires that customers make an account and accepts credit cards).

Of course, you will need to think of what products you will be selling.
Where will you get them?
Who is your target market?
What is your price range?
etc.

Good Luck!!!

I am currently living in Mexico but I am an American citizen. I am currently working on an information website that I hope to make a few bucks here or there with advertisement. I do not want to register my business in Mexico. What do I have to do to make my internet business legal in the states?

Any information will be greatly appreciated!

What type of internet business are you running? E-commerce? Affiliation? Internet Marketing?

Of course the best course would be to go through a lawyer not only to give you legal advice but to prepare the proper documentation.

Otherwise, you’ll need a disclaimer page, privacy policy page, and have your website copyrighted. You may also need to submit an EIN number for tax purposes (many times you only need your ss), sales permit, and/or business permit depending on what state you live in.

Hope this helps

I want to know what it takes to start an Internet based business small from, say, a back bedroom, and grow it into a multimillion pound company with offices all over, i.e. in terms of cost to start the company and how you would go about building it into a strong business?

It needs to be a product that people have a track record of buying, that you are able to reach those buyers easily and that has lots of repeat business and referral potential.

It can cost a very small amount to set up the back bedroom operation - computer with internet connection and a domain name with web hosting.

If you’re running it as an internet business do you really need lots of offices? It may be more viable to outsource some things and do the rest from your "headquarters".

The first thing to do is your research into your potential market and then to put together a plan for how you’re going to run the business.

Good luck!
