Online Business Opportunities -- Yearend 2009

What can I say? Online Business Opportunities 2009? I have not made good of my quest for an Internet Business this year. I have tried and experimented with my own ebook, which I priced at a low price--and I wasn't able to sell even one. OMG! =)

I had one sale though from clickbank for a writing guide ebook. Only $6 commission--and has not been repeated since. OMG! again! =)

I'm frustrated, but not that much: I am doing well with my freelance writing gigs.

But with online business opportunities, I am having second thoughts whether I could really succeed here. But I am not quitting just yet. This year, I have spent lots of money for 'make money online' courses, and I am disappointed. tsk tsk tsk!

My advice: Think twice before buying any of such online courses. There is just no guarantee for success. Look at the earnings disclaimer on their sales pages. There are just too many factors at play that can affect your online success.

You can also just read for free on information on websites around. Then experiment with any learning you have gained. The Internet can provide good information if you know where to look. Also, even some Internet Gurus encourage studying offline systems, techniques and strategies to apply in your online business. For example, they have recommended reading "Scientific Advertising" by Claude Hopkins, etc.

Online Business Opportunities 2010 -- I am optimistic still, OMG! hehe yeah, really, even with my dismal failure. But I am sure I will not be spending that much on Internet Marketing materials. And there are just a few Internet Gurus I trust, now...

Deciding the Online Business Opportunity to Pursue

In the Internet, don't be surprised if you see a lot of online business opportunities--because there is a lot. The question you should answer however is: What are the right online business opportunities for you?

Tips on the right online biz:
1.) Read the online business opportunity carefully. Not all will be right for you. Remember, these online opportunities are also out there, to make money, just like you. There is always a catch to these things--so be wary. In these business opportunities in the Internet, don't be too trusting.
2.) Beware of online biz scams. Just like in the brick and mortar world, there are entities out there that will not think twice of misleading you, and taking your money away from you--right from your very nose. It is thus worthy of your time as well, to read on forums, if these opportunities have complaints already raised; at least you can avoid the headaches these bring.
3.) Don't be in a hurry. If these online business opportunities are the real thing, they will still be there for a long time. So take your time, just bookmark the sites you think are valid, and come back later on.

Succeeding online, is not as easy as you think. Don't easily trust anyone who claims for easy money over the Internet. Sure you can make money, but not unless you have a good product to provide, will you make a good amount of money. Also, if you have a site with high traffic, there is a possibility that your chances of online success are higher--but there is no assurance.

Succeeding online takes time. You have to study the system, and make sure you are not wasting your time and effort. Online success is not impossible, but put in the necessary research and hard work. As time goes by, you will realize these to be true.

For the time being, let us content ourselves with a Merry Christmas =) Sooner or later, we will reach our dreams.

Who wouldn't want to have their own their very own online business?

Many people do want to have the chance to run an online business, and make money out of it. Some would want to do it part time, others would love to do it full-time.

It is a fact that many have prospered with a business in the Internet, but it is also a fact that many have failed. Having an online business may sound simple, but it would take a lot of hardwork.

There are many online businesses to choose from - one needs to be careful where to invest his money though, as like in the brick-and-mortar businesses - scams are as prevalent.

Always have a business plan...

One thing I learned from one of my Chinese bosses was to always have a plan.

He never failed to emphasize the value of having one, as one can only measure where he is now if he has first made a plan, otherwise everything was left to chance afterall.

Thus, before anything else, first, have a plan...

Every peso counts, every cents even...

In business, and in life, if one indeed values money truly, every peso counts.

Especially in business, moreso if one is operating under a tight budget, the cost of operations should be checked.

There are always opportunities for improvements, and for cost savings if one just takes the time to study it.

I've worked under Chinese managers - it is only recently that I appreciate more what it feels like to be in their shoes, now that I'm having my own business...

Is an MBA a requisite for entrepreneurs?

taken from bizdrivenlife.net:

"Is an MBA necessary? If you are like me, a bizdriven person, one of whose goal is to make my dreams come true in the form of my business, then it is. If you want to excel in the field, be one of the top 5 percent of the business, you will. If you want to grow twice, thrice or 10 times your size now, you will. " - Wilson Ng
