Setting Up Your Own Business

Add to Technorati Favorites
Now this took up a very large chunk of my summer holiday. I put a lot of thought into this, and did a LOT of reading up on it. I found it all rather interesting to be honest. Luckily for me I found a really helpful website, which I highly recommend. It’s called Weber Internet Marketing. This site is run by Steve Weber, and he really is a great guy. Normally when you look at similar sites you are bombarded with how much money you will earn, and how simple it is. This guy tells it straight. He’ll tell you ways in which you won’t earn money and he’ll tell you it takes time and effort.

I joined his program after reading a few of his replies in various forums. You really won’t be disappointed if you join his site. On there are numerous videos (very detailed too!) showing you what you need to do in order to setup your own internet business. This includes information on finding a niche market, how to setup your own website, where to go to host this site, help on how to get it on Google’s front page and much more. There’s also information on there about Google’s AdWords too, although I’ve never tried that.

His website really did encourage me to start thinking about setting up my own website. I had an idea of a niche product that I had some knowledge about that I could actually sell. The trouble is I’m still only 20. I know little in the world of business, I’m not brave enough to invest that much money to host a website and the thought of buying cases of product really scares me right now. I just don’t have enough money if it all went wrong. On top of that there’s the fact I’m still at uni. What if I sold loads of these things? Where would I find the time to manage a site, prepare orders and reply to emails etc. It just isn’t viable for someone in my position right now. But to be honest, I really like the idea and one day may come back to it.

So what’s the point of this post? Well it’s to show that there are legit people out there who are making money from the internet, yet at the same want to help others do the same. I even emailed Steve Weber and he replied in person. How many online marketing sites would do that? He even hosts live web seminars. Now I know I’ve given this guy good praises, I’m not working for him, and I won’t earn any money if you click that link above either. I just want people who are considering setting up an online business to get some good advice, from someone who isn’t going to hang you out to dry once you’ve signed up.

I believe that this could potentially be a gold mine for someone who’s got enough time on their hands to set this up. You will also have to be able to afford to lose a bit of money at first in order to gain in the long run. These are the only reasons I haven’t given this a go.
