Pros and Cons of Starting a Home Catering Business

If you love cooking, baking and serving the general public I have found it may be your calling to start up a home catering business. There are definitely pros and cons to starting up any kind of new business in today’s economy so I always recommend you consider all of your options before choosing.

Pros of a Home Catering Business

One of the biggest pros would have to be catering in general if it is something you love to do. Being able to find something you love and make money from it is like what I did with online marketing. Another pro is the fact that you can set yourself apart from some of the competition by offering foods and services that other catering businesses do not have. In some areas you may be required to do this just to see your business succeed since there is such a huge market for caterers.

Cons of a Home Catering Business

Home catering businesses are often some of the riskiest out there because you really have to work at getting your name out there in order to get clients. Food tastings, advertising, marketing and food costs can all put a damper on starting your new business so always factor in the costs of starting up the business compared to how much revenue you plan to generate. I have a few friends that have their own in home catering businesses and I saw firsthand the things they had to do in order to get the business they needed to stay afloat. (more…)

Effective Keyword Research – Come Get Some

If your looking to jump into online marketing I highly suggest you start to dive into some sound and effective keyword research before you buy up all of these super backlinking tools.

Now don't get me wrong. I love me some off page seo tools but in the end your life is so much easier if you would just learn some effective keyword research.

Here are 3 quick tips to effective keyword research

1) It's a good practice to start with anything that you feel you can write or build content on.

Too many people shy away from weird niches like “how to build a chicken coop”. Sure it just might sound weird but if your in the market of say being an affiliate marketer your job is to get traffic to things that sell. I would first look at a subject matter that you can write some articles about or shoot videos about. If your not ashamed of the subject I say it's fair game.

Don't for a second start boxing yourself into what you can and can't advertise. Unless your selling your own product you really need to branch out and think outside of the box.

iJango Closes It’s Door But Opens To What?

I have spoken and even mentored some people who where in iJango. It's too bad the business fell apart and I can feel your pain since I've been down that road with iLearningGlobal.

I guess business plans that start with “i” only work for ipod, iphone, ipad.

iJango Closes Down

It's never good to kick a company when they are down regardless if your the person telling your team to re-evaluate their business by: “do you really want to put your future in their hands?”.

Hey, maybe they had it good on the inside. Who knows.

I believe this is the 2nd online portal type business I've seen fall down and close shop. The other one I made some cool money with was Winzy and they just disappeared into the night.

Look,  iJango closing down isn't the worst thing in the world. When iLearningGlobal shut it's doors I was pissed but hey, it's a business. Not all businesses make it and times change.

The one constant is you. (more…)
