Best Business To Start – Start Within

If we are talking about the best business to start why would I go into a Yoda like phrase of  “Start Within”.

Well, there are a couple of reasons why but let's focus our force… Okay… I'll cut the Yoda talk.

Best Business To Start – Increase Your Personal Value

Regardless of the business most successful ones are run by highly motivated people who have succeeded in their past life

experiences. Be it from real estate to stock trader the person driving the ship, the captain, normally has some special skills they have developed over time that allows them to be successful.

Of course you will have the ones that have no skill set except have a ton of money but that in itself has it's own particular traits. Being an investor takes a lot skills that most people don't have like for one… Balls.

If your new to working for yourself and you have always had someone “boss you around” and your looking for an outlet I would highly recommend before you start looking for that best business to start to go ahead and start to invest in yourself.

You need to figure out what makes you tick. Having passion for a business goes a long way. Sure it's not necessary but most businesses fail because of the lack of cash flow but if you have a passion for your industry you will stick in for the long run.

The only other way around build a business where you don't have a passion for it is if it's sustainable. So that it can grow and eventually take on a life of it's own while being for the most part cash positive. (more…)

Article Marketing Tips – Face Punch A Panda

Here are some article marketing tips I found after reading some test studies from people who use UAW.

Before I dive into the testing of another user I wanted to touch on the Google Panda issue. For most the Google Panda was supposed to target content farms and essentially bring down no value adsense sites. Now no value is subjective but in the end duplicate sites and auto-blogs were supposed to be de-ranked and allow valuable sites to make it to the top.

The Event happened April 2011 and 25% of my sites got gobbled up by the panda.

It's not like there is that one that could solve the main issue of – making money

MLM opportunities are vehicles. If you understand that many are great, some are good, and others are plain trash you will get the idea that you just need to partner with the ones that fill your needs and move on from there. Too many reps get too caught up in the perfect one and instead of building anything they join they keep searching for the pot of gold. This is a mistake and why so many fail.

MLM opportunities need to treated like a vehicle to make money and that there will be a certain few that you could definitely put your name behind and you would be more than happy to buy the product or use the service. MLM opportunities are like any other business model in that it will take time and money. (more…)
