    The #1 Best Business to Get Into if You Want to Get Rich
    Baffled by the bewildering array of money making opportunities they find in their inboxes and mailboxes, hear from others and on the radio, read in books, ebooks, magazines and newspapers, and see on the Internet and television, I receive questions almost everyday from good, honest, hard working people who are sincerely looking to do better financially...Questions like...Can you really make money in real estate? How about stocks... should I start trading stocks? Should I buy a franchise? Should I get involved in sales? Should I open a business wi

    Wholesale Video Games - Indulging Facts
    So you decided that a wholesale video games business is one of your most precious financial adventures for your beloved 2007. You have decided that it is time for an additional source of income. You probably by now know that having a business established online is one of the most prestigious lazy ways for the small budget guy to make a fortune while still getting to potentially and possibly own your own six figure income home-based-business as a much likely entrepreneur.By now, you also know that you can compete with billion dollar companies, beat them
    Selecting the right domain name is one of the most important business decisions you can make. When you have a business online, you are competing in a global economy with millions of other websites.

    The latest information from Internet World Stats counted over 1 billion Internet users in 2007. According to Rich Miller of Netcraft, an Internet monitoring company that has tracked Web growth since 1995, "There are now 100 million Web sites with domain names and content on them." Of the 100 million websites, about 47 million of them are active sites and competing for visitors.

    Here are some tips to follow in choosing a domain name that makes it easy to find your business on the Internet:

    (1) Choose an easy to spell domain name.

    It does no good to have a website, if no one can find you because your domain name is too difficult to spell.

    Last week I was talking to someone and asked her who the company was that designed her website. She told me the name of the company, and it was some very strange name that didn't make sense to me. I had to ask her twice what the name was and I then asked her to spell it for me. Unfortunately, she couldn't even spell the name because she said the company had a strange spelling, and she could never remember it. I then asked her for the website address, and she couldn't remember how to spe

    So - Are We Having Fun Yet
    Several years ago I worked with a client in the Chicago area. One day during lunch, several of the employees were playing Frisbee out behind the plant. The president came out and asked what they were doing. One of the employees said, “We are on our lunch break and we are playing.” The president replied, “This is a place of business, not a playground. You are here to work, not have fun.” I couldn’t believe my ears. As a consultant for over 25 years, I can tell you that I have never before or since heard such a ridiculous remark from the president of a 50 mill
    on Internet users in 2007.

    Creating a Trade Show Budget
    Setting up a display at a trade show is expensive business. You have to rent the space, create a display, promote it, stock it, and staff it. Before you decide to get involved, take a serious look at the costs of all of these components.Start planning well ahead. You already know this, right? Keep yourself as organized as possible right from the beginning -- even before you book your space. You know how carefully today's brides plan their weddings. Months, even years ahead, they start thinking about the church, the reception, the dresses, the flo

    The Clock is Ticking on Your Leads
    Every day is critical when you are in the business of sales. That lead you receive today could very easily be gone tomorrow.It is very important to act on your lead the very second you get it, not an hour later, or a few days later.The second it is in one hand, the next hand should be dialing the phone.Too often leads and referrals are taken for granted, sales people assume that because someone gave them a lead, that it is exclusive to only them. It is not, at any time one of your competitors can call that person and offer them a better pr

    How to Make Money With Self Storage Auctions
    The first time I happened upon this somewhat unknown way of getting some really nice stuff, and sometimes real 'treasures' was when I stopped in at my local self storage unit to pay my bill, and happened to see an auction sign posted. I asked the lady what that was about and she told me that after a period of time they auction off the unit's contents for non payment of rent. So after finding out the particulars, I decided to check out the next auction that Thursday.The day of the auction I got there just about the time the auction started. They had abou

I then asked her for the website address, and she couldn't remember how to spell that either. I ended up trying to guess a couple different spellings for the website and never did find the company.

    Don't get cute with your website name or for that matter, the name of your business. You may think it's clever to spell fenikz instead of Phoenix, but don't expect anyone to find your website.

    I speak from experience on this topic. When I first started my business I was completely ignorant about choosing a business name. I thought it would be fun to have a business name that was a play on words. So I chose "Howe Write You Are Business Communications." My last name is Howe, and I am a writer. So I chose the domain name howewriteyouare.com.

    When I would tell people my domain name, this is what they heard: howrightyouare.com. They spelled the domain name exactly as they heard it and the only way they would get the correct spelling is by looking at my business card. I soon figured out what a dumb mistake I made and changed my business name after the first year.

    (2) Choose the right extension for your domain name.
