Fendi, you are actually right with that advice to Kashmira. Actually the site that I refer her to introduce het to Ebay and a number of other business that are dying to have people write articles and adds for them. They actually pay you for your services. and the number is not limited. A matter of fact you choose who you prefer to write adds for. For me I choose based on my interest and sometimes the %payout. This one is really grest so far

Hello friends,

I'm over it... I'm over the some top-secret business idea approach.

I was looking at a few web sites on the weekend, and I saw a number of business ideas that were covered in terms such as… “become a distributor , enriched residual income …….. etc”…

An online business, lots of products, the business is given the task of getting people to sign up to the online business and they get their income from a % of doing just that....

Direct Sales - Lots of people know about direct marketing or MLM (multilevel marketing) its still generally considered the cheapest way to get into business, it can be a great starting point to mixing it with customers and learning about sales, check out some of the myriad available. Don't like any of those, join an easy to learn one and develop an understanding of how it works; duplicate it on your own product range.

Okay that s a start, hey you got any ideas? go on don't be a woos! Hand em out...

With Thanks and Love,

Hi Guys,
I need your help and advise. I am currently turning a somewhat no good site I received into something good. According to the package that I purchased to start my home business they promise a free website. However I am not able to edit the site. I had to do the limited through the control panel.

The help that I now need is to add a link to my blog from my website. Now I already went ahead and add the link in a notation and it worked. However I was getting an error message. stating that site found with errors. Thus due to this error, a number of merchants from an affiliate site denied my application. Please advise the best way to add the link on my site to my blog.

Ques 2. I got admitted from a few of the merchants to include their links on my site. What they gave me are codes for the links. I went ahead and post the codes in my blog thinking that I when I view the blog as a visitor I would see the actual link. Well to my surprise, what greet me was the same code that I paste in edit. Thats not what I want. I would not like customers to see codes as links. They will be able to click on the codes and get access to the site. However its is very unattractive.

Could it be that wordpress will not allow links within a post. Please advise.

Thanks all

Hi Juliet,

I think i had that question answered on our THB Blog. Click Below to go to topic.

None of the resources you mentioned and especially the MLM opportunities have anything to do with running your own business. Most of them are about being part of someone's, or some other company's business. I see a lot of confusion on exactly what actually is running your own business.

Here are some examples of running your own business:

Offering a service where wedding photographers can upload digital images to a website so that remote family members, who were unable to attend the wedding, can view the pictures.

Offering a service where you set up email collection boxes at restaurants, and then sending their client base promotions, certificates, coupons and giveaways.

Having someone develop software or develop it yourself, that you have exclusive right to, that will benefit someone. Make backend sales on upgrades, support and add-ons.

Graphic Designer

Website developer

Writing and selling eBooks based on your expertise, whether it is cooking, welding, auto body repair, etc...

Virtual Assistant -- you find your own clients rather than working for an agency.

Consulting

Copywriting

...and the list is endless.

Of course there is a lot more to learn when running your own business, compared to being a MLM distributor/ recruiter or working for a data entry company. But is is something where an upline doesn't dictate to you how your business has to be run in order to meet their guidelines.

Hi Fendi,
Thanks for that info. I will definitely use that to add a link from my main page to the blog.

However what I really like to know is now to prevent the link provided by linkshare to show up on the visitors page as pure codes. According to linkshare since I am an affiliate, I will need to include the exact code provided such that when A sale is make from my site, they will be able to track it. This code is say around two lines.

See details on how I am adding the copy code.
1. I go to where I can add post to my wordpress page. I started typing info on the subject. now I want to add the link so customers can access it when they visit the blog.
2. I copy the link from linkshare and paste it. I now went to view the actual blog, expecting to see the link not the code. However I saw the exact code.
3. If I should use the info you gave me to add the link to the merchants page. I will not earn from anysales, since linkshare would not be aware of it. I recall seeing linkshare name mention also in the code.

Please advise

Steve, this is a good one...
