Which business idea should I pick?

Written by admin on July 25, 2010 – 1:41 am -

I would like to start an online company. My goal is to eventually make six or more figures a year. I have two ideas, 1 being a interactive type of site, and 2 being a standard online business. I’m not sure which one is profitable.

1. A website where people can siign up for free and sell, list, buy, trade, and auction off their websites and or domain names. Users would be charged a small fee to post a listing. They could then post info and photos of their site and people can buy the site for a buy now price, or get entered into an auction. I would have account ratings and telephone verification to help with security. There is already a site called flippa.com that does everything I just mentioned. The reason why people don’t like flippa is because the listing fee is to high. If I can lower th fee, and implement a marketing plan, I will have success. Flippa makes 4-5k a day just from advertisiments on their site. There are currently pre made scripts available for this type of site, and they only cost $60. The problem is, it is not a professional site, and I’m worried about bugs with the script. If I wanted to make this site, should I buy the pre made scripts, have an elance person build an okay site for $1000, or hire a web design firm to build a top notch site for 10k? I am a teen, so my startup cash is limited.

Pros- limited competition, huge potential
Cons- huge startup
2. I would start a web hosting company by reselling web hosting plans. I would join a companies reseller program, and create a website and promote hosting plans. The company keeps the wholesale cost, and I keep the markup. So if it’s 40 a year and I mark up to 65 a year, I keep 25 a year for that customer. It is recurring income. If I get a modest 2 people per day, I would have 730 clients by the end of the year. That means for the next year, I am making 18k from the people from the first year, while also gaining new clients. So every year, assuming that the client still is hosting with us, I am getting an additional 18k. So I’m making tons of money for years to come. I have heard of host gator and resellers panel which I think has good reseller plans. Resellerspanel has great profits and you get unlimited domains, a website to promote your company, 24/7/365 support, and marketing tools. Resellerspanel does not use cpanel though. They have their own site builder and control panel system which is a problem for clients who want or need cpanel. Host gator costs more than resellers panel, does not host as much space, but does come with cpanel. Would you recommend I use resellers panel, or any other hosting company.

Pros- super low startup costs, just need to promote, work any hours
Cons- a lot of competition, but hey, if you attract people to your site first and they like your plans, you get their sale.

Which idea is more profitable. Do you think any could make me six or more figures a year? Thanks.

You should make free hosts to get traffic 1st then main host to cost money.

But If you look at the music video it shows an innocent little kid who got too much power and turned out to be an evil dictator type person. So having to much power and control is bad. or it’s about chosing the right path in life.

i think this song could be interpreted in a few different ways.

one way is that it’s sending out a wake up call, to notice what’s going on around us, and to remind us that WE are the ones who have the real power. the power is in the people. to be able to see that the system is corrupt and we can beat it through positive things. we can pick a noble cause or we can be crooked. it’s telling us that we can do anything. very inspirational.

another way i can see it being interpreted is that humanity is devolving. it starts out childlike, simple amusements e.g. riding a bike with no handle bars, seeing a platypus, etc. it gets progressively more corrupt with the more power that is gained, till the phrase "no handle bars" becomes a metaphor for recklessness.

Small Business question?

Auto Dialer question for leaving daily messages via phone call?
I need help in finding an auto dialer system so that I can leave a friendly appointment reminder on their telephone automatically or even a friendly message. Does anyone know a basic small system that is inexpensive. Can you buy this at an office supply store or an electronic store? Do you know if it can be hooked up on a home phone? Just like the call I received to let me know my doctors appointment was this week. It was an automated call and very nice. Thanks for your reply. I need this help and can not afford a secretary

don’t worry. This site is 200% legitimate and free to join. You can make easily 200$ a day. The work is on each and every field.

can you help me improve our office telephone system.?

Written by admin on March 25, 2010 – 10:27 am -

Hi, my boss asked me to to figure out a way to cut down drastically on our telephone expenses. Although I don’t handle telephone systems per say, I’m a computer IT guy and figure I can handle this.
We currently have a 30 year old dinosaur phone system supported by Avaia and it’s routing four phone lines from ATT..then a fifth dedicated fax line which goes to a computer with fax software. Total 5 telephones, it’s a small office.
My goal is to cut down the telephone lines to 2 or 3 as business is very slow (we only advertise one number too). I’m hoping to get rid of the whole telephone system (which looks like a big switchboard and currently takes up a large closet) and get rid of the avaya bill too..phones can be bought on ebay for cheap when they break…we’re only paying for Avaya to keep the dinosaur alive, and they don’t want to do it. Basically the only features we need in office are the ability to put calls on hold and the boss likes his speed dialing…intercom would be nice.
Any suggestions..what would you do? Links to telephone routers or voip or something would help. Thanks.

Here’s a link to some good VoIP equipment that might be able to do the trick:

Thanks.

I loved the song even more when I saw the actual written lyrics. I don’t know the correct message of the song, but for some reason, I assume that the whole idea is how humans in general have that ambition to try and one up everyone and strive to have the satisfaction of being in power.

I mean, the song starts off with the guy bragging about being able to perform the simple task of riding a bike without handlebars,writing comic books, and knowing the words to songs. Then he moves on to stating his ability in a business aspect. By the end of the song, the subject brags how he can have the power over social/political global problems.

For some reason, I want to go with the song being a social and political message. I’m sure someone can give a better explanation than me, haha.

If the illegal aliens weren’t breaking the law by being here in the first place, would there be a need for CIR?

Written by admin on March 5, 2010 – 12:32 pm -

If the illegal aliens weren’t breaking the law by being here in the first place, would there be a need for comprehensive immigration reform?

††††††††

Our Time to Fight for Immigration Reform is Now

Democrats have become the party of "I can’t," while Republicans have become the party of "I won’t." But the overwhelming majority of Americans (conservatives, independents and everyone else) is saying, "Get to work on our nation’s problems and fix the broken immigration system!"

While the pundits, naysayers, and quitters in Washington are telling everyone that nothing can get done, the Campaign Reform Immigration FOR America is enlisting the American people in a massive effort to force the hand of the House, Senate, and President to finally fix our broken immigration system.

You can feel the rumbling in the pews, at the town halls, and at overflow auditoriums across the country.

In January the campaign organized more than 150 events across 40 states, that could barely accommodate the overflow crowds of Americans who wanted to voice their support for immigration reform.

* In Denver, CO an overflow crowd of thousands cheered Senator Michael Bennett’s pledge to champion comprehensive immigration reform in the U.S. Senate.

* In Grand Rapids, MIhundreds gathered with community faith leaders to call on their elected leaders to get a comprehensive immigration bill done this year.

* In Charlotte, NC overflow crowds gathered at a meeting of African American and Latino community leaders to show overwhelming support for reform.

* 1,000 gathered on a cold night in Little Rock , AR to urge Senators Lincoln (D-AR) and Pryor (D-AR) to support immigration reform.

* And in Ohio, a series of events all over the state culminated in a rally of thousands in Cincinnati - that included leadership from the African American, labor and business communities

.

* All this followed not long after more than 60,000 Americans mobilized for a single telephone call in October of 2009 with supportive leaders of reform in the U.S. Congress.

In the last month, communities of faith have exhibited a courage and clarity that we wish our elected leaders would show. Religious leaders from across the theological and ideological spectrum and Members of Congress kicked off a nationwide mobilization called "Together, Not Torn: Families Can’t Wait for Immigration Reform," that included the delivery of more than hundreds of thousands postcards to Members of Congress from people of faith in their states and districts.

Over the course of the President’s Day recess, local leaders from churches, small businesses, labor locals, and community organizations across the country descended on district offices. Americans in Ohio, Alaska, Arkansas, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and other states met with their Members of Congress to ask for comprehensive immigration reform to move forward in 2010. Some district offices, in fact, received a visit every hour, on the hour, for four days straight!

This is beyond a campaign.

This is America at its very core saying loud and clear we need a functioning immigration system that stops unscrupulous employers from exploiting American and immigrant workers, but encourages honest employers looking to play by the rules.

Since June 1, 2009, the campaign has organized over 700,000 calls and faxes into the White House and Congress calling for reform. This is a significant a number of Americans but the decibel is nothing compared to that of an entire news channels (and multiple talk radio shows) that are primed and ready to scare Congress from endorsing an immigration solution that serves our nation.

So, while our campaign is made up of over 750 faith, labor, business, progressive, African American, civil rights and immigrant organizations working to reform our immigration system in the interests of America’s families, we need your help.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ali-noorani/our-time-to-fight-for-imm_b_476801.html

Its true we all want immigration reform now!!!!

We want all illegals deported today and the 14th amendment changed so that the anchor babies cannot stay.

thankfully groups are being deported.

We cant say it too loud or they might break a few store windows.

help with case study?

Written by admin on February 19, 2010 – 4:22 am -

S Ltd manufacturers and sells lifting equipment. B Ltd operates a heavy goods vehicle servicing and repair business. On 1 July 2008 B Ltd requested a copy of S Ltd’s brochure and this was sent by post and received by B Ltd on 3 July 2008. Tom was the managing director for B Ltd. He read the brochure and selected a “Hercules” hydraulic jack system for lifting heavy goods vehicles and was priced in the brochure at £28,000. He completed the order form contained in the brochure and entered the company’s credit card details. He then, signed, dated and sent the form to S Ltd together with a covering letter that stated “Please note that all orders are submitted subject to B Ltd’s terms and conditions, a copy of which is enclosed.”

S Ltd sent a letter to B Ltd thanking them for their order and specifying that the ‘Hercules’ would be manufactured and delivered to B Ltd on 31 August 2008 at the listed price of £28,000.

The ‘Hercules’ hydraulic jack was delivered to B Ltd on 30 August 2008, together with an invoice for £30,000 which was stated to be payable in full in 30 days.

On receiving the invoice Tom telephoned and queried the price, stating that he had agreed a price of £28,000. He was told that S Ltd’s costs had increased and the company use a clause in the company’s terms stating that:

“S Ltd reserves the right to increase the price of goods supplied by a maximum of 10%.”

Max pointed out that the clause was included in the terms and conditions on the website.

Tom hung up and checked S Ltd’s terms on its website and found that one clause did indeed contain the above wording. Tom was aware that B Ltd’s terms and conditions contained the following clause:

“The contract price shall be that specified at the time of purchase. B Ltd will not accept any variation in the price after submission of an order.”

After the machine was delivered to B Ltd it failed because a small pressure screw had not been correctly tightened during manufacture. B Ltd’s technician tightened the screw and the ‘Hercules’ is now in perfect working order. However B Ltd’s vehicle being worked on at the time sustained damage amounting to £3000.

B Ltd’s terms and conditions state:

“The seller is responsible for all damages that follow from defective products that they have supplied under contract to the buyer.”

“S Ltd hereby excludes liability for damage caused by defective machinery or products supplied by S Ltd.”
