Helpful Hints For Getting An Online Business Started
Christine Evans
** Set specific goals, we all are in this to make
money. How much money do you want to make by a
certain date ... for example
** Set a reasonable time frame to accomplish your goal.
** Getting organized
I use 3x5" index cards and an alpha filing system
to know where I have been and notes such as:
*Name of Business Opportunity, Tool, etc.
*My ID number and Password for site if applicable
*URL of my new affiliate website or the website
I want to check out later
*If it is a trial membership when it ends
*Any fees associated
*If it is a Business Opportunity I write on the
back of the card any tools or special features.
Initially I was putting everything in Favorites or
Book marking it then when I went to organize I
forgot what was so special about the 15 sites there.

I was on the phone with one of my down line members
and Gordon said 'wait a minute I'll find it' when
I popped in with the answer. He asked how I found
it so fast to which I replied 'my little index cards'.
You see Gordon had his own system he had been using
for some time. Don't know if he has changed to index
cards or not. (I kinda think he has).
** I purchased extra paper and an extra black ink
cartridge for my printer. You will need to print
out pages with information for future reference
if you sign up for anything - even if it is fr.ee.
To Print only in black ... go to "Start" - "Settings"
"Printer" then to the "Properties" "Advanced" area
of your printer and have it print in "Grayscale"
(no color only black ink is used). This will
save you money. I also print in "draft" quality.
** I save those pages that are the last page printed
and have little or nothing on them so I can
scribble on them. You will find that when you
are reading some information an email address
or url reference is made to something you want
to check out later, well "scribble it down" or
use an index card.
** "Don't start trying to read how to succeed just
start succeeding". Remember not to get the cart
before the horse ... If you expect to make a living
with your computer make sure that you know all about
your computer.
** Get an email address used strickly for bsiness
Set up a folder for your business(es), one
for Ads/Leads - Training - Newsletters. You will
want to keep some of the info you sign up for
future references or to use right now. If you like
an article in an Ezine or email save it and use it
as a foundation for your own Ezine or emails.
Things To Understand If You're A Newbie

** This is a numbers game! When you advertise on a
fr.ee site with thousands of other, stats say
that 2-3% will will click your business
opportunity url. Lots Of Ads.
** Other interesting Stats:
* Working part time 10-20 hours per week
* For 3 - 5 years
* Before you might reach financial independence

** YOU NEED A WEB SITE! Now wait a minute - that
does not mean you need to build your own website
right away. (It is best to have your own but not
necessary to get started). Lots of Business
Opportunities and Affiliate Programs have "self
replicating web sites" that you get with the
program. Find One you Like and Get Movin'.

You do need to start someplace. So Go Place An Ad
