Mom Starts Internet Business

Time to Catch Up...

I know it's been awhile - sorry.

The good news is that business has been going very well. However, I've been frustrated looking back at the past year.

I find myself annoyed and discouraged by the costs of learning how to run a business online. Why? Because what works (at least from my experience) is almost FREE to start.

I have now covered the following:
Selling a physical product
Selling affiliate products
Creating 'Ad Word' sites
Selling a service
Selling my own electronic book.

I've now officially done business in nearly every conceivable venue. While some are doing better than others, I now know exactly what must be done to make each of them profitable.

Can you avoid the cost of learning? I'm not sure. I'll try to tell you more about what I did, but what I really found is that learning is a personal experience. And learning to do business online may not be that different than in the offline world. Most successful professions require an expensive education. You don't need to spend that much, but you will probably need to spend some.

I will update you soon!

  • Shannon, why can't more sites be as good as yours!!! You see I am changing my life at the moment and I have decided to start a work from home in the uk site. I am trying to get inspiration so I can become easier to talk to. You site has given me some ideas. I talk to a wide range of people and I need to relate to everyone I come across so thanks for your posts! The title 'Time to Catch Up...' caught my eye so I thought I'd post on this one. Cheers.

  • Greetings Shannon, you have a pretty cool blog here. I was searching for business opportunity. I just started my home business and you can see it at this link - business opportunity. Your post title caught my eye - Time to Catch Up.... I'm just looking for tips on how to be a better mentor. I know that’s not what you’re going on about in this post but I am trying to expand my vocabulary phrases so I can talk to many different personalities. I mean I have to talk to a lot of people and I need to be able to connect with everyone.

    Anyways Shannon, this helped. Keep it up, I'll be back.
