You want to start your own business, but you have not yet found a business idea that seems profitable. Before going further, I suggest you read this article published last month: finding a business idea. Then here’s a method to find a business idea, or to validate the viability of an idea that you have already: watch what is being done and that works also.
Make a list of all shops and businesses located in your town. Often, a list (more or less updated) is available on the website of the town hall or on third party sites. If not, contact the town hall to see if they have a list of this type.
Then look in the area of cities of similar size and have the same list for each city.
Comparing the various lists of activities thus obtained, you can identify ideas for starting a business. For example, you may notice that all these cities have a driving school but one.

Despite some predictions to the contrary, many experts believe that the increased tendency on the use of social networking is not a real threat to the email continues to occupy third place among the activities in relation to time spent by users online. However, it is noteworthy that the difference between the two activities is increasing day by day.
This trend is accentuated undoubtedly due in large part to the significant growth of business interest by the media and social networks as strategic channels to develop and implement their communications and marketing. Read the rest of this entry »

Businesses to invest 1. Services for older people
According to INEGI, in the next 10 years in some cities in Mexico will arrive at 15 to 20% of older population. This is a phenomenon that is already happening in Europe, where the average age of its population is 50 years.

The food industry is seeing a good time, in connection with the sale of products for children. From simple products like cereals, even profitable businesses such as McDonalds franchises.

Last week I published an article about the obstacles that you encounter when you start your own business. In one of the comments someone suggested I add to the list perfectionism. So in this article I want to talk specifically about the problems that arise because of perfectionism.
The problem with looking for perfection when you are still incubating your business is that it is extremely difficult to have a perfect business before starting to deliver real value to your customers. This is because it will help you improve your customer interaction business is real.
For example, if your business use a website to make some kind of sale, you might be tempted to launch the business until you have a website ready to make automatic charges to credit cards and will automatically generate production orders. And then these orders are fulfilled by several people responsible for packing and shipping the product. All this while your customer database is automatically updated to view reports.
Although this is an ideal scenario, you might start making some processes manually to test your business model as soon as possible. Here are some benefits you get to test your business as soon as possible: Read the rest of this entry »
In the article How To Do Business On the Internet I forgot, as I did see Stefan Loren , the simplest model for monetizing a website which ironically is the one I’ve used so far on my site: advertising.
In the past, when I talked about Infolinks , a provider of ads to Web sites, I wrote about the model under which advertising works. As I wrote once, I will quote myself :
The inclusion of advertising supplements Infolinks-win-win model under which staff work Economy. This refers to benefit first, because readers of the site content is free and hopefully benefit them. Second, advertisers benefit because their message can reach an audience that may be interested in what they offer. And thirdly, I benefit by receiving a commission to attract an audience to advertisers. I think it is worth mentioning that I also benefit from the very fact of writing articles and interact with readers.
That remains the model under which it operates and applies not only to Infolinks , as discussed below. Read the rest of this entry »

By the way, this article came about because a reader recently told me he wanted to start doing business on the internet and asked me what were the options I had. The answer, I decided I would share the information I gave on the site for everyone’s benefit. Thanks Carlos!
Here we go …
The first thing I explain is that as the world real , worldwide virtual business can be separated clearly as you sell: a product or a service. First explore the options you have to sell products online.
Products
Physical Products – The most obvious option is to sell products through an online store. It can be your own tent or platforms like DeRemate.com, eBay.com, etc. You can get the products to wholesalers, selling your own products (inventions, arts and crafts.)

More than once we get scolded when you receive a mail with unwanted advertisements unsolicited, more than once have been afraid that some impostor send us a virus through an e unknown to us and for our machine.
What you’re thinking companies in quantity and amount sent spam advertising to spam, emails that ask for information?
Today, hardly a person will have an e-mail that enters our spam, but why? I just do not ask and do not know, and perhaps even advertising are just what we like, but even so, suspicious, and we delete it. This results in a disappointment and a lost time our company that handles its “commercial activity” erroneously.
The ” e-mailmarketing is a tool that not only strengthens the confidence of the client / vendor, but also reduces costs and time.
The email marketing is a reliable marketing process, as is always done in a database that have requested or agreed to receiving advertising on their own, and is an economic process from any perspective to study it, shorten time ( Through Internet ) and miscellaneous costs, we do not need post cards, or people who take it, or print presentations or brochures.
If the e-mail marketing know how to use the fruits that will be far more enriching than if we apply the traditional marketing . That if, without falling into the trap of a database is not recognized, because that would be the anti-marketing . The only economic cost that we have, to make our service / product the best, is to order our segmentation task to a company dedicated to Market Research, as they will be in charge of giving a clean.
Today, this market model is highly recommended, was going through a totally cyber and not learn to “sell” on it, is not to learn to live with it.
Since a few years ago, until now, the blogs were the boom, all pseudo-entrepreneur had a network of blogs, “but are still profitable?
Many of these networks, blogs, focused their income in a single business method, place adsense ads and earn revenue per click.
Today, the value of clicks on Adsense, has fallen even in some cases above 50%, which is generating significant revenue declines in these networks, which are threatened by a business method that is paying off.
So what happened? Well, many networks have evolved and have their own advertising systems, arranged by direct advertisers, they do not depend heavily on systems like AdSense and earnings are affected but will survive the crisis. The problem is for the vast majority of networks that have no direct advertisers and is month to month like many decide to sell their posts or shut down, turn off the light and go.
