Make Your Own Business

No, I'm not talking about signing up and spending all your time promoting someone else's business. I'm talking about finding or creating your own product, selling it yourself or through your own affiliates, and putting the money directly in your own bank account.

Whether you're looking to get out of your current job entirely, add another income that doesn't take a lot of work, or just want to pick up a few extra bucks a month, you CAN do it. It's actually very easy.

If you already have a web site, it's so easy to add to your income from it that you'll wonder why you haven't already done this. (If you have, you'll find some ideas here that will increase your profits even more.)

The best part is, once you've got it set up, it can run automatically, making money for you even while you're asleep.

A lot of people write about this stuff. Most of them are so unclear that you can't understand, much less follow, their instructions. Or they talk about things that are too advanced for most people's experience level. Or they get into areas that have no relation to anything you're really interested in.

When that happens, it all sounds too complicated, so you don't do anything with the ideas.

I've noticed that most people can see just how easy it is once you give them some concrete examples that relate to them personally. That's what this tutorial is all about.

It's pretty simple to do. You answer a few questions below, enter your email address, and click on the button. A few minutes later you get the results in your email box. (Ain't technology wunnerful?)

What you're getting will be a detailed explanation of how you can start your own business, with your own products, on whatever budget you have to work with. Even no budget at all, if necessary. It will include pointers to all the resources you'll need to get started.

The explanation will be tailored to your own interests and experience level, with personalised examples and suggestions based on your answers to the questions.

One of the most important skills for any businessperson, online or off, is networking. To help you with that, you'll receive a free subscription to our newsletter, Network Ink.

You'll also receive a free subscription to TalkBiz News, to help you keep up on ideas and resources you can use to make your business grow faster. (TalkBiz News is published by Paul Myers, the creator of this tutorial.)

There are some questions about your professional and personal interests in the form below. The answers to those are never seen anywhere but in the response you get back. We don't store them, save them, or even see them.

I think you'll be surprised to see just how easy this is.

Note: When answering the questions below, you'll notice that some of them have examples listed. If you use the same format as the examples, the result you get back will make more sense. If the example is "fix cars," but you're in the wrecking business, you would say "demolish buildings, rather than "tearing down buildings."
