I know a lot of you who come here are looking for ideas to starting your own business. That’s fine and grand. I understand why and am doing the same. But…… There is one HUGE difference in the way I Read more…
If we are talking about the best business to start why would I go into a Yoda like phrase of “Start Within”.
Well, there are a couple of reasons why but let's focus our force… Okay… I'll cut the Yoda talk.
Regardless of the business most successful ones are run by highly motivated people who have succeeded in their past life

experiences. Be it from real estate to stock trader the person driving the ship, the captain, normally has some special skills they have developed over time that allows them to be successful.
Of course you will have the ones that have no skill set except have a ton of money but that in itself has it's own particular traits. Being an investor takes a lot skills that most people don't have like for one… Balls.
If your new to working for yourself and you have always had someone “boss you around” and your looking for an outlet I would highly recommend before you start looking for that best business to start to go ahead and start to invest in yourself.
You need to figure out what makes you tick. Having passion for a business goes a long way. Sure it's not necessary but most businesses fail because of the lack of cash flow but if you have a passion for your industry you will stick in for the long run.
The only other way around build a business where you don't have a passion for it is if it's sustainable. So that it can grow and eventually take on a life of it's own while being for the most part cash positive. (more…)
So what would you think today is a good business to start in this type of economy?
Let's look at some other business models then dive into what I do online and offline.
Everybody has to eat right? So a food chain with a proven system should be a good bet, right?
I'm not saying this is a BAD business model but given what I'm about to show you by all means form your own opinions.

As of this writing you might have not known that my 2 little kiddos are 4 and 6 and both love to mess around in all kinds of Little Tikes Playhouse sets. I have no clue what the fascination is but my kids play with the all of the time like it's drawing them with some unknown magnetic effect.
ownThis was one of the sets that my kids play with all of the time at the local toy store near us at Toys R Us. They just loved the different aspects of the playhouse. I think most display units are chosen because of setup or ease of sale. This Little Tikes Playhouse set sells like gangbusters due to the price point and general size of the unit.
I normally or lets say almost 90% of the time try and go out with the family when doing errands. I would say 100% of the time we have gone into Toys R Us and they have a display of this little tikes playhouse it's a sure thing they go and play in it. I remember countless times my kiddos would just play in that ONE set while my wife went to get baby stuff or look for some deals for gifts. I think most times they would even play the entire time so I would just hover in that area taking my phone calls for my internet marketing business while the kids are playing around.
If your wondering, the picture to the right is not of my 2 kids or my wife 😉
What is even more telling is that if there are other kids in the area they are all drawn to this little tikes playhouse. It's like how kids want to play on a jungle gym set when they see one. This is the shiny toy they are pulled to play with. It's fun and I don't have to worry about them hurting themselves with this one too.

So the past couple days I’ve been looking at what the Google Panda update has been doing to 25% of my sites and it just doesn’t make me happy and why I have altered my article marketing strategy to fight Read more…
Here are some article marketing tips I found after reading some test studies from people who use UAW.
Before I dive into the testing of another user I wanted to touch on the Google Panda issue. For most the Google Panda was supposed to target content farms and essentially bring down no value adsense sites. Now no value is subjective but in the end duplicate sites and auto-blogs were supposed to be de-ranked and allow valuable sites to make it to the top.
The Event happened April 2011 and 25% of my sites got gobbled up by the panda.
I guess you can say it's alive and kicking as I can prove it ate one of my sites up. For marketers like myself when we see this:
It’s sad but true that you need to learn how to generate website traffic regardless of your past success. The above is one of my sites that bit the big on. Google Panda decided to destroy my site. I’m looking Read more…
