Need some advice experts!!!!!!!!! (new idea)

I want to make a internet business, I don’t really know where to start? I haven’t got any support from family or friends so I am a bit scared. Plus I hardly got any funding behind me.

The only thing I need to splash serious money on is probably the advertising, that’s all I think off.

Hi There,

You need to think of an idea, and there from their build on it. If you've already got an idea try and think about what people would buy it, what need does it have, what problems does it solve etc etc. In regards to funding, your best bet is to try and use some money from your wages, investing a little at the start and then building this up to a lot.

As for support from family or friends, for me I've always have a skeptical family especially when it comes to business. Personally I don't think it really matters if you have their backing or not... what is important is that you show your family and friends that your idea works and thus you can get the support you need.

Hope this helps.

If you lack on-line experience with business and have little start up capital and no light bulb idea, I would recommend the following:

Start selling on Ebay - simple to set up, if done properly can make you money to invest in another project, you can practise some basic HTML on you listings and most things will sell there. You can find things to sell and compare prices(completed listings) straight away. Buy from one day sale sites, bootsales, wholesalers ect.

Start a Blog - You can set one up instantly and if people like what you write can make money from ad's affilliates ect, loadsa advice about how to do it on-line. Takes lots of time, effort and perseverance to grow.

If you can source products, there are lots of companies that will host the shop for you, but once again with little capital and experience you'd be better selling straight through Ebay IMO as you wont need to find your customers.

Start visiting digitalpoint forum, full of on-line techies, marketers, content writers, designers ect that will help you and teach you whatever you need to know.

On-line business is a tough game whatever you try will take hours upon hours of research and work to start making money, but I guess what you learn along the way makes it worth it.
