Always looking at new markets an ideas and when you look at international markets, there is a lot around like http://ping.fm/pixuC - thers nothing like this in New Zealand

Thoughts for today: Do parents think what they say? I asked to today, at 8am "did you make your millions overnight?" - Maybe I am soft but I didnt find it very helpful......

Choices: to many choices, I can see ways and proven ways that make money. it has to be with the understanding, to allow the time for it to make money. You need a business mindset, not an employee mindset.

Why some websites dont sell

Most of the time- the reason is not that the product isnt good, its mroe that the reason to buy is not big enough- not enough urgency on offer made.

Retail is really good at this - online...you see it every weekend with specific sales that only available till the end of the week end

Relationship marketing

There are 2 ways to get customers online:

1. big a reconised big brand (or brand name)
2. Build a relationship

I see websites that try to "hid" the peoson behind it, regardless of size people do business with people.....period wheater its online or off

Ideas and more

Had serveral ideas this week- the main one:

1.Find the business model first AKA - how will you make your money
2. Check size of market
3. What will be fre in the front end?

Was watching an interview with a 300 K (a month) advertising model- real simple:

1. dating niche site
2. Make it 100% free
3. Use Google adsense program

Power of focus

Working on a new project, i relized that I was over complicating what wanted to do. the project was based on another software product, I watched someone else sell. Now my concept is to duplicare exactly what they did -simple when you think about it...........

Business Models

It looking to maybe go into business, look for something when there is repeat billing AND you have some sort of power over the customer. I mean that in a good way- best example is web design and hosting, great model- payment for design up front, recurring monthly for hosting and if any problem with payment, you have the power to take the website offline........

Payment Circles

I am not sure whats like for other businesses but its seems like I am always in a payment circle, hoping to get paid before to many people want to get paid from me! I am glad i dont have to much in the way of regular staff (some virtual)

Makes for hard word if someone is slow to pay.......
