Facts regarding online business revealed

By Alexandra Appelt

 We found this great article on a site called LinkMommy dot com:

As millions of others, we too started to get involved in home based online businesses many moons ago. Overwhelmingly successful, terribly disappointed, we met honest creators and owners of programs and networks, and we also met lots of scam artists and fraudulent owners of programs and networks, we have seen it all.

In this article, we try to help people to avoid the most common mistakes people make when they are getting started in home based online businesses, and we also like to help you to eliminate these mistakes from the very beginning.

Understanding complexity of todays home based business is essential as you too will run into the following major topics. Be prepared that you will be lied to:

The big traffic lie

The headline any home based online business owner runs into sooner or later. Considering that more than 1 billion websites are active these days, the question How to get traffic to my website? is imminent.

Countless websites refer to headlines such as Free website traffic, Millions of hits, 500000 guaranteed visitors, and other promises might catch your attention. Manual surfing, automated surfing, traffic exchanges, banner exchanges, ezine lists, safelists, viral traffic generation are probably the most common headlines to suck you in for more traffic to your website.

First, when you read the word FREE be alerted, it is complete nonsense 99% of the time. The word free is used to get you signed up. Most programs offer you certain services and tools, but quite frankly, free stands for zero, and zero times zero will be always zero. Usually, they offer you an upgraded paid version, and/or the opportunity to increase traffic to your site by referring other to that particular program.

We tested hundreds of these traffic services over the past year. Both, free and unpaid versions. Our test results are very sobering.

While you might experience some increase in traffic to your website, in 99% of the cases you will generate nothing but low or no quality traffic. The worst are probably the autosurf and manual surf pages. Reason why? You are part of a community of people who all do the same. Nobody is interested in your offer or website. They only surf you because they want you to surf them. Same thing when you look closer into so called guaranteed visitors, traffic exchanges, safelists, and so on. On top of all that negativity, there is a factor that is even more devastating:

You may be sure that you ruin your online reputation. Taking part in the big traffic lie, your website only generates low or no quality traffic, duration of visits to your website become very short, and all that hurts your rankings within search engines tremendously.

However, there are several ways to avoid the big traffic lie, actually, you even can benefit and profit from it using certain strategies:

-Sadly, we found only 1% of the programs mentioned above to be honest. Find and get to know the operators of any of the programs before you join.

-Make sure that you know someone who knows that the program is legitimate.

Solution:

Even the worst program can be beneficial to you when you are given the opportunity to interact with other members. We will show you how upon request.

The big social media lie

The importance of the social media phenomena cant be denied. Not too long ago, a high ranked Google social media manager said that if social media would be looked at as a baseball game, we are just at the top of the second inning. Long ways to go until the bottom of the ninth inning is reached.

One only can agree with her statement, especially as facebook went over 300 million users lately, not to mention popularity of twitter, tagged, youtube, myspace, all the 1000s of ning networks, and so many others evolving on the social media skies every single day.

We must say that the 250 thousand new members, registrants, and contacts we accomplished since we launched in September of 2009, came from social media.

While huge success can be accomplished by using opportunities within social media, there are mistakes that can be easily avoided:

-There are program owners out there claiming that you can make fortunes on Twitter, facebook, and others by using their programs or software.

-Be very cautious when these program owners charge fees for programs that are based on principles of multi-level-marketing.

Solution

-Join as many of the large social media networks as you can.

-Join as many of other social media networks as you can. Make sure that they are related to the program or product you offer.

We own legal social media software multiple registration codes and licenses that are updated at all times. Joining our main program and platform, and you dont have to pay for any of the countless programs promising thousands of followers, connections, etc.

The Get-rich-quick-scheme lie

There must be tens of thousands of networks, products, and products out there claiming that they are the next big deal. Making you filthy rich, making you millions of dollars while investing only small amounts of money.

Now, how in the world can make you an investment of 1 single dollar millions of dollars within weeks? Certainly, they dont tell you that only hitting the jackpot in the lottery can make you millions for a dollar.

However, there are programs out there worth while to give it a closer look. As we recommended earlier, find and get to know the operators of any of the programs before you join. Make sure that you know someone who knows that the program is legitimate.

Solution

Do not join programs when you have doubts, or when your additional questions dont get answered by admin or webmaster, or when you dont know who is behind these programs. Use extra caution when programs involve cash gifting and so called matrixes. In many cases, these are completely illegal.

CONCLUSION

Todays online marketing and owning home based businesses can be truly rewarding and also very profitable. Avoiding mistakes can be challenging, but following certain rules will save you thousands of dollars. Dont get me wrong, there are honest program owners out there. While it is difficult to find them, important is the understanding of basics. Getting your hands on valuable information on the following topics is not free, but in the same respect it is affordable and less expensive than renting office space, leasing a store front, purchasing merchandise, or other cost you have when starting a traditional offline business.

Traffic Advertising Articles/Blogging Affiliations

When you are interested in one or all of the most important topics of successful home based businesses, please contact me directly through our website. Remember, when it says free, free stands for zero, and zero times zero will be always zero.

Starting a Business in Australia as a Sole Trader

By Mark Bailey

 Youve got the skills and expertise and now youre raring to start a business in Australia. Youre keen on choosing the right business structure for your exciting new venture. You realise that your business has to have a legal structure that conforms to the Australian business scenario. So if youre a skilled electrician, a competent hair stylist or an expert event organiser looking to begin your enterprise successfully, you might want to consider doing business as a sole trader.

Why Do Business as a Sole Trader?

The best way to answer that question is to consider how many of you are going into business together. Chances are, its just you. And your access to funding probably consists of personal loans and family borrowings. Which means you arent likely to have a lot of start up capital to begin with and youre looking to borrow your funds. So that might rule out more expensive modes of starting your business, for example as a company.

Youre also the only one in control of just about everything in your business, including the income and expenses. Youre responsible for all the debts of your enterprise and also all the taxes. In which case, you might want to ponder on the benefits of being a sole trader.

Benefits of Being a Sole Trader

You cant find a simpler business structure than a sole trader in Australia. Youre offering your services as a sole proprietor, meaning that youre doing business as an individual. In fact, you are the business! What youll also be doing is getting off ground for far less in terms of cost compared to other, more complex business structures.

As a sole trader, youre not a company registered in accordance with the Australian Corporations Act 1981. Youre not subject to the corporate tax rate. Instead, your business income is taxed as part of your personal income. You dont have to get your accounts audited every year, either. There arent any shareholders in your company so your business transactions are more private when compared to a proprietary or limited liability company. Youre not subject to the lengthy and detailed reporting requirements that companies have to abide by.

Whats more, you can hire sub-contractors to do your admin or delivery work. You can outsource any part of your business, like the ordering or invoicing or accounting, so youre free to concentrate on bringing in more custom.

Drawbacks of Being a Sole Trader

There are drawbacks, however, to being a sole trader. Youre solely accountable for the debts and the taxes of your business. If you fail to service the repayments on your business loans, youll find the banks breathing hard down your neck. And if you havent lodged your BAS and paid your GST on time, youll be getting pertinent reminders from the relevant authorities. Youre personally liable for anything that goes wrong with regard to the services you offer or the goods you sell. You can be charged in a court of law for any negligence in relation to your business and your liability to a claim for damages is unlimited.

Your business name is not a legal entity so when you sign a contract with your clients, suppliers or any third party, youre the one responsible for fulfilling all the conditions and clauses in the agreement. Should you fail to adhere to any terms or conditions, you could be in for a rough ride financially. Theres nothing to stop your creditors from claiming your personal funds, your assets or even your house to settle outstanding sums owed to them. You can mitigate your possible losses, however, by getting the right insurance cover.

Sorting Out Your Business Plan

Developing your business plan as a sole trader isnt as complicated as it sounds. You just need to be clear about why youre going into business, what your projected income will be for the next three or so years and what your possible expenses may be. Then youll arrive at a projected profit for your business. Youll have an idea of how profitable your new venture will be and the sort of expenses youre going to incur. A business plan is vital if youre aiming to approach financial institutions for a loan as start up capital.

How to Register Your Business Name?

Just about the easiest name to have for your business is your own. Alternatively, you might want a name like Frances Flowers if youre opening a little flower shop at the local mall. Either way, you have to register your business trading name with the relevant authorities.

First, check if your business name is already registered. If it isnt, then get it registered with the Consumer Affairs Department or CAD in your state. You can only trade in the state where your business is registered unless you register in other states where youre planning to trade. You must register your business name before commencing your operations

Your next step is to get an ABN or Australian Business Number. One thing to remember is that if you do business in your own name, you dont have to register with the CAD. You just need the ABN. Thats the 11 digit number that you see on sales invoices. Its exclusive to your business. You must also have a Tax File Number or TFN, which is critical for you to pay your business taxes. If youre already a taxpayer, then youll use your TFN for your business as well. The Australian Taxation Office or ATO handles all applications for the ABN and TFN.

Then you have to register for GST or Goods and Services Tax so you can charge your customers 10% GST on sales invoices. Youll have to account to the ATO quarterly for any GST youve paid to suppliers and received from your customers.

Getting the Right Asistance

Obtaining the right assistance is critical to avoid all the complications of setting up your business. Starting a Business Now gives comprehensive business start up packages, advice and guidance to anyone who is keen on starting business as a sole trader. From registering your business name and ABN to sorting out your GST, youll get everything you need under one roof from qualified experts well versed in every aspect of starting a business in Australia!
