If you are thinking about getting started with an online or home based business.  You can easily get overloaded with a ton of responses from all sorts of people in the business.  Most will say that their business is the best or most profitable.  A lot of time that is because they think its the best because it is the field they are in.  This is similar to someone saying the pizza is best from their home town just because its what they know and what they like.

What you need is the basic facts to get started, a place to learn the basics.  When you have those basics, then you can go on and start to sift out the gems from the rocks.  There are a lot of rocks out there.  We have found a site that is a video site and it teaches you how to get started in your home based business.  It gives you the basic dynamics of what to look for and explains some very important facts.

Buy a business on Ebay?

If you think a good idea is to buy a premade or existing business for sale on Ebay, then you really need to look at this site too since they really focus on it.  There is a lot of garbage out there and if you do not know what to look for, you will get separated from your hard earned cash.  The site includes a membership and you can easily get through all the material without having to sign up for another month.  The best part is the checklist that you can take with you (print) and use a valuable reference in whatever site you choose to buy (or create).

You can find all this information plus a bunch of free stuff in their guest section.

This one I highly recommend.

This is probably the $64,000 question that I get asked frequently. So we have made a video to help you answer this question. It really does take research and some creativity to figure out what you would like to venture into. Get a pen and some paper and write down all your ideas after watching this video. The video has some key points in it and will help you to determine in which direction to go next. We will also list some references that you can check to get the job done. Don’t forget, there is a lot of reference material here on this site. It’s not all about manufacturing a product but more about manufacturing yourself as a business. That is whether you sell product, sell a service or sell knowledge. It all starts here.

Another example of using Global Sources. This is an excellent overview that shows how legitimate this company is. We personally have used this website to source one of our Ecommerce sites with great success. It is all about building relationships with overseas manufacturers one at a time, just as you would locally.

Some Key points to remember and note

• This is a trusted source since 1971
• They give the right information in the right format
• Global Sources understands buyers and Suppliers
• There is a ton of information
• And the major value of that information is the content they provide and the ideas that it can spawn.

If you are interested in learning about importing products from china, this is part one of a series of videos that we have pre viewed to help you.

This video is more or less a preview of a 2 1/2 long lecture on using a company that we have featured called Global sources. There are several takeaways from the video even though the speaker is somewhat dry and does not know how to work the crowd.

• Look at the crowd in the room, this shows validity and interest.
• They are gearing it towards “importing 101″ which is what you are looking for
• Although they do not give much information, we will follow it up with material that relates.
• by viewing the video, it may trigger an idea or thought you would not have normally had.

Getting started and getting organized can be a very daunting task. This video overview shows a Microsoft product that we thought worth adding. It really does help small business get some foothold on all the task that you need to do when starting a business. Any software that helps you make a to do list ranks high on my list. This is great for generating ideas.
