G’day sweety n,

Wow, you’re business sounds great, but good advice is well worth paying for!

Our company has hired in the past and present; one full time business consultant, one business planner, one accountant, one google/internet search optimiser, a conveyance firm and get generally free advise from businesses, that has help set-up our company and have plans to hire another accountant and maybe a financial planner.

Why?

Expert advice is normally worthwhile, especially if you’re paying for it. Unless you have friends that are in a business, you need to pay some good advisory firm (depending on the type of advice you need to help you out.

Since, marketing is not one of our company’s key strengths; my free advice is based on why we hired those businesses to help our company along:

Business Planner – To see through a second set of professional eyes our plans, formatted in a logical sequence to be presentable for banks and our investors
Business Consultant – To get a second professional opinion and to get advice on marketing also for regular company health checks
Accountant – To double check our book keeping, to also get advice on the up-dates in running a company, share/dividend management and corporate issues
Google/internet search optimiser – To get our new launched product climbing the search directory scale.
Financial Planner – Financial health checks and to ensure our goals can be achieved financial and with minimal risks to the company, our investors and our employees.

Free advice:

As for promoting your business, as one of the consultants has informed us, "if you consider starting a business you need two times set-up cost to advertise the business".

Partner with a business; Lets say you partner with a local garage. E.g. every time their customers get a car service there, they are eligible for discount at your business and vice-versa.

Run a competition: e.g. a colouring competition for kids and the winners receives a coupon at the local lolly store. The flyer could be an outline of one of your products.

Local Schools: Ask a local school for permission to give a speech on the importance of alarm system, demonstrate some and then give out some information packs for them to take home to their parents or guardians and/or some colouring sheets (without prizes).

Sponsor a charity or sports club: Rig up their hall or sporting facility with some of your product in exchange for advertising space on a prominent place in their area, e.g. the front gate of the sporting grounds. Again ask to fit in a demonstration of your product somehow.

Approach a radio or other media firm to install your products, in exchange for advertising space!

All, I can suggest is really push to get your product out there! Unless your product is unique or your part of a big franchise, you’ll may have a bit of a struggle to get your business there!

Word of mouth is the best form, as you get more and more customers, ensure you work on that aspect of your business, it could go a very long way!

Have fun!

Can an internet dvd player have spyware installed after market?

I purchased an open box dvd bluray with wifi from ebay. I noticed that after winning the item most other dvd players with wifi were open box too from the same vendor. Iwas wondering if passwords used on the system ie netflix etc could be compromised?

Not likely. The reason they are open box is because the seller probably bought them at an auction because most stores don’t sell open box items.

I have a website and I want to start selling items.How can I build a better website with online store? ?

anyone out there have experience with Deisel Energy Secrets?

This is a company on the internet that markets an alternative fuel system for deisel engines for using veatable oil. I am interested in feedback from those who have used this system.

1. It’s not a secret. Anything that can be done with car engines, is wildly known.
2. If it was truly beneficial, they would make it wide known, rather than selling the info.
3. Stuff like this has been around for ages, and it’s always a scam.

who is the best software provider for efiling excise tax online(Form 2290,720,8849). I have the list by IRS?

I have got the list provided by IRS. I am looking for information on the market share/popularity of the vendors?

Turbo Tax is by far the best. I have used it for over thirty years going back to the DOS versions prior to Windows.

I do know a good deal about marketing. Network marketing in particular has its own special set of issues.

You are very much on the right track by realizing that trying to recruit your friends and family is a bad idea… A really bad idea!

I want you to acquaint yourself with internet attraction marketing.

I’m dropping a link to my site below. You will find the link there to Ann Sieg’s "The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing" . It’s a free ebook that you really should read. If you don’t want to fill out the form please just drop me an email and I’ll attach you a copy by email without the form.

Give it a read and, if you would, let me know what you think about it.

Good Luck with your new business and feel free to contact me if I can help you.

How can I market my investment advice on the internet?

I have created an intermediate term trading system that is consistently bringing in profits. It is very simple and only relies on a few trading indicators. It’s a slam dunk.

Hey Mortgage Guy,
There are many ways you can market your advice on the internet. If you have a budget to work with, you can pay for search engine placement, use email marketing, or place banner ads on related websites. If you do not have a budget to work with, here are some options:
1. Set up a Blog – some websites will let you do this for free. In the blog you can give out advice and link to your website.
2. Email marketing – many companies will give you a free trial to test out a campaign, but you would have to pay a monthly fee based on the subscribers you have. These start at $15.95/month.
3. Establish yourself as an expert by joining a forum related to your topic. If allowed, be sure to link back to your website or blog.
4. Send out a news release to online publications with interesting information that their website visitors could use.
5. Start your own Podcast. I am just learning about this myself, but from what I’ve researched so far it maybe effective for what you are doing and it does not cost anything to get one started.

These are just a few things you can do to market advice on the internet. I hope this helps.
