Well, I am just getting started and thought it might be interesting to log my progress. I have been playing around with the idea of a home/internet small business for a few years now. Playing around...but want to get more serious.
I have looking online for too long for business ideas. I have tried a business or two. Basically the most successful idea has been on eBay. Selling household items on eBay has financed holiday spending, paying bills, and everyday spending. I appreciate having money in my Paypal.com account for a cappuccino at Starbucks.
But now it is time to get serious. I have only been imagining, or daydreaming, about a business. And I have tried a couple of businesses--a network marketing and Google Ad Words based affiliate business. Needless to say, I did not make any money. But I didn't loose much either.
Getting serious means filling official State and Federal paperwork, getting a tax ID number and maybe forming an LLC for my business.
I have found some good resources at the Small Business Administration. Because I am a veteran I can contact their Veteran Affairs person and plan to do business as a Veteran Owned Business.
Well, I have my work cut out for me. But I think it will be fun.
