sorry adsense does not qualify, lol. I cant even handg around this board because there are so many BS posts. but i have seem some real members. all the MLM adsense blogging stuff has driven out the elder crowd. i have seena few people selling electronics and some starting up firms or magazines.

REAL entrepreneurs check in here, i wanna see what we have!

as for me i run a vinyl business, im going to be going from custom work to selling stickers and whatnot should be an intresting process for the change but no sense posting it on here when people are just gunna tell me to put adsense on an e-commerce site!

Lets see what some of you do!

I own www.liquidcocaine.co.uk - the new energy drink cocaine
i sell it to the UK and europe and i've started selling to America.

So you developed an energy drink and manufactured it, and now trying to sell it? or are you part of an MLM or reseller trying to push it cause it tastes like ass?

**cocaine** · 11-21-2006 03:05 PM

I buy it from directly from the manufacturer and sell it.

**cocaine** · 11-21-2006 03:06 PM

i don't take part in any MLM or advertising methods.

they just make your website look cheap and tacky because if i see Ads on a ecommerce website it will tell me that they arnt making enough money from sales.

Richard Branson does all of the things you mention but because he loves business; I could start a business tomorrow, a shop say, and leave it at that and I would only class myself as a shop owner. The love of business, the passion for a product or the desire to sove a problem are the things I think of when trying to define entrepreneurship.
