Suggestions

[ANDREW07]

I am currently of work and recovering from an operation. I have limited experience in starting up and running a business but want to use my time of work to start up. Has any one got any ideas in terms of fields of business I could look in to? I am willing to learn, read up, do the ground work etc as I have allot of time on my hands over the next 3 months so any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks and look forward to hearing your suggestions.

Sorry to hear of your situation what interests do you have?

[ANDREW07]

Thanks, I am an Electrical & Instrument Technician by trade but would prefer to stay away from this. I am interested in Soccer & Mountain Biking and general business of all fields i have no field which I could say I want to start up in; I am just looking for ideas sort of like a brain storm.

[ANDREW07]

So what are your interests? You can start with that but not the stressful ones.

You can write a book. A story on how to aviod sergery.

Are you looking for a physical business or an Internet business? (Since you're recovering, I would assume an Internet business, but I want to be sure before I start spouting things off!)

More than likely an internet based business of some kind but one major draw back, I have no experience building a web site.

Do you have any interest in network marketing?

[ANDREW07]

I have to be honest I have no experience in this all I really know about this is what I entered into Google 5 mins ago, this seems to have gained some bad press with links to illegal pyramid schemes. What did you have in mind?

[ANDREW07]

I was thinking of opening an ebay store, any advice, opinions? one vital question; do you need experiance in setting up and running a web site to do this?

[postman da rich kid]

Hey andrew sorry to hear that. I've found that its easier to be successful at a business when starting something you are interested in, and something you already know about.

The reason I say pick something your interested in is because there are going to be ups and downs, when its down you need a motivation to keep going. If its a business your not even interested in than there won't be as much motivation to continue.

good luck my friend.

The reason I ask is because I have an opportunity at http://www.website.ws/iventures , in case you're interested. I am currently trying to recruit 10 people directly under me, who I can help recruit their own 10 downline members, and on and on. Let me know if you're interested.

As for an eBay store, you shouldn't really need any prior Website building experience. Do you know yet what you would be selling?

[ANDREW07]

Thanks for the offer stealthy one, but I do not feel I would have any thing to offer you in terms of experience in this sector and with limited contacts I may struggle to recruit 10 people. No I haven’t yet decided what I might sell; I am going to spend some time over the next couple of days researching products and their market to see if there is a niece in any sector of the highly competitive eBay stores. I have thought over the past few days about staying clear of products that have many legislations and laws such as electrical equipment etc and keeping the product simple such as gift cards wrapping paper etc. any opinions on this? What would any one recommend?

Thanks
