E-Capital Training Day 4

Easy Business Startups

So I had my fourth coaching lessons today and things are getting on track. I'm in the middle of finishing up my internet website/store by adding all the different products I'll be selling. There is one thing that is really good about this e-coaching and that is the builder program that came with it. It is one hell of a software that makes building a website for ANYTHING a ease. h
I'm trying to finish up the website/store somtime this week and start marketing it next week. If all goes well, this might actually work afterall.
I have to say though, my coach is very laid back... her personality and coaching style sure doesn't fit the "advanced coaching lessons" criteria/description. Well regardless, things are looking good as of now. Hopefully it really will turn out that way.
Like usual, I'll keep posting my progress and report here.

E-Capital Training Day 3

Business Startups

So I just had my third lesson with my internet coach. Supposedly there was a "mixed up" in my order where they thought I was interested in starting an ebay business. Long story short, I talked to the "executive director" and he assures me that I'll make my money back and that everything will be on track and if there's anymore problem, to just contact him and he'll fix it.

Whatever, I've decided to stick with the program and see what's what. I still haven't learned much from my coach yet. Maybe their specialty is internet marketing when the website is done. Anyhow, hopefully all is well.

I've applied to several dropshippers and have started another e-business as per my coach instructions. Let's see how that will turn out.

So a quick re-cap of what I learned so far: Use Ebay to track hot trends and hot products. Spend $60 to buy a dropshipper directory. Apply your dropshipper account with each supplier.

Business Startups - E-Capital Training Day 2

Business Startups

E-capital Training Day 2:

Today my lesson was some what informative. My coach certainly did clear up alot of doubts for me about choosing the right supplier and where to look for them. One thing I don't like is that they do not assist you in picking the right products to sell. They simply refer you to Ebay's Seller's Central and ask you to look for the hot picks. This tool is useful ofcourse, but none-the-less, it is a little disappointing knowing your coach isn't able to assist you in picking the right item.

From my experiences so far, the first couple of lessons are more of a Q&A session where you ask questions and your coach answer. They don't really guide you through much of anything UNTIL you've picked out your product and the supplier. The benefit to this is that you gain alot of information throughout these Q&A sessions and the coach really clears things up for you. The downside to it, though, is that you are still stuck in the early stages if you don't know what to sell. And knowing what to sell is probably the million dollar question that everyone wants to know. Decisions...decisions...decisions... if I'm not swarmed with work, I'd pushing on the gas pedal finding the right item to sell... hopefully I'll find something this week, apply through the suppliers, and start building my ebay business next week.

Business Startups - Detour!

Business Startups

Alright so we're gonna have a little detour today away from my chapter guides. Let's talk a little about some business startups out there. I've added a featured program called Paid Surveys Online. They are a legitimate advertising agency that collects surveys from different company and sends out to random people to complete. In return, these companies pay an amount for the Paid Survey's Online service and in return, Paid Survey Online pays its users a percentage of that payment.

This is what most people have to say:

"Unlike most work at home jobs, PaidSurveysOnline.com delivers what it promises! I have taken 20 surveys over the last week and keep getting invitations for more. I even had to turn some down I was offered so many. I am so thankful I found your site. Just want to let you know what a great service you offer. Keep up the good work!
- Peter Morton, Great Plains, NJ

"My husband said I would never make any money doing surveys. He said it sounded to good to be true. Boy, was he wrong! I have been doing so well now he wants access to the members area so he can sign up ;-) Thanks PaidSurveysOnline.com for making a believer out of me .. and proving my husband wrong!"
- Louise Grant, Tampa, Fla.

"I live in the UK. PaidSurveysOnline.com made it easy for me to find surveys for people in England. I joined another company before but they listed no surveys for people in the UK. PaidSurveysOnline.com has tons of surveys for people not living in the US. Plus, they make it easy to see which companies hire in the US and which hire internationally. Saved me a lot of time! " - Blanch Hopkins, UK

"IT'S THE PERFECT JOB! Work from home and set your own hours. You're in control.

You can work whenever you'd like, morning, noon, night .. midnight if you'd like .. it doesn't matter. Simply log in and select surveys to fill out, get paid for your time. Work for 30 minutes or three hours, it doesn't matter ..you set your own hours!


PaidSurveysOnline.com and its partners bring you fresh opportunities to express your opinions, participate in online focus groups, try out new products, be heard AND be paid to boot!!! How would you like to sit in the comfort of your own home, fill out surveys online, and participate in online focus groups and get a nice big paycheck at the end of the month!!


This is a perfect opportunity for stay at home moms, students, or someone that just doesn't have time for a commute to a dead end, part time job. OR, for anyone who wants to sit in their pajamas and work at home!!"


It is currently the largest and most popular paid survey system out there. It also has a high payrate of 98%. If you want some side cash and don't mind giving out your 2 cents for some cash, i'd say Paid Survey's Online is for you.
