William, I started out of my house many moons ago with a couple of businesses...that I still own and run. What I have found, sometimes the hard way, is you need to take control of your own destiny with regard to your business, What I mean by that, is you need to educate yourself on what to and what not to do...and how to do it. This is why I love the site I sent you to so much. It does all of that and more. They teach and set you up on your own website, your cohesive marketing campaigns using social marketing, the tools to run all of this, how to do articales, ezines, ebooks and market them, how to use YouTube, blogs and much more. In addition to that, I can show you how to set up your online business as an informational site...and sell related products from large well known suppliers, without having to deal with the products or the buyers...just cash the check. This is a great passive way to use you website for income while you develop your venture.
