The city will need a hero to rise up and take the role of <b>Protector</b>, a leader type. A leader can be a generous King or a Totalitarian Tyrant. While one man can wish to rebuild the rubble of a broken city, the other may intend to burn it to ashes and eliminate the Burden. This is fits the characterization of the Hero and Villain from the Comics and truly seems like the direction of the film.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px;"><br />

Customers want to know who you are and, if you lead a team, who is on it and what they do. "You must talk about the team," Bredin seconds. "When there is nothing [on your site] about who you are or who's on your team, people wonder about whether you are a good company to buy from."</p><p style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">Here are the 10 most important things these experts say customers want to know:</p><ol style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 25px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><li style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-bottom: 1em; "><strong style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; ">How your business is unique</strong><br />Answer the question "Who are you?" as interestingly and compellingly (and honestly) as possible. This includes writing management bios that mention your expertise, years of experience and any unique attributes or details that may set you apart from others.<br /><br />You need to answer, Bredin says, "What is unique about your business? Why should I buy from you?" This is missing from many business sites because the owners haven't done the strategic thinking necessary to figure that out, she says.<br /><br />Be concise, too, Cutler adds.

Some also feel that consumers will have no reason to contact them by phone if they get all they need from the website. "There's a balance that needs to be reached" in giving the potential customer enough info to make a buying decision, she says.

"A phone number, a street address and even pictures go a long way toward building credibility."<br /><br />Showing a physical location, even one that no one will ever visit, comforts a customer that your business is real and legitimate, Bredin says. Provide a phone number that maps to that location, rather than just an 800 number, she advises.<br /></li><li style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-bottom: 1em; "><strong style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; ">Third-party validation<br /></strong>This means customer testimonials, client lists, case studies, awards and recognition you've received, positive news clippings and the like. Potential customers indeed want to know who you do business with, and what current customers have to say about their experiences. Such items "forge the underpinnings of trust," Porter says.<br /><br />Client lists are especially important if your customers are businesses. "If you've got some big-name customers, people like to see that," Cutler says. But make sure you get approval from those you list as clients, she adds.<br /><br />Porter adds that having a presence on social networking sites and blogs, especially those serving your industry, is an increasingly popular form of validation among customers. "Social networking now has strong validation," he says.<br /></li><li style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-bottom: 1em; "><strong style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; ">Secure Socket Layer (SSL)</strong><br />SSL is an encryption system that helps protect the privacy of data exchanged between a customer and a website.

If you do, let customers know that and about any other safeguards you proactively take.<br /></li><li style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-bottom: 1em; "><strong style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; ">Ease of use and navigation<br /></strong>If people can't find it, they can't buy it. Porter advises keeping sites "crisp, clean, and easy to navigate," but also for site owners to study traffic and usage patterns to adjust their sites based on what visitors are coming for. "The ability to search a site is very important," he says. "Businesses should study their search data to see if there are trends and what to make front and center."<br /></li><li style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-bottom: 1em; "><strong style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; ">Clear guidance on your processes<br /></strong>Let customers know, step-by-step, important things such as how to order--and where to go and what to do should something happen out of the ordinary. Customers also want to know your shipping costs and procedures and how they can get status reports. (Don't list your shipping costs and procedures after people enter their credit card information, Cutler urges.) Last but not least, customers want to know how you handle complaints and problems, return procedures and whether you have a money-back guarantee.<br /><br />Your processes can be described in a FAQ (frequently asked questions) page or separate "how to order," shipping and/or confirmation pages. Include a way customers can contact your business or fulfillment agency for more information.<br /></li><li style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-bottom: 1em; "><strong style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; ">An ability to give feedback</strong><br />Encourage feedback about your products and services, your ordering process and your site in general, by providing a feedback mechanism--either feedback forms or e-mail links.

It is a modern variation of the practice of paying a finder's fee for the introduction of new clients to a business. Compensation may be made based on a certain value for each visit (Pay per click), registrant (Pay per lead), or a commission for each customer or sale (Pay per sale), or any combination. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.75pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <br />
Merchants like affiliate marketing because it is a "pay for performance model", meaning the merchant does not incur a marketing expense unless results are realized. <br />
<br />
Some e-commerce sites run their own affiliate programs while other e-commerce vendors use third party services provided by intermediaries to track traffic or sales that are referred from affiliates. Some businesses owe much of their growth and success to this marketing technique, although research has shown in general the increase to be approximately 15-20% of online revenue <br />
<br />
<b>Why participate in an affiliate program?</b> <br />
<br />
It allows you to work part-time. It gives you the opportunity to build a generous residual income. And it makes you an owner of a small business. Affiliate programs have already created lots of millionaires. They are the living testimony of how hard work; continuous prospecting, motivating and training others pay off. <br />
<br />
If ever you are deciding to join one, you must take note that you are getting into something that is patterned to what you are capable of. This will be an assurance that you are capable of doing anything to come out successful. <br />
<br />
How do you choose a good affiliate program to promote? Here are some tips you </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><a name='more'></a>may want to look over before choosing one: <o:p></o:p></span></div><ol start="1" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.75pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">A program that you like and have interest in. One of the best ways of knowing if that is the kind of program you wish to promote is if you are interested in purchasing the product yourself. If that is the case, chances are, there are many others who are also interested in the same program and products. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.75pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Look for a program that is of high quality. For instance, look for one that is associated with many experts in that particular industry. This way, you are assured that of the standard of the program you will be joining into. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.75pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Join in the ones that offer real and viable products. How do you know this? Do some initial research. If possible, track down some of the members and customers to give you testimonial on the credibility of the program. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.75pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The program that is catering to a growing target market. This will ensure you that there will be more and continuous demands for your referrals. Make inquiries. There are forums and discussions you can participate in to get good and reliable feedbacks. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.75pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">A program with a compensation plan that pays out a residual income and a payout of 30% or more would be a great choice. There are some programs offering this kind of compensation. Look closely for one. Do not waste your time with programs that do not reward substantially for your efforts. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ol><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Have a thorough and intensive knowledge about the affiliate program and network you will be promoting on. <br />
<br />
Knowing the kind of program you are getting yourself into will make you anticipate and prevent any future problems you may encounter. <br />

To use viral marketing to it's fullest potential, you'll want to employ many different techniques into the marketing plan of your site. Some include great looking graphics, pre written emails, integration marketing strategies, pre-written articles and blog posts, etc.<br /><br />All of the above will help to increase the traffic to your site by offering incentive for your existing members so they will do the work for you. But one of the best and under-utilized viral techniques of them all is by providing a simple way for your existing members to tell their friends about your product or service.<br /><br />Trusted endorsements by friends is the best form of advertising bar-none. And what's even better is it costs nothing to implement.<br /><br />Many <strong>tell-a-friend scripts</strong> have came out and have been effective to a certain degree, but they lacked the features necessary to cause a viralwave of traffic that we'd all love to experience on our sites.<br /><br />Well, the same guy who created the most incredible Viral Marketing script that has revolutionized the internet marketing industry and made <strong>viralmarketing</strong> easy for virtually everyone has just created a new tool that has been responsible for over $209,349 in extra sales just from two betatesters using it in it's raw form.<br /><br />The marketer is <strong>Mike Filsaime</strong>, and the new tool is Viral Friend Generator.<br /><br />He just launched the completed version and I am thoroughly impressed. Viral Friend Generator is the next evolution in tell-a-friend technology. In less than five minutes (the time it takes you to fill in the form and upload to your server)... you can literally multiply the number of visitors and subscribers your web site receives by <strong>300% or higher</strong>!<br /><br />It is compatible with all of the major <strong>autoresponder</strong> services out thereand has many incredible features that every other tell-a-friend script just cannot compete with at all.<br /><br />Put your marketing efforts into high gear with this extremely powerful newand easy to use tool that was put together by the Viral Marketing Expertof experts, Mike Filsaime.<br /><br />Visit:</span><a href="https://paydotcom.com/r/11825/RobertRao/"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Watch the FREE Video Demo Here</span></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"></span><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">If you want to read some great case studies with real results from thisnew software, then go to:</span><a href="https://paydotcom.com/r/11825/RobertRao/"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Download Your FREE Software Here</span></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><em>Note: Please leave comment after reviewing this article & visiting the link...</em></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Here you will find a great selection of money making home business opportunities, find one that will compliment and help you with your own money making home business or start one from new.</div>Robert R.

There is nothing more satisfying then the pride of ownership that comes from being a business owner - not to mention spending more time with family and spending your day doing the things you want, instead of the things you need to do! Unlike most "brick and mortar" pr traditional businesses, It is possible to start an <a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=1804769">internet business </a>to make money online without having to work long hours or seven days a week. As a home business owner, you make your own hours and schedule. There are no sick days, no having to make an uncomfortable call to the boss, etc. If you need to be home for most of the day, then starting a home business will give you the income you will need and the freedom to work when you want.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;">Making money online can be done in a <a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=1804769">variety of ways</a>. The Internet has revolutionized the whole concept of making money. You can sell goods and services through your own web site, you can join an <a href="http://perrymarshall.com/cmd.php?pg=Robert37">affiliate marketing program </a>- where you become like a "distributor" for the parent company, you can offer your writing, editing, web design, and other creative services to those who need it, or you can find a data entry or customer service program. You can even sell other people's products in what are called "master rights" or "private label rights" programs. No writing skills; business or product-development experience; or business degree are required! One thing that should determine which business opportunity you decide to pursue is the amount of automation provided to you. Remember, this is the Internet! You should be able to leverage your time in the most constructive manner. I hate calling and selling - I think that is an awful way to spend your time. Most of your prospecting time should be on <a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=1804769">generating traffic</a> through Internet marketing - not cold calling!</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;">Finding out more about what is available will require you to search the internet, ask others who work from home, and begin visiting job boards to see what is available. Also, if you choose the <a href="http://perrymarshall.com/cmd.php?pg=Robert37">affiliate route</a>, be sure to sign up under a good sponsor - one who is part of a good team with tools, resources and mentoring! You shouldn't have to learn lessons the hard way on your own. Learn from the successes and/or failures of your sponsor and the team. Once you have decided which business to go into, you will have to spend time building a web site and marketing your services. Most good <a href="http://perrymarshall.com/cmd.php?pg=Robert37">affiliate programs </a>provide you with turnkey websites and other material, but you will eventually want to make your own, more personal site. This will help you build a customer base. After a few months, you will have an internet business that makes good money online.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;">Once you have started your business, you may want to find other ventures that will make money. This is what is referred to as "<a href="http://perrymarshall.com/cmd.php?pg=Robert37">multiple streams of income</a>." There are many programs available that will give you commissions for sales that are made through your marketing efforts. You can find numerous opportunities for this type of program. You may also be able to use one business to promote another. I suggest getting some good experience with one business venture before deciding to grow into multiple income streams. This way, the skills you have developed and the lessons you have learned in your first business can help you get off to a good start with your next one.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;">As you learn more about the internet, you will be able to make connections, see money making opportunities, and you will be able to learn more about what is available. This is a great way to reinvest the money you have earned while maintaining your bottom line. Internet businesses that make money online are those that are continually advertised in different markets - so be sure to diversify your marketing campaigns. By expanding your business or starting another, you will increase your profits and take advantage of everything the internet has to offer. Most importantly, you will be able to attain the pride of business ownership and the lifestyle of your dreams!</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;">Take action now!!</span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Here you will find a great selection of money making home business opportunities, find one that will compliment and help you with your own money making home business or start one from new.</div>Robert R.

Just join an affiliate program and the money will come pouring in, or, so say numerous Internet marketing gurus. There are lots of e-books that supposedly show affiliates how to do this. Problem is, the methods that they promote don’t work for most people.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Why do many aspiring Internet Marketers fail to make money with their affiliate programs? </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Chris McNeeney, author of Affiliate Project X, was once himself an affiliate marketing failure. However, he refused to give up in defeat. After spending much time, effort and money learning what does and doesn’t work, he began to experience some success with online marketing. His success led him to meet several big earning affiliates who began to share their closely guarded secrets with him. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">These were trusted secrets that they assumed he would keep to himself.They were wrong.Chris decided to write an e-book and expose these winning tactics so that the average struggling affiliate out there could catch a break and have a chance to earn some decent money with their affiliate program. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">One of the things that Chris wants people to know is that there’s no magic to making good money with a niche affiliate marketing program, it’s simply a matter of how specific knowledge is applied.Although somewhat controversial, Affiliate Project X is being praised by affiliate marketers from all walks of life. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Many applaud Chris for exposing the hidden moneymaking techniques of the upper 1% of online affiliates. Chris is quick to point out, however, that while he exposes the winning techniques, it’s only a starting point.Chris covers six proven affiliate techniques, and explains how to do each one in plain English. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">The guide is designed to be easy to read and gives step-by-step instructions.To prove his point, Chris actually gathered together several clueless Internet Marketers and had them try out the strategies found inside Affiliate Project X. Within a short time, each and every one of them (that put in the time and effort) made money.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">For more information about the Affiliate Project X ebook visit this site: </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><em>http://lnk.in/showmeprojectxfpr</em></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Here you will find a great selection of money making home business opportunities, find one that will compliment and help you with your own money making home business or start one from new.</div>Robert R.

Sure, a thriving one- or two-person service business with no inventory, rent or employees can seem like an easy way to make money at first, but when the phone starts ringing off the hook and customers keep coming back for more, homebased business owners who fail to plan often fall victim to their own success. Either they burn out trying to juggle everything themselves or they spend so much time and money hiring people to help them that their profits go down the drain.<br /><br />Fortunately, there are some ways to take your homebased business to new heights without sacrificing your business's profitability or losing your peace of mind.<br /><br />Follow these 10 steps to grow your homebased business into the personal and professional success it was meant to be:<br /><ol><li><strong>Focus on a single product or service, and then market it, sell it, promote it-do everything you can to increase sales of that one product or service.</strong> While it's tempting to swing for the fences and try to be all things to all people, it's often less risky and more profitable to pick a product or two that you can execute really well and just try to get on base.Richard Roy, a Sparta, New Jersey landscaper, started a homebased dog-waste removal business called Dr. Pooper Scooper when he got tired of picking up the dog poop from his customers' lawns. Instead of splurging on a retail storefront or an expensive Yellow Pages ad, Roy decided to use his truck as his primary advertising vehicle. Says Roy, "I decorated the truck as a Dalmatian, used full signage and put magnetic business cards on it. By using the truck as my moving billboard, by joining community groups and through word of mouth, I've turned what was once my nightmare into a thriving business serving 100 customers and making 1,100 pickups a week."Thanks to Dr. Pooper Scooper's success, Roy is now planning to phase out his landscaping business and focus on his new venture full time. "When I scoop the poop, I do it 12 months a year and never have to fix or replace equipment," Roy says. "It's also three time easier than landscaping, and I can do it until I can't walk anymore."<br /></li><li><strong>Expand your product line to offer complementary products or services.</strong> Once you've hit on a product or service that customers really like, don't miss the opportunity to bring out related items to diversify your product line. Not only does that give your customers a wider selection, but it also makes your products more appealing to retailers who typically like to stock a line of products as opposed to a single item.Meredith LiePelt, who runs a company called Contemporary Baby out of her home in Dublin, Ohio, started off making colorful burp cloths for newborns. Now she's expanded her line to include such "go along" products as receiving blankets, bibs and gift baskets. Says LiePelt, "Our retail customers have enjoyed having more gift-giving options, and our wholesale clients are able to offer their customers a wider selection to choose from."<br /></li><li><strong>Find ways to increase sales to your existing customers.</strong> It's a lot cheaper than finding new ones. Even if you can't expand your product line, you can boost revenues by selling more of your existing product or service to the clients you already have. One easy way to do this is through volume discounts. Especially if your products cost little to produce, offering your customers the chance to buy, say, two T-shirts for the price of one lets you ring up additional sales without sacrificing much profit. Another common practice is to reward loyal customers by giving them a punch card that entitles them to a free product or service for every 10 items they buy. This technique is common at hair salons, car washes and arts-and-crafts stores, but homebased businesses can use it, too.<br /></li><li><strong>Hire someone to help you out-an employee, a freelancer, an intern, an independent contractor, even your kids.</strong> Not only does this free up cash flow by adjusting your expenses to the level of work you bring in, but it also enables you to cultivate a large network of talented people you probably couldn't afford to hire full time.Marc Kirschner, a neighborhood directory publisher in New York City, employs 50 to 75 writers-all of whom are freelancers-to develop his directory's content. This way, Marc saves on payroll taxes, medical benefits, employer liability insurance and all the other costs of hiring full-time staffers. There are other benefits, too. "Bringing in outside help gives you someone else to bounce ideas and strategies off of," Kirschner says. "It prevents you from feeling you're going it alone."<br /></li><li><strong>Create a Web site to advertise your company or sell products online.</strong> Thanks to the Internet, it's no longer necessary to open a store to reach retail customers. For marketers of specialty products like rare books, collectibles and gourmet foods, a Web-based boutique lets you reach millions of shoppers around the world without paying for rent, utilities or garbage collection.And while creating Web sites once required a big investment and the skills of an experienced Web designer or programmer, do-it-yourself Web sites are now available for less than $30 a month with no technical knowledge required. Typically, the companies that help you register your domain name (Web address) will provide online templates you can use to build your site, host your Web pages on their server and provide you with multiple e-mail addresses as well. E-commerce capabilities can often be had for an additional charge. You can also set up low-cost Web sites through Web hosting companies and search engines.<br /></li><li><strong>Join forces with another business to promote your company.</strong> Partnering with a company in a related industry is one of the cheapest and easiest forms of marketing that you can employ. If you make spa products, for example, you may be able to convince a local health club to carry them in its store by offering a discount to its members. Likewise, you can send a free, one-day health club pass to anybody who buys your lotions and scrubs.Nancy Tamosaitis, a homebased publicist, says her New York firm, Vorticom, has partnered with a graphic design firm to provide creative services such as Web design and brochures to her corporate PR clients. From time to time, she also joins forces with specialty PR firms to assist clients in fashion, finance and other industries. "Now that I'm working from home, my clients receive infinitely better service and results-at much lower cost-than when I managed a $3 million profit center at a top PR agency," Tamosaitis says.<br /></li><li><strong>Target other markets.</strong> If you sell to teens, start marketing to college students. If you sell to working moms, maybe your product will work for stay-at-home moms with a few modifications. Another strategy is to take a retail-oriented product or service and sell it wholesale. For example, a homebased catering business that specializes in cakes, pies and other tasty desserts can contact local bakeries to sell its goods on a wholesale basis. While the price you get from the bakeries will be lower (because the bakeries need to mark it up to their customers to make a profit), you'll sell more products and generate consistent cash flow that you can bank on.<br /></li><li><strong>Find new and different ways to market your business through e-mail newsletters or by doing guest-speaking gigs or by teaching a class.</strong> Marketing your homebased business doesn't need to involve spending big money on newspaper ads, Yellow Pages listings, or TV or radio spots. Grassroots marketing techniques cost far less and are often much more effective. Most chambers of commerce and community groups are more than happy to provide a forum to a local business owner who's willing to share his expertise at no charge. Sending out a weekly newsletter is also a great way to get your name out in front of new and potential clients. Thanks to the Internet, you can send out your newsletter via e-mail using online templates and automated delivery systems.<br /></li><li><strong>Expand to another location.</strong> That could mean renting "virtual" office space in a business center or by sharing office space with another growing business. Brad Taylor, a CPA in Springfield, New Jersey, spends most of his time at home preparing tax returns, developing tax-planning strategies and revising his clients' QuickBooks files. But when he needs to come to New York City for a meeting, he sometimes rents space at a Manhattan business center operated by HQ Global, a national provider of temporary office space.For a monthly fee or a la carte, business centers like these offer everything from conference rooms and receptionist services to remote-access voicemail, high-speed Internet connectivity and tech support, offering homebased business owners as much or as little outside office services as they need. Taylor pays just $10 an hour to use the space and is able to bill the cost to his client. "While I still want to run my business from home, this has allowed me to pursue new opportunities and network with other professionals," Taylor says.<br /></li><li><strong>Think about turning your business into a franchise or business opportunity.</strong> While most homebased businesses remain small, yours may have the potential to hit the big time through franchising, licensing or wholesale distribution. The key question to ask yourself is if your business can be converted into a business format that somebody else could operate (a franchise) or if you have a standardized product or service that someone could resell multiple times (a business opportunity). While you may think that expanding <span style="font-size:100%;">your</span> business requires raising capital, hiring employees, buying equipment and leasing office or warehouse space, it's often more profitable-and less risky-to license your product to a big corporation with manufacturing capabilities and an existing sales force to do the work for you. </li></ol><p><em>This article originally appeared on </em><a href="http://www.entrepreneur.com/" target="_blank"><em>Entrepreneur.com.</em></a></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Here you will find a great selection of money making home business opportunities, find one that will compliment and help you with your own money making home business or start one from new.</div>Robert R.
