Hello Skid, It depends on what market that you wish to enter The oldest saying is ... Buy Low and Sell High In the IM world it is best to think about what you know something about and start there Then go to ClickBank and find a product to indorse as an affiliate Start a blog Write some articles about that field and post them and point them back to your blog or affiliate website You could look for a mentor for free or pay as that might be the cheapest and fastest way to making some money Here is Wishing You All the Best

I think a good business plan is not that important,compared to your execution.In my opinion,best execution even with common plan can make it.What's more,you should know what your potencial customer want and what is the most important thing to them.Then you can start your business and remember one sentence:all for customer and customer first.
It sounds you get a lot of free advice that will cost you a lot! How about investing something to get a bood business plan? I happened to find a 6 month course that was for small business and they taught us all that stuff. We had to do assignments - invested quite some time - but that was all. It was offered for free! Anything like that offered in your town? - It pays to learn from someone who knows!

We don't really have much money, 2 of us work in the food industry for a local restruant and the third one is unemployed due to being layed off.... Sucks... So any idea's for investors or donors, who I could contact. That is the main reason for this business plan, I know people are going to want to see one so.... yea....
