How To Start An Internet Business

Question: Need advice for MBA?

I am a MS in Computer Science who’s got about 6 yrs of experience in the Networking/Telecom domain. I don’t see myself getting any smarter than my boss technically – so it appears I am at the end of a ladder here. Would like to go in for an MBA but having trouble deciding which specific concentration. I do know that I don’t like Accounting, Sales, Enterpreneurship. A combination of Finance + IT (i.e. more like Financial Maths) sounds interesting & have no idea what International Business is all about. Am wary abt specialized MBA programs in healthcare, real estate etc. I want to be able to switch industries in the future – maybe from finance to event management. What course should I really be looking for ?? And what materials/online forums/websites should I read to be better prepared for such a degree/job market.

Answer: Since you already have years of experience, you might look into executive MBA programs.

Question: I am trying to start a home based business online – where is the best place to be advertising online?

I have signed up to create several sites to market my business and attract people to want to find out more – now I need to get those sites out on the internet to start getting “hits”, and I am not sure where to start. I can’t afford thousands of dollars to drive traffic to the site. And I need to grow my business quickly and that means I need to find people who would be intersted in finding out more about what I am doing. http://cyf.ownanewbusiness.com

Answer: A few free resources – check out the sources box for links:

1) Create a blog pertaining to your field

2) Use Yahoo! Local & Yahoo! Groups – Be sure to read the TOS for each one!

3) Write articles pertaining to your field and/or expertise.

4) Advertise on Craiglist

Also, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other’s sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates & the program are paid a commission.

I listed a few handy sites & articles relating to marketing, promotion & advertising. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
