Hard times today make it much easier to start online businesses more than anything. It is very true that online businesses have far simpler accounting. They have fewer costs to track too.

Can anyone share experiences or recommendations? I’ve been told that tax liens are a low dollar investment strategy that can get you property totally free and clear.

You're right in that it can be so much more enjoyable in a business where there are personal interactions. That can be a downfall with internet businesses though the social media tools at least make it possible to interact easier than before. I myself have a full time job away from the internet work which involves me constantly interacting with people and I must say the job would not be the same without that element. Your site is interesting, I am fairly recent with the use of twitter, particularly linking it to my blogs. SOme interesting articles and I have bookmarked your site to go back and read more of them. As to my training and tutorials, I have a lot of material from others, some of which is free to give away, and I intend to add a category to my blog with this and to use some as a bonus for a blog sign up. I will also be posting when I complete a web security guide, the idea for which was prompted when I was hacked as I did not have a good enough password on my website log in. Since then have been trying to read up on web security and produce a guide for people as many have poor password security on websites and are even more careless on home PCs. Good luck Regards Dave Hello Sheree and thanks for your post. You’re right in that it can be so much more enjoyable in a business where there are personal interactions.

I have to disagree here because there are now so many fantastic and powerful social media communities and tools for those who would rather do their marketing in a more proactive and real-time, personal format. Every aspect of my own personal Internet business presence (other than a few lead generation and list elements that I only use in classified ad type of scenarios, not in social platforms) is geared toward encouraging people to connect and engage with me directly. This can be in the form of questions, help requests, discussions, ideas, and review requests from other bloggers who want a new opinion and some fresh ideas perhaps. I love this new media atmosphere, myself. I had a similar affiliate product/marketing site myself at one time and I just never felt like I was able to differentiate myself from the sea of other marketing/making money online sites and blogs out there. Kudos to you though for giving it your all and sharing your experiences with this type of online marketing style. I found you after you followed me on Twitter earlier today and I came to your blog for a specific reason... I get so many DMs, follows, and tweets coming at me all the time and still, I try to eventually look through and reply to those who actually have something other than selling me stuff on their agenda. You, my friend, had a profile blurb that made me stop and check you out. You said you like to help others, that's good enough for me. I'd like to chat about what you have in the way of training, tutorials in your help toolbox. I'll always be in need of help in some area or another, that's a sure bet. Good to meet you, and tweet you... @Web20Empire About the drawback of not being able to enjoy the direct interaction with customers…
