How to get paid

First of all,do you have a CPA or if you are doing this yourself make sure you keep accurate books .I will comment further on that in another text. Do you have a merchant account?. Check out the rates. Do you have a Paypal account ? Make sure your buttons are working properly. There is nothing more frustrating for a customer than a website that is not working properly.

Offer you customer coupons or discounts . Always remember to thank you customers. Remember your customers are your business.

Give correct information. Become an expert in your products. Be a product of your product.

Now pick a niche ?

Ok so you have a name . What do you want to represent . What is your Passion? What is your niche? The definition of a niche is a distinct niche market usually evolves when a potential demand for a product or service is not met by any supply, or when a new demand arises due to changes in society, technology, or the general environment. Your need a rarity. What makes YOU stand OUT of the crowd. Niches are special. Like people and raindrops are different so should your business. Remember there is no other Hope diamond or NEW YORK City or Elvis to name a few. Stand up and be noticed Be You.

What type of message do you want to convey to others.Brand yourself.Express yourself.Look around you. What do you see? You want something that will make you stand out.

After you pick out your name you will then have to pick a domain name . What is a domain name? A domain name is a what follows httpp//://wwwanyname you address on the web.Make it catchy but above all try to make it short .

Next, do a reseach on the name you picked . Don't make the mistake I did. I picked a name that belonged to someone else. Idid not know you should check not just locally but nationally.

You then may consider to have your company obtain a LLC. a LLC is A Limited Liability Company which in other words protects your personal assets.I work with a company called My New Company http://www.mynewcompany.com/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=1179who guided me through the LLC process.I picked a name which I found out belonged to someone esle AND I could not cash my check that I receieved. Lucky they were small enough that I was able to get them reprocessed.My New Company helped me pick a new name .I thank God my company has a LLC because it gives peace of mind.

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF

My name is Diana Kerekes, I have been a RN for over 24 yrs. I thought I would want to be a nurse forever but then I saw what nursing had become, and boy I did not what to do that for the rest of my life.Just like my colleagues I got tired of working long hours and not being able to do my job.TO BE A NURSE! I love touching people's lives and I still plan to do so with my blog.

So, with that in mind ,I started looking at different programs out there to start a home based- business.I said it can't be that bad compared to being yelled at having to deal with death and dying, and tring to save lives.This must be a piece of cake WRONG!

You know why I did not know where to start.

Then I thought ok, I'll look in the paper or online and take it from there. Well,many promising the moon only to have either empty promises or complicated programs /compensation plans that took too long to understand.


What I then did was start reading all the books I could get my hands on about home based businesses thinking okay this is the approach to success. Sure if you want to read volumes upon volumes of books. Don't misunderstand me there are some great books I came across which I will share with you in future blogs .


I had no mentor no coach in the business world . I WAS ALONE!! When you start any business you need people or guess what you don't have a business.


You need the support of either your family or friends.There will be negative people out there to discourage you. Always remember "WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH THEIR LIVES".I was very fortunate that I always had my husband Peter behind me.There will be times you will want to quit,but remember this to shall pass.


If you have a burning passion and desire to start a business you can do it. YOU WILL FIND THE WAY !!!


I now am the owner of DPK CREDIT & BUSINESS SERVICES,LLC . I am always learning new things. I am willing to grow from each new experience. I have met such wonderful exciting people which Iwill introduce in further blogs.


My goal really is to spare at least one person what I went through and to share different ways with others as well as to invite others to share with me their ideas .


So, as I close today I will start with the basics of what to do first to start you business on my next blog.
