How Can An Online Business Possibly Be A Real Business?

How Can An Online Business Possibly Be A Real Business?

If any of you already have your own online business, or is thinking about starting one up, here’s a forum post which I found so interesting that I decided to pop it here into my blog. It is copied unchanged and with full permission of the author called Cindy in the forum.

The Online Business Alliance is a real, complete turn-key business that you operate online. Read on to see what Cindy has to say about it and then click one of the banners to find out even more. Believe me, it is very clever!

I just have something that I would like to point out to you. This is something that will come up from time to time – and you will have to deal with it. So, here is a comparison that will help you answer the question, “Do You Own Your OBA Business?”

I have a very good friend who wanted to own her own business – she chose a McDonald’s franchise. I had the pleasure of working side-by-side with this great lady as she began her career as a McDonald’s Restaraunt Owner.

Let’s compare a few things:

Donna purchased franchise rights from McDonald Corporation. She purchased land and had a restaraunt built to McDonald’s specifications.

You purchased a digital product (ebook) from OBA’s soon-to-be digital library. You obtained free web hosting to host your sales page. Your sales page was built according to Dave’s specifications.

Comparison – Both businesses began pretty much the same way. Something was purchased, resale rights were given, and you became a representative of a larger business.

McDonald’s provided Donna with a business plan, products to sell, and support from the McDonald’s Corporation.

OBA (Dave) provided you with a business plan, products to sell, and support from the CEO and every other OBA affiliate who wishes to participate in the OBC.

Comparison: Both companies provided a business plan, a product, and support.

McDonald’s gives franchise owners choices about whether or not they wish to provide specialty sandwiches on the menu. McDonald’s does have some stipulations that are in place to protect McDonald’s Corporation and individual franchise owners. Donna chooses how she runs her business – she chooses her managers, she chooses her hours of operation, and she chooses her employees.

OBA gives affiliates choices about which products they wish to sell – you choose whether you want to only sell digital products or if you also wish to participate in building a business that earns you recurring monthly income. OBA has rules and stipulations in place in order to protect OBA and individual OBA affiliates. You choose how much time you want to dedicate to your business, how you want to advertise your business, and how far you want to take your business.

Comparison: Both companies have rules in place for the protection of both the company and the individual business owners. Both companies allow you the freedom to decide how to run your business and how successful you want to be.

McDonald’s Corporation earned a one-time franchise fee and earns a recurring, monthly income.

Dave earns a one-time admin fee when someone leases an Adspace and a recurring monthly income from the programs.

Comparison: Both business plans work the same.

Should McDonald’s Corporation make money by offering people a chance to own their own businesses? Sure – or there would be no McDonald’s Corporation.

Should the CEO of OBA make money by offering people a chance to own their own businesses? Sure – or there would be no OBA.

Does Donna own her own business? You better believe she does! (now 4 total)

Do you own your own OBA business? You better believe you do! And, you have the option of making your business just what you want it to be!

So, the next time someone tells you that you really don’t own your own business, you know better!!

Free Online Cash System Scam — Not!

Free Online Cash System Scam — Not!

Let’s get it straight – I am in the Free Online Cash System, but it isn’t my main business activity. Nevertheless I felt it was time to write about it, hopefully in a useful way.

The problem with this sort of online cash program is that it really is difficult for most people to believe it can actually work. Unlike most ‘conventional’ online businesses – affiliate marketing, blogging, web malls – any free online cash system is automatically considered to be a scam. I think it must be the phrase ‘no out of pocket expenses’ which fools people.

Actually, the Free Online Cash System is quite a simple concept, but the working of it does seem to be a bit over-complicated. Now that may be just my own opinion as I rather prefer proper blueprints and step-by-step systems. Reading the training page, which is very comprehensive and thorough in some ways, actually seems bitty and disjointed. However, all the elements are there, you just have to work out for yourself what to do and when. Well, it looks that way to me.

The ‘no out of pocket expenses’ should not be mis-interpreted. You are told as you go through the introductory web pages that you will need to outlay some small amounts of money using your credit card, but you very quickly reclaim these – or cancel the due payment in keeping with the terms and conditions of the particular offer you go for. This is all very proper – legal, decent and honest, as they used to say in the advertising world (and perhaps still do).  So yes, you have to pay out very small amounts, but you get them back so you will never be out of pocket – unless you forget to cancel or reclaim.

If this seems a bit long-winded and time-consuming, then there is another option you can go for and by-pass the first two phases. This was my choice as I preferred to make better use of my time and paid ‘up front’. In the event the program does not work for me, then I accepted that I would lose my $200 – but I had this choice. Actually, I would probably not have gone for the long way round as I just knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of everything with everything else that was going on in my life and business at the time.

To work through phases one and two the long-way (shan’t say the ‘hard’ way because everything is clearly set out for you), you do need to be very organised and keep track of dates etc so that you don’t miss cancelling something. I was happier taking the more expensive short-cut myself.

So, does the Free Online Cash System work? Well it certainly seems to, but for me it has only been 5 weeks since I joined – and a few of the early days were spent getting my free website set up etc. You can see it here at LETSALLMAKECASH.INFO

I haven’t spent any time on FOCS for about three weeks and today I saw a message that came in a couple of weeks ago telling me to expect some cash (not actual cash, it’s paid into my new AlertPay Account). When it comes through I’ll update this blog post and tell you how much it was for.

But it won’t matter how much it amounts to as the Free Online Cash System must only ever be looked at as a long-term investment of your time. You are not going to make pots of money overnight, but as the system grows and more people become involved and simply work through the required phases, then the profit-sharing element will kick in and all sorts of other things which frankly, I have still not quite grasped.

Let me say though, that the one thing which really convinced me to sign up was the contact I had with the founders. OK, it was only by email, but I had personal responses to my questions and help with a couple of setting up problems – and very promptly too. This kind of personal contact speaks volumes to the integrity of the program.

Pop over to my web page LETSALLMAKECASH.INFO which is the one they provided for me (I just had to choose and buy the domain name) and you will find all the bullet points. Oh yes, and despite the ads, there are a couple of very small monthly fees you need to pay for their recommended autoresponder and web hosting. Even if you have those already, it is much easier if you sign up for the integrated ones they offer. Frankly, these are small potatoes if it means you get everything working as quickly as possible – after all, every kind of online business needs these anyway.

So, check out the Free Online Cash System for yourself and see what you think. If you’d like to go for it I will be pleased to see you in my team. Just go to LETSALLMAKECASH.INFO

To your continued success

PS   The Free online Cash System is NOT cash gifting. That’s a whole different ball-game and not one I would ever get into myself.
