Hi everyone... I find the following to be a useful guide!
Before spending tuns of money on a venture spend at least 6 months to a year + on research... understanding the technical issues and marketing aspects... such is key.
Spend some time and write up a business plan... even though 85-95% of business do not follow such to the T, at least you will be addressing questions that you might have missed, also you can determine your overhead...
If you have marketing or technical questions ask someone with a rock solid background in such and don't place 100% factual knowledge on what you hear in forums because those who you are asking for advice from are normally out for themselves first...
When dealing with people online be fair... however when posting in threads keep your remarks under 15 minutes per post and if it takes too much thought... then find something else at that time that will make you money and tell those who are asking for the info to contact you privately to hire you...
Always get a real street address and don't except PO boxes when excepting money orders and or checks and never start work before you have money in your hands... this is important if you do not know the parties that you are dealing with.
Don't be afraid to write up contract(s)...
Later,
.
