=====================================
Are You a Biz-Op Junkie?
(c) Copyright 2002, Angela Wu
=====================================
Once upon a time -- and I'm just a touch embarrassed to admit
it -- I threw common-sense out the window and went searching
for an "easy" way to make my fortune on the Internet. I
found what I *thought* was a perfect opportunity... but in
reality was nothing more than a pack of lies. Fortunately,
I was one of the lucky ones who quickly came to her senses
and successfully fought for and received a full refund.
This isn't always the case. Business opportunities, or
"biz ops" as they're commonly called, often prey on people
who are desperate to start making money from home. The
ridiculous claims of easy money can *seem* so real, so
achievable -- but let's face facts: there's no such thing
as easy money when it comes to starting a business.
You won't make $5000 every month with 30 minutes of work
a day. You won't receive $100,000 in your mailbox just
by sending $5 to the first address on a list. Your
"automated business-in-a-box" will not magically produce
$1000/day while you sit on the beach sipping a cool drink.
The lure of easy money is hard to resist. There is
certainly no shortage of biz ops, and no shortage of
people who are willing to try them. That's a *good*
thing in many ways, to be open to trying new things...
but it can also be dangerous: you could end up in the
situation where you jump from one biz op to another,
in an endless quest for something easier, faster, or
potentially more rewarding.
I once "spoke" through email with a very bright guy who
has been operating his own successful offline business for
over 10 years. He wanted a change, and so he came onto
the Internet looking for the perfect opportunity.
Well, he found several that appeared to be perfect. None
of them were -- he found that out the hard way, after
spending several thousands of dollars over the last 3
years. It just goes to show that no one is completely
"immune" to endless get-rich-quick claims, regardless of
how experienced or educated he is.
There seems to be some sort of belief -- especially with
people who are new to the Internet -- that joining a
business opportunity is the only way to make money online.
It's no wonder, then, that so many biz ops have sprung up
to fill the demand. But whatever happened to creating a
product or service of your own?
Starting a business online is financially very affordable,
when you compare it to the traditional 'brick-and-mortar'
business. What makes people so willing to shell out
several hundreds of dollars for a 'biz op', but equally
unwilling to spend the same money creating and building
a business of their own making?
Remember that 'biz ops', no matter how wonderful they may
seem, aren't a magic bullet. A business is a business,
and they all require time, commitment, hard work, and
plenty of determination. Biz ops are no different: in
amongst the scams there are legitimate opportunities --
but there's no such thing as a "perfect" opportunity
that's going to be right for everyone.
So if you've been doing the 'biz op tango'... consider
sitting down with a pencil and notepad -- and doing some
good, old-fashioned brainstorming. You just might discover
your ideal business!

6.) HOT BIZ TIP
__________
"Save to Disk - What's That?"
==============================================
You're about to download a file from a web site, when you see
a dialog box (window) appear with a couple of options:
1. Open from current location.
2. Save to disk.
What do you do? Open from current location, right? Sounds
reasonable. The file is at its current location, so open it.
Not so fast!
If you want to download the file to your computer at home or
work or wherever you are, then you'll want to use the option
that's selected by default... the one that's checked off to
begin with. "Save to disk".
Disk doesn't always mean "floppy disk". What it really means
is that you will save the file to a disk. Most likely this
will be, and should be, your hard drive. Otherwise known as
your (C:) drive. Though it could be your (D:) drive, or any
other letter drive as long as it's not your A:, B:, or the
drive you associated with your CD player.
Nope. You can't download to a CD! But you can burn a CD.
That is, copy programs and stuff onto a CD, which is called
"burning" a CD.
So, next time you get ready to download, just leave the "Save
to disk" option checked off. Technically, since the selector is a
"radio button" it can't be checked. It is selected.
And why is it called a radio button? Because it's round, and it's
kind of like those old radios that had the buttons you could
punch in, only one at a time. These computer radio buttons
can only be selected one at a time, which is different from
a check box, which allows multiple simultaneous selections.
Okay, I see your eyes starting to roll back in your head. So
let's dismiss this class! Just "Save to disk" then copy to
a floppy or some other larger storage device later, AFTER
you've downloaded.

step Downloading tutorial with pictures, you can do so here;

7.) WORD FROM THE EDITOR
_________________
We hope you have enjoyed this issue of the
Online Exchange E-zine.
A warm welcome to all of our New Subscribers.
The summertime duldrums ain't so dull after all.
While many businesses take time off this summer,
or at least cut way back on their marketing campaign,
in order to go vacationing, spend time with their families,
or just plain ole relax, the competition is really sticking
it to 'em! What do I mean? Here it is...Bluntly:
Having a business online is NO joke. It is NO get rich
quick scheme while you sit back and watch money come in.
This summer is NOT like most summers. It is busier than
ever. The smart ones know what to do to get ahead of the
competition. KNOWING the competition most likely is taking
it easy during the slow summer months, they are blasting
their marketing campaign all over the place. Advertising
in major ezines and newsletters are soaring because these
people know that NOW is the time to get ahead.
So, if you are one of the people who are just taking a step
back during the summer duldrums, you may want to re-think that
one again. Your competition is taking business from you as
I sit here. You slack, you lose! It will be much more of a
struggle to get started in the fall for the height of season,
because your competition has been blowing you out of the water
all summer long.
So, think about it...Who wants to be Successful Online?
Obviously the businesses who are spending their summer
over-running their competition.
Until Next Time!
Best Regards,
Debbie Solomon
