Lesson 3. Fixing and Maintaining a Business for Woot or Blogger or any site

(Or How I sold my website and I'm a multi-billionaire and buy a mound of coke to snort like Al Pacino in Scarface - He's my hero)
If you guess the 1960's anti-war film title I'm referencing, I'll write a blog about whatever you decide and I'll dedicate it to you


As I've discussed in previous entries, success is purely based on attitude. Any business in the U.S, India, China - small or mega corporation - always work on the platform of a working business model / practice. In a economy struggling to stay afloat, the suggestions I've researched and scoured the net to find ways to learn AND earn about business are launching points to everyone:
1. Amazon - The website, thanks to Jeff Bezos, was made into the widest international vendor of any and all products distributed found in a website because of dedication and hardwork from operating out of his tiny garage to corporate level boss. To continue onto the relevant point, though lol Amazon allows a seller to easily place their merchandise on their website for a minimal fee and once said merchandise is bought, Amazon takes care of the rest.

2. Craigslist - As a Wikipedia entry states, it's a "centralized network of online communities, featuring free online classified advertisements – with sections devoted to jobs, housing, personals, for sale, services, communitys, gigs, resumes and discussion forums" But I call it a virtual classified sections. And as such, you can sell any item on the website without a seller charge. Terrific site.

3. Jakob Lodwick - If you're familiar with Vimeo.com, Collegehumor.com or Bustedtees.com and their outstanding quality of brand, it's rest assured you've experianced the Lodwick experiance. He's the sole creator / mind behind video host Vimeo, the first HD video service of it's kind, and he's co-ceo of all the above companies. A inspiration in and of itself, you could call Jakob Lodwick web 2.0 genius. Good job, sir.

4. Markus Persson - He's a videogame developer who soley developed and released the game Minecraft. The videogame is selling 250,000 units per day at $13 a pop. He worked on King.com and collaborated on other videogame works for years prior his own project. At the age of 7, his father bought a Commodore 64 and purchased computer magazines about code writing. At 8, Markus made his first game, a text adventure. So if you're planning to be a entrepreneur on the web in 2010 or beyond, try to research and find out more about Markus - Because, really - He's a millionaire. Why can't you be?

5. Branchr - A advertising agency, the Branchr website is the last place you'd think I'd mention. but you have to ask yourself - what multi-millionaire dollar company is run by someone 15-years-old? Due to lack of resources, I can't find much to tell you about him. but in summary: At the age of 15, the founder of Branchr was inspired by Apple's Steve Jobs to create his own website with loose change he made through allowance with only one goal: Earn a million dollars. And in less than two years, he's accomplished the feat. Now he's going for a billion dollars in an annual year. Check him out: http://branchr.com/company/about

2. How to make a profitable business start-up work right

Step 2. If you've read the basics of my last blog, you'll know this one involves a little more heavier material. For a proper way to launch your product or yourself to internets super stardom, I ask you to visit two social crowd sourcing websites - Reddit.com and Stumbleupon. Much like Blogger or Lifehacker, I believe Reddit and Stumbleupon work as platforms to improve on a personal project or circumstance. Or, in the case of me, money. CNN and Donald Trump are my heroes for making money. Just look at them

1. Basics of Business

Don't let anyone fuck you. This means teachers, parents, co-workers, etc. If you let them they'll do it now they'll do it the rest of your life. I'm a big admirer of American's standing up for themselves. We don't have enough brave american's. A good example I showed my mom earlier:
