Press Release Summary = What to beware of when getting into online business

Press Release Body = Are you trying to start an online business? Are you overwhelmed
with the many online business programs available or concerned that you\'ll lose money
by investing in them? While many offers sound too good to be true, there are some
very good ones available - but how can you be sure? Learning to read \'between the
lines\' will better prepare you for what\'s really involved.

Here are some common phrases used to promote online businesses and what they really
mean:

#1 - Simple & Easy

Simple and easy depends on who\'s speaking. A doctor may tell you it\'s only a \'simple
procedure\' but that doesn\'t mean that you should attempt it yourself.

Many online businesses ARE simple to operate. If you understand how it works you
will be amazed at the simplicity - but getting to that point will require time and
experience. You may just need to try a few to get a \'feel\' for the business before
deciding which one is easiest for you.

Those who have learned from experience can look back and see how simple it COULD
have been if they\'d known what to do all along. Finding a trustworthy guide can be a
great assistance to your business efforts.


#2 - Anyone Can Do This

Sorry - starting a business of any kind is stressful and requires a learning curve.
If you are attempting an online business out of desperation or the belief you will
make easy money you will face enormous obstacles. On the other hand, if you are
truly seeking a business you can learn, work at and make a living from, you will
find something online that fits your needs.

Studies of successful business people concur that those who make it have common
qualities of persistence, patience and desire. These qualities are essential when
trying to start an online business - do you have them?

#3 - Turnkey

The term \'turnkey\' use to mean that a business was set up and ready to go. You will
find the term in business classifieds where the new owner can just step in and start
running the business. Unfortunately some marketers use the term to suggest a
business is fully automated - that there is no work involved.

There is always work involved. If the business really is turnkey than you will begin
work right away because it has already been set to go. If you want an automated
business you will have to do the work to make it automated. Either way, nobody is
going to give you an automated, turnkey business that makes money - they had to do
the work, so why would they share it?

#4 - It Won\'t Cost Anything

You absolutely CAN set up an online business with no money, but be prepared that a
combination of no money and lack of experience will stifle your efforts immensely.

Most individuals who start or run a business with no money have learned how to make
use of the best free techniques through experience. They have paid their dues by
trying businesses that cost money. They have spent time in and around their industry
or market and they\'ve been able to see where they can cut costs.

If you are prepared to spend a LOT of time researching before starting your business
you may be one of the few who does it right the first time. For most people though,
expect to pay something towards your online business education before seeing results
- you just can\'t buy experience.

Online business obviously has its share of work involved, but finding the right one
has enormous payoffs many people are willing to sacrifice time and money to achieve.
Running your own business is satisfying and can give you more time to do what you
really want to do in life.

Creating a successful online business is within the grasp of nearly everyone who is
prepared to stick to it. Face the task of starting your business with realistic
expectations while continuing to dream big and you may just surprise yourself!
