Web Sites for Grown Ups
In today's world its the adults that seem to shoulder all the responsibility and provide our children with guidance and advice.
However, there comes a time when adults of all age need some time to relax and enjoy themselves. So hide the kids eyes, here is a simple business idea aimed squarely at the masses.
Just like the pioneering work of Ann Summers in de-sleezing porn and bringing the sex industry to the high street in an acceptable and fun format, now comes FAYE KLEIN (http://www.faye-klein.com/).
Its a replicatable website that allows anybody to own an exotic lingerie store. Thats right a web store, with no stock lines to buy, no unsold stock sitting in the warehouse, no wondering what the next fashion will be. Its all out of the box. AND ITS FREE!!
Its a take o
n the PARTY PLAN. The web master and supplier give you a series of web sites to promote a range of 10,000 lingerie items, complete with shopping cart facilities, secure payment systems and everything you could possibly want. They provide banner images, and customisable web sites that you can put your own logo and images on.
Takes about a day to get up and running, including all the customising. What more could any budding young or old(!) entreprenuer want.
The trick though is to drive traffic to the web site so it will start to sell products. So link to other web sites, get into directories, e-zines, newsgroups, use contacts and friends alike to get it promoted.
Their best affiliate is earning $50,000 per month!
Now that is not to say that just anyone can do this, but with effort and expertise people are earning good money on the web in the most unusual businesses and ways.

Where has Banking Support Gone To?
Post Sub Prime (see my blogs from JANUARY 2007) and Northern Rock in the UK, the banks have taken their bat and ball and gone home.
Whilst the Banks were happy enough to flog derivatives to make themselves billions, now that their errors of judgement have materialised, it's business that will pay the price. Banks are not lending, they want to reduce overdrafts and defer decisions concerning investment propositions.
All of a sudden they have become too risk adverse. But now they risk causing a severe recession, they have to lend to keep the economy on track. Without liquidity industry will suffer. The Banks should take their pain from the sub-prime debacle, but no, its us who will suffer.
A set of recent proposals sent to various banks have all met with a similar fate. The lending ratio is dropping to nearly 50/50, security needs are getting to a point where those with this much free assets would not need the facility anyway. And cases are being deferred for 6 months.
So what are we to make of this?
The recession is already here.

Internet Shopping
There is no denying that more and more people are using the internet to buy good and services. Both retail and whole sale transactions are occuring at a phenominal pace measured in £billions.
And is it any wonder, when a site can be set up for several £,000's tailor made to your business or concept. With strategic and well planned marketing and PR customer can be buying within days.
Just contrast the difficulties faced when opening a shop!!
It goes on and on, and thats before you sell a bean.
But apart form the loss of face to face contact, the web is a must-even if you already have a shop, business or idea to sell products, services and concepts.
Look at the following 3 examples
Shopping Web Site
Wholesale Specialist
Local Community Web Site (Not for Profit)
Notice the amount of actual material availabale to build-up that all important customer relationship, plus all the electronic tools to automate this process. These sites are full of news and articles, which can be submitted (after being moderated) by customers and suppliers alike, as well as the owners.
This is the future, be warned.
