My on-line business began in 1995 with this question "How do I do business on World Wide Web?" ~ "You don't, you just use Web as a means to introduce your services and products by advertising" were responses I received.

So, how do I do business on Web? I build and develop on-line trusting relationships to give and get help.

First, with help of Mr. Bob Osgoodby board leader of now demised Prodigy's Your Business Bulletin Board, I was asked to archive my weekly "stress tips" and opened a web page. As my mentor, Bob helped me share my interest and passion. I was then able to help others to do same thing by producing and distributing e-newsletters, free reports and designing web sites.

In beginning, I received and answered questions and inquiries on stress, (with no money received). I introduced our services and products (with little to no money received). Signed up as an associate to many affiliate programs (with little money received). Joined discussion groups, and became a moderator on several boards. Advertised on other sites. Linked other web sites on our home page and was linked from other web sites.

Be sure to go to your e-mailbox every day and one day you will receive an announcement (as did I) that you have made a sale or that someone signed up as an associate.

I read, explore, visit and do this over and over again. As you can see, doing business on-line is not an overnight thing.

I receive dozens of business opportunities every day in my e-mailbox such as following offer:
