Maybe it would be better if I showed you exactly where I am financially so that you may help me map a way forward:-
a ) 50k cash to start a biz
b ) 50k in stocks.
c ) An online store for selling educational material and stuff....although I invested nothing but time and brains...
d)A laptop and free internet within the school premises...i believe these are assets that can be used to make cash.
A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.

Since you seem like a nice fella I'm going to give you some free advice.

1. Never, ever tell people how much you earn online and then send them to the website where you earn whatever figure you quoted.

2. Don't offer services that you cannot do well. eg the web design services, plus on a KBO are a no no.

3. You are very far from making a decent income from just your laptop and internet connection. Please don't believe the hype. You will likely fall for a scam like tommorow morning.

4. I'll say this again to you. Since you are still in college, take this time to learn. If you are interested in making money from your laptop, then this is the time to learn, not invest your hard earned 50k. You have a lot to learn going by your website quality.

5. Business is simple. Find something that is profitable then scale it. You had your shickens. They made you money. That is what we call a sure thing. Stick to that and scale on it. Fire the bad employee and hire accordingly.

6. These assets you are talking about can make you learn to be the best telephone shickens farmer in the world. You really don't have to be an internet guru.

and good luck

alma I agree with you on that.

@S.Mutaga III - Do you have something else in mind that you are more passionate about and you want to pursue?

Wouldn't trust him to design a website for me going by his website quality.
If you think you can, and if you think you can't , either way, you are right!
