This is part one of a two part series where I want to address some of the common issues that are faced by many Internet marketers. This article will focus on an obstacle I feel is stopping many people from getting started with Internet marketing. The second article will focus on proper business strategies for an online business.
I’m Dee Kumar and I’m a little different from other writers here. I come from both a small business and multibillion dollar background, so my articles always take the approaches of the giants and aim to give practical advice as to how their tactics can be implemented by entrepreneurs.
If you have been following any of my previous work … Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings once more fellow entrepreneur, this week I have something quite unique and extraordinary to share.

Have you ever asked yourself,
“Why haven’t I made it yet?”
If not, now is a good time to really look inside.
It was the year 2006, and I was a new immigrant in the U.S.A. I enrolled in a community college in my pursuit to earn a Bachelors degree. It was then that I stumbled upon a video … Read the rest of this entry »

Since the beginning of … Read the rest of this entry »
A common mistake that young entrepreneurs make is unwittingly starting highly cyclical and highly risky businesses, when it hasn’t been all that long since the Great Recession in the U.S. was declared over by the National Bureau of Economic Research in June 2009.
These cyclical, risky businesses operate on the premise that we are going to experience an economic … Read the rest of this entry »
