Privatization is the shifting of government functions into the private sector. Privatization is also the transfer of public assets into private corporations. This started in 1980. Today there is evidence suggesting that privatization has led to systemic government shutdowns and other negative unintended consequences including serious damage to the industrial base, colleges, universities, air transportation, the FAA, and the citizens of the United States.

Setting Up A Business In Cherry Hill NJ

1. Register A Domain Name Go to networksolutions.com and use their tools to find a domain name. This will be the name that makes up your URL address, like www.mydomainname.com. Pay the $35 dollars. There are other services but then you need to research the issues associated with ownership of the name you just selected. There also may be technical issues. The networksolutions folks are the original entity that got the whole thing started. Just use them to register your domain. You will need to renew this name every year for $35. There are multi-year discounts.
2. Create A Business Entity Go to the Camden County office located in Echelon Mall or the Cherry Hill Municipal Building and tell them you are starting an Internet business selling technical services and retail items. You can use your domain name as your business. This is a suggested strategy for branding in the future if the business gets legs. Do not incorporate until you make your first few hundred dollars. Pay the $35 fee. Next go to the IRS office off Haddon Ave near the Courier Post and tell them you want a federal ID number. You also can do this by phone. Go to www.irs.gov and try to find a phone number. Also ask at the Camden County office for this phone number. When this is all done, NJ will send you a book where you need to show instate sales. Since your instate sales will probably be $0, you will just send in statements that are $0, but send them in anyway or you will be fined.
3. Find a Web Hosting Company You can keep it simple and go to oneworldhosting.com and pay the $17.50 per month or you can research the topic by entering some keywords like "web hosting". You can also visit earthlingsunited.com/webdev which has a tutorial on the whole subject of an e-commerce web site. Once you find your company, use e-mail and the toll free number to tell them your domain name and you want to get going. Also tell them you intend to use FTP to set up your web site.
4. Start Building Your Site As Soon As Possible Don't wait. Forget about the bells and whistles. Just start building it on your C drive today. It will take months for search engines to find your site. So, just create text based content. Lots of words about what you do and what you sell. Nouns, verbs, adjectives are what its about in terms of the search engines. Read the Cassbeth White Paper and go to searchenginewatch.com. Keep it simple. Use AOL press and photoed.exe to build your initial site of 1-3 pages. Keep using these two tools till you have 3 themes (folders) like sales, rentals, services where each theme (folder) has 5-10 pages. Once you do this then you will be ready for the next steps and you will be able to see the next steps.
5. Publish Your Site As Soon As Possible Even if you only have 1 page, transfer it to your server on the internet. Use FTP, the simple one on earthlingsunited.com/webdev. The password and user name to download any of the software is "webdev" and "webdev". Download AOL Press and FTP and use them because they provide you with visibility into how the internet works and you need that basic understanding to move forward. Fancy tools hide those facts and its a reason why many people toady fail to create any web sites while the early users included people who did not graduate high school. Bottom line is use these initial tools.
6. Join Amazon.com Associates Program Go to amazon.com and look for the associates program link at the bottom. Join as soon as you have anything up and running on the Internet. Look for products that fit your business and put them on your site. These will be your first sales and will probably pay for your ISP, web host, and domain registrations. You will also learn a great deal by joining and reading the information.
7. Incorporate When You Have A Valid Business Model When you start making money and you see the possibility that you can grow this into a fortune 500 company, then incorporate. Also, if you start to get some personal assets and there are liability issues, then incorporate. However, keep in mind that the web portal is just an advertising vehicle with no liability implications. So you can keep it separate from your other businesses, which may have liability issues.
8. Roll Your Own Associate Program If you are selling widgets, go to befree.com and cj.com. read their stuff and determine if you want to have your own associate program like amazon.com offered to your and your web place. Then only 100% internet people who succeeded on the internet are those who used the associate program model. View the video tape, its torture, but its worth it in the end.
9. Ebay Definitely establish an Ebay.com presence if you are a small shop or just starting out. Set up a Paypal.com account and make sure all your Ebay products include Paypal as a payment method. Its free and will double or triple your sales. Forget about the horror stories, business is part war and new successful businesses have many enemies. Paypal and Ebay along with Amazon are probably the most significant businesses to have surfaced in the past 100 years and they have the brain and financial trusts behind them to survive all the attacks. Just do it.
