[aclug-L] Re: Need ideas for online business.

["james" <menoz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

what do you know how to do?
sometimes the things you are already doing 
can be a good idea 
things like your trade or skill or maybe just a hobby
but these types of online businesses dont become the next
ebay or msn or priceline ect.
but they do often make either a good additional income  
or sometime a replacement income without having to 
have 10,000 or more customers

start with something that you already know

as far as running your server thats good 
if your know how to keep it secure 
if this would be a learning thing for you
, you might consider having it partialy hosted 
by another service for the security
take your online order forms for example it might be good to let 
another services host those pages an handle transactions
until your sure about your server , meanwhile hosting your own webpages
would be completely safe
while you are developing your security and cgi programs
