Business brokers (bisnis internet) are the matchmakers of the business world bringing together buyers and sellers of small and mid-sized companies. "The majority of business brokerage firms handle the sale of everything from the corner dry cleaner to the local quick print to the local liquor store – and every thing in between." says Tom West, founder and former president of The International Business Brokers Association (IBBA).IBBA estimates there are approximately 3500 business brokerage firms in America with surveys indicating that 35 percent are sole practitioners.
The field of business brokerage continues to match buyers and sellers each year. Sunbelt Business Advisors began franchising in 1993. Since 2000 the company has grown from 232 franchises throughout the United States and internationally to over 397 in 2004. VR Business Brokers of Ft. Lauderdale have also experienced rapid growth, adding 72 franchisees over 5 years.According to Mr. West, earnings in the business broker field are "well above average and a six figure income is certainly attainable for many. Commissions range from 10 to 12 percent of the purchase price with firms charging a minimum fee of at least $10,000 to $15,000, for smaller businesses. The average price of a business that sells today goes for about $250,000 not including inventory or real estate."
Driving Force: Corporate downsizing and aging baby boomers wanting to cash out of their business for retirement provides optimism for the business broker industry.Risks: Turning potential buyers into real buyers is the challenge of the business. Much like the real estate business, brokers need people skills and the ability to overcome rejection to be successful says Tom West.Small Business Opportunity: Garage Organizer Services the Last FrontierThroughout homes in North America, the impact of the home improvement boom has covered every square foot of the house except the most neglected and cluttered space, the garage. While large companies like Whirlpool Corporation have entered the high-end do-it-yourself garage organization market with its Gladiator™ GarageWorks line, the market is open for companies providing complete service including installation.GarageTek is the industry pioneer with over 67 franchises in the business since 2000. GarageTek uses patented PVC wall panels providing durability and flexibility in design. With garage organizer installations costing from $1000 to $10,000, the primary market is upscale. Targeting the garage organization market means catering to the affluent male market.Driving Force: According to Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, the Remodeling Activity Indicator (RAI) saw homeowner improvement expenditures increasing again to an estimated $129.3 billion dollars on home improvements and repairs. Driven by low interest rates and a solid housing market, home improvements continue to grow, making the new home improvement category of garage organization poised for more growth.Risks: This business opportunity is driven by the booming real estate market and the low-interest rate environment. Can this housing boom continue? "Increasingly Americans view houses not primarily as places to live but as foolproof, can't-lose investments. The passionate faith that money poured into real estate will magically multiply is creating a self-fulfilling speculative frenzy that's bound to end badly," says Shawn Tully in Fortune magazine's feature "Is the Housing Boom Over?" Whether or not the boom is a bust, any smart business owner will run some worst-case scenarios to have a contingency plan in place.

Search engine optimization
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results, or the higher it "ranks," the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.
As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work and what people search for. Optimizing a website primarily involves editing its content and HTML coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Sometimes a site's structure (the relationships between its content) must be altered too. Because of this it is, from a client's perspective, always better to incorporate Search Engine Optimization when a website is being developed than to try and retroactively apply it.
The acronym "SEO" can also refer to "search engine optimizers," a term adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Search engine optimizers may offer SEO as a stand-alone service or as a part of a broader marketing campaign. Because effective SEO may require changes to the HTML source code of a site, SEO tactics may be incorporated into web site development and design. The term "search engine friendly" may be used to describe web site designs, menus, content management systems and shopping carts that are easy to optimize.
Another class of techniques, known as black hat SEO or Spamdexing, use methods such as link farms and keyword stuffing that degrade both the relevance of search results and the user-experience of search engines. Search engines look for sites that employ these techniques in order to remove them from their indices.

Plan to happy grand father
Salam Bahagia,
Hari ini saya hendak mengajak saudara/saudari sekalian untuk
membayangkan bagaimana kita semua akan menjalani
hari-hari di masa pensiun nanti.
Bagaimana bentuk rumah tinggal kita di
masa tua nanti? Apakah cukup rumah sederhana di lingkungan
perdesaan yang jauh dari polusi kota? Atau menginginkan
rumah yang besar yang bisa menampung anak dan cucu dan
berlokasi di dekat sanak keluarga?
Bagaimana gaya hidup yang kita inginkan?
Apakah kita ingin menghabiskan waktu untuk
hobi seperti memancing, berkebun, golf, dan lain-lain?
Atau lebih suka berjalan-jalan ke luar negeri?
Atau lebih menghabiskan waktu bersama
keluarga, ingin bermain bersama cucu-cucu yang masih
kecil?
Bagaimanapun juga kehidupan yang kita inginkan
tentunya akan jauh lebih baik bila kita mandiri
secara finansial. Artinya, memiliki uang
yang cukup untuk membiayai kehidupan sendiri, tidak bergantung
kepada anak, ataupun pihak-pihak lain.
Darimanakah penghasilan yang dapat kita gunakan
untuk membiayai kehidupan yang kita inginkan
di hari tua nanti? Dengan asumsi kita sudah
tidak bekerja lagi, maka sudah tidak ada penghasilan
dari gaji lagi.
Satu-satunya yang dapat diandalkan nantinya
adalah tabungan hari tua. Tabungan yang
kita sisihkan setiap bulannya di masa muda,
yang tujuannya adalah untuk dipergunakan di masa
pensiun nanti.
Untuk itu kita memerlukan rencana keuangan.
Rencana keuangan untuk hari tua. Di dalam rencana ini,
kita menghitung berapa biaya yang akan dibutuhkan
untuk kehidupan di hari tua nanti, dan dikalikan dengan
faktor inflasi. Setelah itu memilih produk
investasi apa yang sesuai dengan kepribadian.
Dengan perkiraan besarnya return dari investasi tersebut.
Regards
