vending machines.

Start a vending machine business with just two or three machines. You will spend less to open a business and gain experience before expanding to bigger operation. Starting with just a few machines also means you need a smaller investment.

After you have gained more knowledge, you can buy more and widen your operations. It's better to start a vending machine business with the right know-how so you can avoid making costly mistakes.

To be equipped with the right info can spare you expensive mistakes. Aside from gaining experience and learning through your mistakes, you can do your own research to learn more about how to start a vending machine business the proper way. There are a lot of information on the net but most of them are not really substantial.

Ask for honest opinions about the vending industry through businessmen who used to own vending businesses. Get a mentor who is not trying to sell you something like machines or locations. It may be hard though to find an ex-vending business owner willing to give his knowledge for free. Most former vending operators become consultants after retiring from the business.

There are some vending operators who may tell you to start small and near. Venturing out to far locations may spread you too thin. If you have gained more experience maybe it will be safe to get vending locations a bit far from home. In the meantime keep the business close, you can have easy access to them.

Your target market and location are vital. Start a vending machine business in an ideal location with the right kind of traffic. If you're selling toys for kids, then you are better put your machines where kids are found like the pediatrician's clinic, park or a dentist's office.

You can reduce your rent by donating part of your revenues to a charitable organization. If you agree to donate part of your earnings to a cause, the organization will give you a sticker informing patrons that you will donate part of your earnings. Some landlords won't charge rent if you give to charity. You can help the less fortunate and save on rent too.

Start a vending machine business with a small capital. It is possible if you know where to find machines for rock bottom prices or search for your own location instead of hiring a professional locator. Vending locators won't always give you good locations.

Look for a good vending supplier who can give you cheap items. This will make your profit margin bigger. Get the right information from the right people who are not trying to rip you off. Many experienced vending operators are willing to give you some advice, all you have to do is find them.

Google looking to join the legions of SEO companies

It's been reported that Google is considering starting their own SEO company. This, if true, would be potentially massive news for the SEO industry.

Serena Shapero over at Newswire has stated that Google intend to get their SEO business off the ground by early May. Allegedly, Google's SEO team would consist of about 100 employees, clients could be charged up to $25,000 a month and Google will have a team of SEO robots* to deal with poor rankings.

Allegedly, Google will promise only ethical practices but how many giant corporations play nice? If Google does jump into the SEO pool they will have a monopoly of the SEO industry and it will be nowhere near as fun as the game.

Small SEO businesses will surely be put out of business and probably some medium sized ones too. Will the SEO companies just take their business to Yahoo and Bing? Unlikely, seeing as how popular Google is with the general public.

You can't handle the truth!

Okay, so enough of the scare mongering, is it likely to happen? SEO has been around for a while; if Google was going to do it surely it would have by now. Also, Google offers a lot of information to users so they can produce sites with high quality SEO, surely they wouldn't bother if they had ever considered becoming an .

Some highly regarded colleagues of mine (and one I'm indifferent to) offered their take on the report. "Where's the proof?" was retorted to the Newswire article. I've had a quick look on Google's blog and if they were going to start a business in early May wouldn't there be (at least) a bit of advertising? Another colleague said "this would just be like buying space in Adwords only you pay $25,000 for it instead of a few pounds per click".

So, will Google be starting an SEO company? Don't hold your breath (that's just good advice for most situations).

By the way, if you're interested, the state of Oregon is incorporating Google Apps into the education system.

*Quite probably not true.

The luxury villas in Samui are well decorated and usually constructed on the seashore to provide a lovely view of the sea. Few of them are equipped with private pools and gymnasiums.

Web design and development: graphics: web: templates

html templates.

HTML website templates will save you a huge amount of time and frustration provided, of course, that they are of the right quality.

HTML or Hypertext Mark-up Language, to give it it's full title, is the code used by the internet to generate web pages. That's something of an over simplification but is all any of us needs to know in order to make money online. It follows therefore that a website template needs to be HTML orientated.

Armed with your , and I'll explain later where to get a hold of more than 300, you now need the following to create and upload your site to an unsuspecting world.

A good quality, free, HTML editor website creation software to you and me. The only one I use is Kompozer. An equally good ftp ( file transfer protocol ) program to transfer your newly created website from your computer to your hosting company that will put it onto the web. Filezilla is a great tool and yes, it's also free. Apart from the speed element, using templates should make your site look instantly more professional. None of us, especially at the beginning of our online careers, wants to spend a lot of money getting someone to design and create our site. In addition while it is not a good idea to become obsessed with the technical aspects of making money online it is an advantage to have a good working knowledge of how to put together web pages.

It is a little like taking your car into the auto repair shop and being told that you have carburetor problems and not having any idea what the mechanic is talking about. A little knowledge regarding how a carburetor works could save you a lot of money.

HTML website templates are, therefore, a good half way house between doing everything yourself and handing the whole project over to someone else to do it all for you.

To summarize, therefore, you have the free tools that I have recommended and all that is left is to find a free first class, click by click, guide on how to use the software and put up your site in a day and, of course, the templates themselves.
