Have you ever thought of why every start-up (new) services or online business usually start with a stage called Beta. Every new businesses must start at this stage and it is the test or trial stage. 95% of most businesses on the internet are still on the beta stage meaning they are testing to really find a way to make it work, no business is truly stable until there is real test which can not be done in a factory sense. This brings us to toxic waste on the internet.

Lots of online businesses gives out tons of toxic wastes daily before really getting to the alpha stage (Stage of semi stability) and many online income seekers take these beta companies with all their hopes without really knowing they are also trying to learn out how things work. The real winner online is those venturing to build a business online and start also learning using the beta approach. The truth remain that the beta (test) stage cannot be removed from the development stage of every business. Consumers online must take hid to this and thread consciously.

Stay on top of the food chain
Those on top of the food chain are those providing goods and services on the internet. Little capitals are usually required to startup a business online and test if truly that your dream business can really succeed. With less than $300 seed capital, you can setup one and have a global reach and an ability to make millions of Naira with little overhead cost or you could just end up discovering that that your great business idea is not that great after all. The bottom line is still low risk. For the consumer the risk is higher and also the stake.


Trade with more easy funds
Trading with passive income generated from other internet businesses ease the tension and risk with which you trade on currency, stocks or commodity. Also a multiple income source is a booster to any trader. Stay focus and strategise. Acquire more knowledge, skills and wealth this period because the time to really invest against the future is now when things are already at their low except you expect the world to come to an hault.
