Default Help & Ideas please

Hi all,,

My question is, how can I make an online business (I have zero experience in having my own business) in helping people quit smoking?

I have 10 years experience of helping people quit the dreaded weed working for the NHS in the UK. I held groups sessions , one to one sessions and telephone support sessions. I delivered training in smoking cessation to other health professionals, GP`s, pharmacists and nurses etc.

I actullay loved this job and have a real passion in it, plus my complimentary Health background and positive thinking skills complimented this service with the pharmaceutical aids such as NRT patches and the such.

I think there is a gap in the market for online support & advice and could see how pharmaceutical companies could jump on board too somehow.

Anyhow and advice from you all would be greatly appreciated to get me motivated to get this going, even a person with the know how to join me in this new venture would be lovely

See my webpage of website tools that I use for my own websites. They might help you at least start your research on what kind of things you need to get this project off the ground.

Good luck with this.

You say that you don't have any experience in running a business.

Why not go with SBI! (Site Build It!) then?

I believe SBI! is very good for people who have no experience or knowledge on online businesses. The main reason why I think so is that they have an Action Guide that basically explains you the basics you need to know about online business and takes you step by step through getting your website up and running. I'd say it's extremely good for people who are new in the world of online business, because having an Action Guide will save you loads of time and cut your learning curve dramatically

Steve wrote a review for SBI! on his site, you can read it here to get the clearer idea:

Just to let you know where I am up to with my idea,, absolutely nowhere! I am procrastinating and waiting for a miracle of it being all set up and I can have the nice job of just actually replying and helping people to quit smoking. So at the moment its all pie in the sky sadly. I do really want to do it but feel scared and apprehensive as I have no clue how to get this up and running, Im rubbish with computer stuff. Sorry for the doom and gloom guys, I need a kick up the backside haha
