    Making money online used to pretty much require you to have your own Web site, products to sell, and some marketing savvy. But a whole new generation of dot-coms have arisen that will pay you for what you know (and who you know) without you having to be a web designer or a marketing genius.

    Breakeven Analysis
    If you can accurately forecast your costs and sales, conducting a breakeven analysis is a matter of simple math.

This calculation is critical for any business owner, because the breakeven point is the lower limit of profit when determining margins.
    Amazon Affiliate Site
    You've probably heard before a bunch of hype about how much money you can make with affiliate programs.

Well, here's the hype-free way to really make money with an Amazon.com affiliate site. And it'll only take a day to make the site. The secret? Read on.
    Doing Business As (DBA)
    A fictitious business name, assumed name, or DBA (short for "doing business as"), gives entrepreneurs the ability to brand their businesses effectively with minimal cost. It allows sole proprietors to use a business name rather than their personal name. It also lets a single legal entity (corporation, LLC, etc.) operate multiple businesses without creating a new legal entity for each business. Learn the whys and hows of getting an assumed name.
    Set Up an LLC
    The Limited Liability Company, or LLC, has in recent years become the most popular legal structure for small businesses wishing to incorporate. The exact requirements vary slightly from state to state, but setting up an LLC is a relatively simple process that can usually be done in an hour or less.

    Passive Income
    Do you want to continue working 50, 70, 100 hours a week the rest of your life? Good! Neither do I. Do you want to be able to take time off whenever you want to, without worrying about what's going to happen to your business? So do I!
