When we started we were thinking fast start-up would be 30 days or less, but there are several story’s where folks have started a business in less than 48 hours and have started making bank deposits. We have included step by step on how it’s done 28ideas.com.

Although not one of the criteria; inexpensive marketing ended up being one of the major factors in the speed of startup and the first cash flow. A Basic marketing plan is shown for each of these start-ups.

In almost all cases if the folk’s were working when they started the businesses here, they kept their jobs until the money was enough for them to quit the 9 to 5. It was surprising though how quickly people were able to reach that level.

The conclusion we reached is, that starting a business quickly really didn’t factor in whether or not it was successful, mater of fact we show a guide pretty much followed by each of these biz start’s, we have called it the quick start guide, go to www.28ideas.com.

Interesting site. I randomly clicked two items, "typing business" and "bed and breakfast."

I can see how a typing business would take no resources or money, but it would require extensive marketing to "get the word out" that the service exists. The B&B, on the other hand, takes a lot more than $500 and limited training.

In neither case would I be prepared to assume I`d start making bank deposits within 30 days. And I know how much real work would be required.

There`s an old maxim my father would use regularly. Back when the California Gold Rush was taking place, people from all over the country were flocking to California, buying up land or buying deeds, all with the expectation of striking it rich.

Only a very few people ever became wealthy by finding gold. The people who made tons of money were those who set up shops to sell the gold-diggers the shovels, picks, wagon wheels, flour, sugar, camping equipment, sewing kits, and so forth.

I think the site`s an excellent idea, and it sells information. I just have a bit of an argument on an ethical basis, with the implication that these businesses are such simple things to start. It comes down to parsing the word "start."

Will you use sophistry or semantics? Sophistry would prove that to "start" the business only requires a purchase of some teaching package. The business itself hasn`t started, but the "desire" to start the business has begun. Further sophistry would argue that without the desire, there can be no start or would be no start, therefore "desire = start." I disagree.
