Are you a netrepreneur?

This was inspired by Ben Yoskovitz of StartupSpark. Here are my top 10 checklist to see if you’re a netrepreneur.

  • You own a blog and a domain (not on BlogSpot or Wordpress.com). Though free is good, nothing beats a good impression that you are willing to invest in your own virtual/online image.
  • Your first online credit card purchase was your own domain and you now have close to half a dozen other domains. You also have a backup credit card, just in case the other one exceeds its limit.
  • You have at least two of these accounts — Paypal, Xoom, StormPay, Ikobo and eGold.
  • You’re not concerned to publish your complete name, address, phone number and email on your website as you know transparency is everything online.
  • You consult Google and read forums first before shooting an email to a friend asking for help. Yes, Google is your best friend.
  • You have more than one blog/websites, and they’re more or less niche blogs/sites. And you don’t go crazy with Blogger (see #1).
  • You know that there is more to online business other than the advertising model.
  • You have more connections in LinkedIn than in Friendster.
  • You’ve maxed out your Yahoo Messenger’s 300 contact list limit.
  • You’re not ashamed to tell your first client that your laptop IS your office.

If you scored at least 7 out of 10, you *might* be on your way to become a netrepreneur.

P.S.
Don’t take this too seriously. Just for fun. ;)

      Hmm.. i got 8 out of 10 but i think would consider myself a serial netrepreneur. Also, I may also add the following..
      -You sell stuff on Ebay, Amazon, Overstock or any online storefront.
      -You’re Skype is your 2nd phone
      -You have google checkout acct.
      -You park all your domain to check hits and earn few bucks
      -You let UPS,FedEx and Postal guys visit you at least once a week (for package pickup)

      hmmm.. 5.5;

      does that mean i am half an netpreneur?
      - do you have to have a minimum earning amount (say $100/year or whatever frequency)

      while we are at it, i only know of two Filipinos who are really into infopreneuring - Ian Del Carmen, and Joel Christopher. Di ko lang alam kung si Retz, Noel B and ItuloyAngIsulong SEO guys are also here. From what I read, this is a gold mine.

      lulubusin ko na: Sitesell - I’ve been hearing/reading a lot about this but I only know of one Filipino/Philippine-based siteseller, Dominic of Manila-travel.com… Anybody else?

      I wish I had more LinkedIn connections…. but too many Pinoy professionals/businessmen are on Friendster and not LinkedIn!
