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. ;)
5 out of 10, whew!
