Here is the definition of  the term entrepreneurship..

Definitions of Entrepreneurship on the Web:

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENTREPRENEURSHIP 

So an entrepreneur is someone that has a burning desire to start a business and takes the actions necessary to start upon a new business venture. They are usually the heart and soul of that business and the success of that venture ultimately lies in the hand of the entrepreneur themselves.

If you have ever wanted to start a business, you probably caught the entrepreneurial spirit and wanted to take the risk of not having a job in order to create a whole new business.

Discussion

In the blogging community and especially in the “make money online” niche, a major problem has become finding credible people to whom to trust. Transparency has become a major factor in the way we blog and sell informational products.

How can we adopt some of the social entrepreneurs moralities in the way we do business. Comment below about how you feel about our niche as a whole. Many bloggers believe that pure “Direct Response Marketers” are giving the whole group a bad rep because of the continual wave of product launches being offered every week.

Many of those products are not living up to the hype but they are making the marketers wealthy. How do you feel about it?
