By my calculations, I've attempted - and eventually abandoned - 7 small businesses over the last 20 years.
While I'm not even close to giving up on my current dreams,
Hi, Laurie.
One 'Brick and Mortar' Restaurant between 1984 and 1994.
Sold it in 1n 1994 when our son was born. It was all good. The business was too dependent on my wife being actively involved. She ran F.O.H Operations and I ran B.O.H Operations.
Now with a new addition, the program had to change. I went back to cooking professionally for others, but never did it as an employee. Not the best move as far as 'pensions' are concerned, but I have always been a good planner.
Ended 'cooking' career in 2010 successfully and have moved into 'The Internet of Things.' This arena is a good place to be.
Probably not the answer you are looking for, but I hope it helps.
Kindest regards,
Paul.

How many small businesses did you attempt before success?

For me, all internet! I had a ton of success about 14 years ago with working online, programming, and creating html and PHP websites, and stopped to homeschool my kids, as I found I couldn't do both, so now I'm back in the saddle again, and slowly seeing some progress, and believe it or not, using some of my same methods from years ago with a different twist! I will be doing my first training on it for the community next month! :)

So far, I only have 9 posts and 11 pages on my site. Is it too soon to use the free advertising that both Google and Bing sent me?
Is this the $50 voucher? If you use that, please monitor it, because they do go on advertising after the voucher is done, and then you get a bill
$150 from Google and $100 from Bing. And I wondered about what happened after the free $$ was used up. Good to know.
Of course not.
You should use every resource you can and actually the sooner the better.
Go for it.

ps
Do you not already submit your URLs to Google and Bing?
If not you should be doing this with every post you publish.
I believe the xml sitemap is submitted after each new post or page. I think it is anyway ;) Is that ok?
Yes it is but no harm doing it manually for a quicker index.
This is what I do but its a personal choice.

How are your traffic stats showing up in Google Tools and other channels? The more the better!
I have very little traffic and I'm not certain that the traffic isn't mostly just me, I *think* I set up the ISP filter but I don't know if I did it right or not.
