Using Your Nest Egg to Start a Small Business

pay per result

It seems that recession results in proliferation of cost-per-performance services which minimize marketing costs and risks for businesses. For instance, nationwide publicity can be obtained on pay-for-results-only terms from (Publicity Guaranteed) PublicityGuaranteed.com, online advertising can be obtained on pay-per-visitor terms from Google and Yahoo, cable TV offers revenue-sharing deals for infomercials and many services can be obtained for stock via Services4Stock.com. Does anybody know companies which offer advertising in print media on similar terms?

Yes

Absolutely, it's an investment in the future- as many start-ups fail, so does the market. I'd have more control over my small business venture.

my future with my own money

Yes I would. I would rather be in control of my own destiny. Everything has risk, Investors in Enron thought they were safe. An investment in myself with IRA money, is smart. Use money that hasn't been taxed instead of the money that has.

Take a look at this website, Iravestor, http://www.iravestor.org to get you started.
