Start with what you know

What is that supposed to mean?

It is just my way of bringing to your attention, that there are a lot of skills needed to make money on the web. Don’t panic… there are many ways to acquire them.

One of the most fatal mistakes is to try to master all these skills all at once. None of these skills are hard to learn one at a time, if taken all together it can be quite frustrating.

It is the reason most people fail at Internet marketing and probably a lot of other things too.

The question is did they fail of just give up?
Is that the same thing? Let’s look at some of the internet requirements. Marketing Design Layout Copyrighting Search engine optimization Programming, HTML XML PHP etc Remember the skills are all needed…

but not by you In fact there are many very successful people making a ton of money that do not have half of these skills. Some people only have one or two of these skills and yet some of the most successful people have only one.

Let’s look at one of my hero’s, Joe Vitale, his big skill is copyrighting. Sure he’s learned a bit about programming and other stuff but he hires someone to do the non-copyrighting work.

The same is true for a lot of the super stars. I will be giving you specifics in other posts. If you’re just starting out there are a few good places that have automated most of the hard work.

This almost trivializes the process. I wish they had been around when I was starting. I don’t want to give you the wrong impression, while it is possible to learn all the skills you need with a minimum of expense, it is not practical as it will take years. Most of us learn the hard way, by failing.

I am trying to spare you the trauma of failing however I do not expect to be 100% successful. Even today I spend thousand of dollars each year buying new e-books and learning new tricks.

Remember the frustration factor. I believe it is important to start earning money ASAP. One of the best ways is to start with affiliate sales.

These people will help you succeed, they are like your partner, and they only make money only when you do. Look under “How to Affiliate Lessons” for these ideas. “

Cradle to Grave” is where you find complete systems to get you off to a good start. In addition there are some strategies that don’t even require a web site or much experience.

Keep in mind that you are not looking to make a killing on one transaction. (I had trouble with that)

You are looking for multiple streams of income. They will add up fast. Let’s say you discovered a plan that made you $1.00 a day, $30.00 a month. No big deal, right? Let’s say you were able to duplicate that by 30 times. That’s 30 times $30.00 which equals $900.00 a month.

Now let’s speculate that you get better at conversion and your $1.00 a day creeps up to $3.00 a day The best thing about that is you don’t have to worry about some one knocking you off.

Soon you will understand the importance of automation. Look for these ideas under “Finding Your Niche” For these ideas. Find your passion, something you love and it will be easier to succeed.
