'I want to try this whole Internet thing everyone is talking about. How do I get started ?' - I got asked this question by friends over and over again.
I have a ready answer so I thought I should put it down on paper.
- Read How I Made a Successful Website in only 4 months a booklet by Randy Brown. Easy to follow information, my all time favorite first read about starting with Internet marketing.
- Check out Thirty Day Challenge - Very informative, loaded with information, so be prepared to spend a lot of time there.
- Get into the right mindset. Read some good books about understanding money handling skills. 'Richest Man in Babylon' and 'Rich dad, poor dad' come to mind.
- Listen to this interview. It's between two successful Internet marketeers and helps understand the proper mindset. Disregard all other marketing talk and hype for now ;)
- And most important of all - Stop reading, start doing!

Vladimir,
Exactly right, getting out there and just doing is what is going to make things happen. I too have been guilty in the past of reading and reading and not doing anything. You just have to get out there and see what works for you. You may do forum marketing and it works for you but social does not. You can figure it out later. Just do it, like you say!
I read your article.The things you have written sound very sincere and nice topics i am looking forward to its continuation. Many of us don't know about this event. Your post is helpful.
Hi All,
Nice informative post.
One important is missing though. That is my opinion.
Namely, get connected to seasoned Internet Marketers. I started a year ago, and for 6 months I was just reading and reading, watching videos' and more of that stuff. But, as mentioned in the post, you really should get started by doing. Remember the Nike slogan (the best in my point of view): JUST DO IT!
So, just do it and get started by connecting to seasoned Internet Marketers. In the last 3 months I have learned a lot form them. My main network for Internet Marketing: http://bit.ly/9C7jbc. Have a look, you can join for free. And if you join, I will help you getting through it. Be aware of losing yourself in reading too much, listening too much, and watching too much what other (Millionaires) guys do. It is their objective to make a lot of money by selling courses, after courses, without telling you what you really should do. In other words, they will help you with the basics (that is if you buy their courses), but they will never show how to get the pot of gold. Likewise, telling you to go to the right, but not telling you where to stop.
Good luck to you all, and have a peep at: http://bit.ly/9C7jbc
very short yet informative post!...i love your last point. DOING is the last but not the least important thing to do!...thanks for sharing!
Very very good stuff you shared there, I like your last point. Stop reading and start doing. In the beginning, it was easy reading about other people's success story and you'd think it's easy to do what they do. In reality there's bumps and roadblocks you gotta face yourself. Outsourcing can be one way, but most can be learned fairly easy if you just dedicate some time.
It is also apparently the hardest step. It is funny to see so many that know everything about 'personal development' these days but haven't practiced any of the tips they have been reading :)
Vladimir, thanks for the sweet internal linking plugin first of all. And second, the best way to make money is by making mistakes! You just gotta do and see what you did wrong and then fix it. Don't pay attention to all the crazy SEO theories, some are true and most aren't.
top reading and start doing is the best one. If you have no money you can start with a free Blogger account to get your feet wet. As you begin to make money, invest back in your business first. Get a website and hosting account ($10 to $20/mo.). Many these days offer practically unlimited hosting packages. You can get domains for about $10/yr.
Rocky,
At least try to spin the comment instead of just copying them verbatim. My goodness.
