My partner, Mike, has been really sick for a week now,

with a double ear infection on top of stomach disorders.

It really is worse than having a sick kid around, lol.

 

I have yet to manage to go see my oldest daughter,

my three year old grand daughter and now almost FOUR

month old new grand son. I am determined to do so

as soon as it is humanly possible but so far, even

a week after I got my beloved car back, it is not

in the works, blah!

How to Start a Legitimate Online Business

  (Even if you’re a newbie ... and kinda broke)

 

Sounds like a tall order: Start a legitimate online

business without being bankrolled or being an internet

marketing genius. But it’s actually not that big a stretch.

 

Of course, you could do it the hard way by spending

literally thousands of dollars to learn all the ins and

outs of internet marketing. There are even a few colleges

out there that offer degrees in internet marketing now.

Going that route could take you a couple of years to get

started (and I can’t even imagine what the tuition bill

would look like!).

 

There are also dozens and dozens of “internet business in a

box” kind of courses you could buy and take – and some of

them are good. Some are just created by people who’ve never

actually built an online business – their only experience

is in trying to teach you how! Their prices range from what

you could probably scoop out of your sofa cushions up to

tens of thousands of dollars.

 

But let’s say you’re starting from square one – you know

how to right-click, but that’s about it… and you’ve got

only a little bit of money to invest in your online

business education. How do you get started

 

There are three basic ways you can build a legitimate

online business – as an affiliate (selling other people’s

products), as an advertising site (selling space to

advertisers), and by selling your own products (either

information or physical products).

 

Each of these business models has its own advantages and

each one has a different learning curve. You could do any

of these three easily with some good, solid, step-by-step

training – even if you’re just starting out.

 

The important thing is to follow a proven system rather

than trying a little of this and a little of that. It’s

really easy to get sidetracked and fall into shiny object

syndrome where you end up spending a lot of time and money

trying every new “foolproof” internet marketing tool.

 

(Check out these case studies where we interviewed some

people who’ve had tremendous success by using the Nitro

Blueprint System… and notice how many of them got “stuck”

when they started chasing shiny objects – and “unstuck”

when they focused.)

http://www.nitroblueprint.com/moreinfo.html

 

Other than buying an internet marketing course, the next

expense most people will have is in buying and hosting a

domain, and building a site. There are ways to do that

inexpensively and still get great results. Also, you’ll

probably want to invest a little bit of money to generate

traffic to your website by using Pay Per Click ads.

 

You’ll want to learn how to create and manage your ads so

you get good results without letting your advertising

expenses get out of control. One other expense you’ll need

to plan for in the beginning is a list management service –

so when people visit your site and want more information

you’re able to stay in touch with them. There’s a wide

range of pricing for all of these.

 

The first step is educating yourself. Look for a proven

system you can follow from the start – and commit to taking

action on it every day so that you make progress. If you’ll

focus on building your online business, and you follow the

steps, you’ll start to see money coming in.

 

Once that happens, you can try fancy new tactics to grow

the business, and get more advanced training. It’s not

going to happen overnight – but no matter how little you

know now, you can build a thriving legitimate online

business more easily and less expensively than you’d

imagine.

 

In our Nitro Blueprint System, we show how anyone,

regardless of experience, can start an online business

doing what they love and be making a full-time income

within a couple of months. You can learn more at:

Hi Jan:

 

Great issue today. Can't wait to check out those blog forums.

 

I just sent out a couple of tweets for you--one for your eBay

store and one for your VA services. I find that Twitter is an

awesome tool for self-promotion.

 

Much success to you!
