How did you get started in internet business?

How did you get started in internet business? How did you establish the foundation needed to get on? Any experienced would be welcomed

I personally got started using 30 day challenge (made my first $10 in more than 30 days, but it was worth it), then got on a site full of resources for internet marketing.

Then I got into Clickbank affiliate and I'm starting to make a very good income of it. Found a good site about starting out with Clickbank (donno if I should post the link because it's a salesletter).

I started creating a site for adsense. After I realized there is money, I created bigger and more sites.

Still unsatisfied, I engaged to creating and selling my own products. It has great potential, but I have not hit a home run yet.

I won't quit until I get one.

A little over a year ago, a friend, who owns a local restaurant, was having a difficult time getting her web developer to make the changes she wanted on her site. (He had been hired by her former [male] partner and appeared to have a bit of a problem taking directions from a woman.) As of May 2007, the site still showed "Delivery -- Coming soon in April 2006". She never had any desire nor intention of doing delivery but her partner did and now, she just couldn't get the web developer to change the site.

After listening to her plight for a few days, I made her a challenge -- "If you can get me the user name and password for the site, I'll have that page nuked by the next morning." When she got me the information, I commandeered her site, changed the password, deleted the delivery page, and became her web guru. Doing that got me started into web development.

I have since taken over responsibility for her hosting account and have done several more sites for friends and local businesses. While I still have a long way to go, fortunately, I have a good background in programming so learning the basics of HTML, CSS, PHP, etcetera came pretty easily.

At uni, a guy in my class that was already doing it mentioned to me that's how he managed to have money all the time even though he was on Centrelink.

I did a bit of research, started selling subs to a music service online...
Sucked at it, majorly, so I started doing offline tactics that specifically targeted people at Uni. Some rather off the wall stuff, as well as the conventional.
Did ok for myself.

Well enough to be invited to be an AM at the network, as they were also based in Australia, but not so well as to be able to turn down reliable income

Cool man I try to do this. Set a challenging project and then everything I read about that can be put into action immediately, instead of not having clear goal and just reading internet marketing for...the sake of reading.

I dreamed raking dollar bills, when I woke Up, I decided to create a blog.

Simple many many moons ago, the guy who setup the company didn't like the price, or service and thought he could do a better job .

That's how he started

cool, different experienced shared here. Keep on the good work

The first step would be to register a domain and get a web hosting company.
Many are so cheap (5-10 dollars a month) that the investment is quite low.
Then create content that sells or sell a product.
The hard part will be getting the traffic and ranking high in the SERPs.
If you are willing to put in the 6 months-1 year of work then it will eventually kick off.

I'm really annoyed why the moderator removed <link removed> link from my main post. His reason was that was spam because you should enter your email and name to get access.

Well in fact you do need ACCOUNT there to get access. The guys there made over 50 videos and if I were in their place I would required people to get account to download so huge content, for free !

I wonder if this is the rule of the forum, is it also forbidden to link to forums who don't you let view NOTHING without first registering? And I haven't seen a rule like this one!

So it should apply to the Thirty Day Challenge site as well.

I got started by writing about my affliction of having a brain tumor and being homeless.

Hey, this made me curious, can you give more details?

I'm starting out with a membership site. I reckon a successful site with monthly consistent subscriptions is the ticket for me. I guess the big thing is creating relationships with customers and making them feel important rather than focusing on the $s. Create happy customers and the $$s will follow automatically. Thats the theory anyway. Once I have perfected the first site I have a lot of ideas for others. First things first though. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time :-)

I'll make sure to share my progress here so others can learn from any mistakes I make as well as successes :-). Action is the key. As Nike say....Just Do It!
