Secret Cash Recipes

So you’ve decided to start your first online venture…  Do you want to good news or the bad news?  Okay, here we go:  The bad news is that you have a great deal to learn.  The good news is that it’s fun and that much of the basic information can be found inexpensively or even free.  The bad news is that you can’t trust everything that you find on the Internet and that there are some unscrupulous folks out there.  The best news is that you’ll be able to distinguish the valuable from the worthless sooner than you now think you will be able.

One of the best ways to start your exciting education if to locate free course with the essentials of starting online.    As long as you are diligent in following the lessons and applying what you learn as you go, you will start to be able to distinguish the quality of the offers you encounter and the credibility of the sources.

You’ll find that you have a lot to do, although some of the unscrupulous marketers will try to trick you into believing that if you follow their plans, you won’t have to work very hard at all, and everyone will magically start to send you money.  You must manage your time carefully, and don’t forget about life’s priorities along the way (like family, your ethical standards and enjoying what you do).

Browse related topics (those you learned about in your short, hopefully free, course) on article directories, like A1Articles.com or EzineArticles.com.  Consult blogs that you deem to be trustworthy.  Locate sources for information concerning topics such as your business niche selection, search engine optimization, design of business sites and other such related topics.

Don’t rush out to buy anything, yet.  Your next step is to sit down with pen, paper and a copy of your budget.  From the list of things that you don’t yet know how to do, decide what you find interesting and and what sounds so boring that you would rather outsource the tasks.  I promise you that you can learn to do anything on your list; none of it is all that difficult.  Simply decide whether you want to invest your available funds in learning resources or in labor to actually perform each task.

Now it’s time to spend money.  Fight any urge you have to immediately buy an amazing sounding product, whether it’s a course or a remarkable piece of software.  Instead of following your impulse to buy now, do these:  1) Add the web page to your favorites list so that you know you can find your way back to it later.  2) Put on a pair of “critic’s glasses.”  Analyze the structure of the sales page that you found so convincing.  At some point in the not too distant future, you want to become a copywriter as skilled as the one that had you reaching for your wallet.  Then, find a lot more products in the same category, so that you can later compare the alternatives.

I force myself to abide by a three day cooling off period before buying an informational product or new software.  If I still think that I have found the best solution for my needs after that three day period, I use the bookmark to find the right page, buy the product and get to work absorbing the material.

The most important part is this:  Implement what you have learned!  Your new knowledge does you no good unless you act upon it.
