Hi,
This is the first time I've joined a marketing forum.I finally decided I need to talk and listen to people who have experience. I have wanted to build an online income for some years and have spent considerable time trying to learn the concepts involved. While I have learned quite a bit from hundreds of various sources I still have a lot to learn. Some things I believe to be true from what I've learned:
It is possible to make a living online.
It isn't quick or easy.You have to work long and hard and continue to learn and work.
Believe nothing online unless you check it out very well and then still be skeptical about it.
Never invest money in anything unless you are very sure of what you are doing and that you actually need it. Most information you want is free somewhere-but may take a while to find.
The things I still need to learn are mostly technical things. This is where I seem to be in the dark.
It seems to me that it would be smarter to own a domain name and pay for a website even starting out. So I bought 2 domain names from Godaddy and was searching for a good cheap webhost to start with but the info about these is so overwhelming and deceptive that I just can't decide who to go with.
My biggest problem in starting is the nuts and bolts of making a website, mostly because I'm a complete idiot when it comes to technical things such as putting links to affiliates and to my other pages or sites. Not that I haven't found sites that explain it;just that they don't explain it well enough for me. I have a long term plan for a central homepage connected to a number of sites that I want to create over time containing subjects that I have a personal interest in and some knowledge about. Right now I'm not working so I want to try see if I can get something off the ground.
Anyway, I'm hoping I can learn more here and mayb even help anyone who knows even less than I do.
