Choosing to go out for yourself is the best decision you will ever make. When you make that decision and focus on your goals the sky truly is the limit to your success. If this is your first time starting an online business everything you don't know now can be learned and in good time to. The only thing required is a strong burning desire to succeed, a computer and an Internet connection. Burn all bridges... A wise man once said that in order to succeed you must burn all bridges of retreat. What he means is that you can't have a back up plan for your goal to make money online. You can't say that if this doesn't work out I'll just go back to Mr.Wilson and beg for my job back, NO you have to commit 100% to your future success and burn all bridges behind you. Take out your notepad... The following things are all the important pieces to online marketing that you have to learn (I suggest reading about 5 different pieces from different people so you hear everyone's ideas on it). Pay-per Click Advertising - Think Google Adwords and Chitika. Squeeze pages - The pages you send people to to get there information or sell them something. Sales letter - Learning how to write a compelling sales letter can be used in selling stuff for yourself or being contracted to write sales letters for major companies where you earn based on how much they sell through either magazine or mail. Web design (Optional) - Learning the basic html codes for things like bold and hyperlinking images or text should be easy for you. However learning CSS coding is kind of difficult if your totally new to web design so I can only sort of recommend learning it, it is a costly thing to get people to build you a custom site based solely on your own vision. After learning these things you will be on your way to earning real commission checks online and on your own terms.About the Author:
