So You Want to Start an Internet Business …

If you are trying to get into internet marketing to start an online business, think you want to be an entrepreneur, or have bought into the "internet lifestyle",

if you have a trunk full of training products you bought that promised you would make money in 3 hours, 30 days, or 6 weeks, maybe like me you need to STOP, back up and start at the beginning again.

The First KEY Question

Cory Miller (co-founder of iThemes) lays it on the line by asking the key question that we really must answer first. I'm going to have to re-think this myself. I hope you find it helpful too.

"First Key Question:

Why do you want to start a business?
Think about that for a moment. Start writing down what comes to mind. What are your motivations and reasons for wanting to start a business.

Do you want to:

     Get rich quick?
     Live the good life?
     To be your own boss and work whenever you want
     To travel
     To be adored by millions?
     To be the next Steve Jobs or Richard Branson, or Facebook or Google

Unfortunately, I have bad news for you if you answer this first key question with those reasons above."

Sound Familiar?

Does that list of reasons sound very familiar to those of us who have been wallowing in internet marketer hype for a couple of years now?

If you thought it was going to be easy because that's what they told us, maybe they lied to us in their own effort to accomplish those reasons. After you and I answer the first key question, then we can decide if internet marketing is really the right business for us – and go from there.

You KNOW you need a quality website to succeed in your online business, BUT …

Do you want to design and build your own websites? Can you write your own HTML code? Would you rather drag-and-drop to a template to build your website? Or, does all of that scare the bejabbers out of you and you just want to see how website building software works?

Confession: I use Dreamweaver 8 because I can write HTML and CSS (both at the level of an intermediate beginner). You can get Dreamweaver at Amazon from $329 and up. But now I’m thinking about getting XSitePro 2 because: a) it looks easier to use than Dreamweaver, b) it has more internet business functionality than Dreamweaver, and c) it’s on offer for $197.
