How to start a successful internet business
Hi All,
I'm calling for helpful suggestions to the many here who have much valuable internet experience.
I want to start an internet business, but am not sure in which direction to devote my energies since I'm not as internet savvy as many of you here. I'm unsure what works and what doesn't, - money making wise. I've read all sorts of articles etc, but usually the author has a vested interest in the advice being offered, so it becomes quite difficult to rely on said advice.
So, are there people here who can offer some/any advice and tips on what works, what to stay away from, tips for success, tips to avoid failure. I'm not really into MLMs, but I did like the methodology behind 'affiliate marketing'. As yet I don't have a website, so I need to address that.
I am willing to study what's necessary, put in the necessary work, and start small with a view to growing over the years.
But how do people start these sorts of businesses?
I have had a proper business before for many years, but we sold it a couple of years ago to just get a change in direction. We put the money received into property investments, - which are still fine, but we feel we need to generate some cash for now and into the future. I'm 53 which probably means I'm not all that employable. Having said that, I'd rather have my own business anyway, and have the sky as the limit rather than the office ceiling.
Any and all tips and suggestions will be extremely gratefully received.
Thanks in anticipation
