    Well. I am just doing bookmarking service and helping others. From all these things i have done. I only gain $50.00.

    So my question is, where should I start? Should I keep doing bookmarking service? I am sorta a newbie on websites and others stuff, but I am willing to learn all these things!

    So I just need advice on what i should do?

    Thank you

    How many hours did it take you to make $50? Lets hope it's above minimum wage ;)

    What I would do is stop spending your time working for little cash. Go to tutorial sites and pick up a skill: website/graphics/SEO etc. And then offer these higher quality services with a much higher pay. Your time invested in learning will pay off more in the end.

    Well. I got $50 in about 2 weeks. That's pretty bad.
    One newbie question: what is SEO?

    for websites, what kind of skills should I learn about? I mean to create a website, I need money too right? because right now, I don't have alot of money.

    SEO stands for "search engine optimization"
    to create websites, you don´t need a lot of money.
    You need to pick up a subject (have an idea), research it, and then you can do it with free scripts like wordpress
    http://wordpress.org/ lots of themes to use, for free.

    for forums you can use phpBB
    http://www.phpbb.com/

    but i think you should have a resseller hosting account, a cheap one like 5$/mo; that cames with all the features like cpanel, fantastico(very useful to install scripts).

    I´m a newbie to, so i sincerelly wish you good luck and maybe some other member can help you further.

    1. Get a job. If you have one, skip this step.

    2. Spend your free time reading forums like this one and learning general business information.

    3. Start developing a business on the side and see how you do.
