I am starting this thread because over the course of my years of trying to make alot of mony online. I have come across alot of experiences that I think will help people of all kinds. I have definitely learned that you don't need to reinvent the wheel, because what you are looking for is out there. Don't get me wrong here, if you feel that you can make a program/product better; then get out there and show 'em who's boss! When you need help, ask for it, yeah people will be haters or just mean will chastise you for it. Ignore them, imagine what they must have been like in elementary school, pretty bad huh? I use alot of tools that are relatively cheap or inexpensive. Go after them, then do your own DD (due diligence) Make friends, in other words network. It's crucial and I often feel bad for the people who tend to want to drive, maintain and oversee the ship. It's a big job ahead of you. Don't be afraid, network. Tell people who you are, you'll never believe what will become of that simple little performance. Write your success and failures down, because believe me when I say it'll be interesting to see your outline in the future. Its also fun to look back and see whats going on. RESEARCH!! It's crucial to any business! Whatever you do, DON'T GIVE UP! It's a tough path but if you stick to it, you'll reap the awards in the long run. Just keep your eye on the prize, whatever it may be for you! I'll have more ideas in the future but don't hestitate to add or give some input. I am sure there are some amazing ideas out there. To your success!! IB
