Starting At Ground Zero

Beginner's Guide To A New Internet Business

Getting Started at Ground Zero:

Below is a list of the things you must do, things that you must have and things that are nice to have. These are my opinions only but my experience has taught me that these are all important. The list is somewhat random, they are not in any order of importance;

1.    A Computer - this is obvious, a PC is fine but I prefer my laptop for convenience and comfort ... a must have.

2.    A Plan - more about this later - this will develop, change and crystallize as you learn and grow into your
       business ... a must have.

3.    Education - and I'm not speaking of formal education here, but, an education on the workings of an Internet
       business. This is the most important tool of all, if you don't know what to do with all the other tools, then your
   lost, confused and will eventually give up ... an absolute must have. Don't worry it's not a PHD level of difficulty,
   it's simple but you have to know what to do, what to use and how to use it to be successful. For more
       information on education click on the "Learning Tools" tab at the top of this page.

4.    A Website - this can be free or a paid site - this is your "presence" on the web, without it
       you have no business, no presence and no reason to read further ... a must have.

5.    Web Hosting - this is the vehicle to your place on the Internet, you can have a website but without
       hosting it is just a file on your hard drive and nowhere else ... a must have.

6.    Create a ClickBank and PayPal account - it's free ... a must have.

7.    A Product or Service - what you plan to sell or market ... a must have (again a no brainer:).

8.    A Stat Counter on your site - it's free ... a must have.

9.    Create a Blog - use this in concert with your website - it's free ... a must have.

10.  "Articles" articles publishing account  ("Ezine" or similar, there are many)- usually free ... a must have.

11   A Google Adsense account - it's free ... a must have.
