So You've Decided to Start an Online Business

Many people ask: Can you start an online business to make money? A better question would be: Can you start an online business that will be profitable? Starting an online business requires patience, skill, knowledge, and belief in your ability to succeed.
Yes, it's easier and cheaper to start an online Internet business, than a brick and mortar business. Yes, your online business will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year (24×7x365). Yes, millions of people, around the world, will be able to access your web site. Yes, you can make a lot of money on the Internet.
Unfortunately, "If you build it, they will come" worked fine in the 1989 film "Field of Dreams", but it will not work on the Internet without effort and dedication.
Many people assume that it is too late to start an online business, that the Internet is too competitive, all the good products and services are taken, and the skills required to succeed are too difficult to learn. These assumptions are false. Learning how to start a profitable Internet Business doesn't have to be complicated. If you can use email and navigate the Internet you can learn basic Internet marketing skills, concepts and techniques.
