Useless Warrior "Sure, a newbie can get into the biz for pennies, but what does that mean? They have hosting and domain name. So what? The learning curve is a bitch and it is progressively becoming more difficult to function with newbie skills, or lack there of."
Greenguy "But, there's a lot of research that you need to do if you're going to get started today - you can't just throw money at a lot of the things that we do & see a profit."

I just looked I registered Tiajuanawhores.com June 6th 2003, that's the day I got into the Biz not knowing sqwat or where to get advice
I've made allot of mistakes (still make mistakes on a fairly consistant basis), been ripped off and pissed off several times and have learned a bunch
The learning curve in this biz is intense and you get conflicting advice everywhere you turn. I made the decision as a supper newbie to make GreenGuyandJim my one and only webmaster forum to cut down on bad advice and knowing that BullShit is called when bad advice is given (guess you could say I'm a product of GreenGuyandJim and On The Bench with MML) it was close to a year before I joined any other boards.
A quality forum is a must for anyone in the biz I use the search functions allot and the advice is priceless the problem as a newbie is you need to know what questions to ask (learning the vocabulary and terms is worse than memorizing the human anatomy)
I'm 50 years old and am amazed that I jumped into this biz with zero research and zero business plan (sound familiar)
That's why I'm so excited about the new product I'm promoting it cuts the learning curve way down and get's the newbies started off right with a game plan
