1) Attend the Radio show so people here will get used to seeing you around
2) Attend On the Bench to learn how to do things and ask questions in a learning environment
3) Attend the SE chat with Bill to learn how to make the your sites optimized for best possible search terms
4) Build, submit, tweak, forget, go back in 3 months tweak again. (by tweak see where your traffic is from, what key words have lead searchers to your site and make sure you have picked the correct sponsor for your traffic--which you'll learn if you do 1,2 & 3)
5) In mainstream business it take 3-5 years to make a profit if you survive the first 2 years. On the web, time moves much faster so you need to check your results after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months..
6) Do not check your sales every day.. 1 or 2 times a week is enough.. file that under the "watched pot never boils"
7) Promote a site, niche, platform you are familiar and comfortable with. if you don't know anything about trannys, or fat girls, or balloons, then don't promote them until you find out. That doesn't mean you have to "love" it ..it just means you have to educate yourself.
8) Lots of wm on boards inflate how much money they make or how many sales they make etc etc.. whatever they say, divide it by 1/2. Those who really make money will never tell or brag.
9) Approach this like a brick and mortar business. If you work from home, then set yourself a schedule for tasks. 1 hour to do xxxx then break and do something else, but don't be distracted (like me) by spending hours reading boards and 'goofing off' make sure, if you wnat to do this full time, that you devote at least 40 hours per week working in your business rather than on it.
