Do no under any circumstances assume this is a get rich quick business, it is not!
You will need determination backed up by probably hundreds of hours of unpaid work to make an impression.
Now don't get me wrong, I wish you well but if your going to do this, do it with your eyes open. This is a bad time to get into the business, so take small steps and don't invest what you cannot afford to lose if your sites don't make money.
Other than that sad but honest set of sentences, good luck and welcome to the board  |
I'm curious... I've read quite a few posts about "seasoned veterans" leaving the industry in droves, and having their worst years ever, etc.
How many of those seasoned veterans are using 3-5 year old marketing methods? How many of those seasoned veterans are trying to relive the glory days without having to face the reality of a changing internet?
Yes, the recession is causing a downturn in spending, but there are new markets, new methods, and new ways to be successful. (And I'm not just talking about tubes)
