Dig deep into all areas dealing with creating and maintaining an ongoing business. Look into Web building, advertising and promotion. Be leery of concepts that are vague or unclear. Should you run into words "new business model," head for door as fast as you can!

Always remember that you don't want to re-invent wheel, you just want to have a very good understanding of how it works. You are not trying to break new ground but to understand well worn steps traveled by others before you.

Don't attach a personal judgment to some of sales literature since there is a reason for that weed to grow. Commercial copywriting should be a main subject of study, no matter what your personal viewpoint.

As time goes by, you'll begin to feel a new courage that is gained by convictions of your studies. As you read many of ads offered, you'll have a guiding principle in your mind and in your gut. No longer will you be like a leaf, blown about by a merciless wind! You have power of knowledge to guide you!

As you surf Web, make a list of sites that you like. I'm talking about particular sites associated with starting and building your Net business. You'll recognize them instantly because their writing will be clearheaded and to point. Their articles will be in favor of reader with very little heavy handed sales copy. When need arises, go there and drink deeply from well.

All above should contribute greatly to help you find your center; you won't be fumbling around in dark anymore. When you run into next me-too fad to hit web and it rears its ugly head to look at you, you'll know exactly what to do. It's a good thing and I welcome you to peace of mind of your new home.
