How Did I Get Started Online?

Written by Abel Cheng


In this article, I'm revealing my personal experience of how I started my online business and who influenced merepparttar most with regards to Internet business.

Unlike other articles on Internet business, I'm not going to talk about how to write HTML programming, how to design web pages, where to register domain names, and others. I'd focus more onrepparttar 118856 mentality and psychology ofrepparttar 118857 whole process.

Why?

Because without adequate mental preparation, there will be no results. You need internal motivation and desire to build anything including Internet business.

By doing so, my humble goal is to help those who still have doubts and hesitation to start Internet business to get started. The best time to start is NOW.

Years ago, while I was surfingrepparttar 118858 Internet looking for Internet business ideas, I accidentally stumbled upon Corey Rudl's web site. I was glued to his web site and I was so excited thatrepparttar 118859 web site is full of excellent tips on how you can make money online. No empty promises as other web sites offer.

That was simply one ofrepparttar 118860 best Internet marketing sites available as it attracted merepparttar 118861 most (it shows he's a marketing genius).

After thinking hard about it, I finally bought his book "The Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business On The Internet."

That's wasrepparttar 118862 first time I learn extensively about Internet business. From then on, there is no turning back. I kept on thinking about Internet business ideas anywhere, anytime: what I can do to make money online.

But like most people, I was just thinking and I procrastinated. Nothing materialized...

Only after two years I bought Corey's book, then only I seriously put my idea into action.

It took me almost a year to build a web site. From doing research to design, from development to content preparation. Luckily, I have partners who helped me to sharerepparttar 118863 workload.

Duringrepparttar 118864 process of building my web site, I subscribed to Ken Evoy's Affiliate Masters Course. It'srepparttar 118865 most comprehensive free course available.

It contained more than 300 pages. I took Ken's advice and this formedrepparttar 118866 thrust of my web site. I learn a lot from this course. And I really put his concepts into testing. I've to admit that this course worth more than just a free course.
