So you wanna be an internet cowboy/cowgirl?Yahooooo! As I once heard a drunken wedding reception guest yell out when
boozing bride took a running leap onto
back of
bridegroom's Mother.
As
bridegroom's Mom hit
floor with her new daughter- in-law riding her, it didn't take a prophet to foretell that
Stuff was about to hit
fan.
Yahooooo! You're starting your Home Grown Internet Biz!
OK. Great. Super! I one hundred per cent endorse your decision.
Here's your first business assignment. Figure out if your Home Grown Internet Biz is going to be
bride or
bridegroom's Mom.
Because
Stuff is about to hit
fan!
Just like at
wedding reception,
internet is over loaded with wild-eyed experts. Every damn one of these experts are going to want to get into your action.
So prepare yourself. You're going to drenched with *expert* advice.
Some of
advice will be OK. Some will be good. And some will be very good. But
biggest part of
advice will waste your money and your time.
So how do you know when
advice is good, very good or stinkin? That, my friend is a very good question.
You're going to trust yourself. If your gut sends you a caution signal, listen up.
If your gut tells you this feels right, listen up. Do some more checking. If it still feels right and it feels like fun, not work, you're probably onto something.
You already know everything you need to know. Just trust yourself. If you can think it, you can do it. Really.
It's going to take you awhile to learn how to use
many electronic tools that make internet marketing so much easier than working offline.
