Take your time and explain so that those that read this will learn from you. Thank you
I started online in 2001 not knowing anything about running a business, in the brick and mortar world or online. I did however know how to write HTML and started my first website.
I didn't make any money. Not because I didn't know how to build web pages, it was because I didn't know anything about Internet marketing. The sad part was I thought I knew and that is where pride got in the way.
I spent almost two years fiddling around going nowhere.
I had tried to learn from a forum about Internet marketing but the people there were really intimidating and suggested it wasn't really for beginners. Well my feelings were hurt and I didn't go to anymore forums for a long time.
Well I finally go to a place where I could get help but shortly after I had my first heart attack and everything stopped. No pun intended, as my heart didn't stop. :)
There was no cure for what I have just lots of meds and walking. But over the past three years I have started to recover and have even started back with my websites and with my clients.
I am not at a full living yet, but I will be with in 2007 and there is no reason others can't get started also.
So let me know your story.

I have been researching ways to make money online as well. First started out only doing paid surveys and paid emails and earning about $40-$50 a month which was enough at first to keep this stay-at-home mom happy. Now I'm looking to finance a car, so I need to do better than that. A few months ago I started doing paid blogging and have been earning anywhere between $200 and $300 a month. Still not enough, but I figure if I can continue to find ways to make money on the internet it will eventually start adding up to be something. My ultimate goal is to earn $1000 a month. That would help with my car situation, including the insurance and gas and would leave enough for me to take the kids out during the day and do things together. Also would allow me to start saving for their college and our retirement! Something we haven't done yet.

One thing that is good to keep in mind is that you are one person and you only have so many hours in a day so you need something that pays big for those hours or you need others making money for you or you need many things running on autopilot.
Thanks for responding.
