    Hey,

    Welcome to the forum!

    Maybe you can start by telling us a little bit more about yourself, such as things you like and things you know.

    It's much easier to start with/in what you know than going random.

    Cheers
    Dan

    Becoming an entrepreneur is not a walk in the park but doable if ready to weather the storm cause there are lots of hurdles that you have to cross.

    Firstly you need to decide on the niche you want to go into, research your market thoroughly to see if its profitable, build a funnel around it and make your presence known to your target audience.

    Hope that helps

        Beware your inbox will be soon full of spammers offering you a lot of offers to make you rich overnight .

        Even if you are starting from scratch you should know 3 rules

        (1)This is a business ,so you must be ready to invest your time,effort and money.There is no easy money

        (2) Find a good coach or mentor to save your time and invest in right direction

        (3) Make your goals and stick to them

    How would you like to help people out (in the world)? Do you have any skills and talents? Or what subject interests you that you would like to learn about?

    I think you need to make this kind of decision before you decide on a business model and plan.

        What is your favorite thing to do in life?

        Or what is a problem you see happening in your life and in the life of others that you would love to help solve?

        In my opinion, it is important that money is not your main goal because that doesn't tell you what to do. You can make money doing almost anything.

        But if you choose what you like or care about first, then you can create something based on that, that will make money.

        There is not just one way to do online business. There are many ways.

        What is your favorite thing to do or have?

          If I say I wasted all my time sitting infront of Television, now I am thinking to do something. I don't know what I wanted to do, What I am good at....If you were at my place what would you have done. I know that I am a hardcase but I am ready to work for it.

            Weeellll, my dear . . . what if you created a business around your passion or knowledge for television? Is there a certain kind of show or subject that you watch? I actually have this idea too, I like TV and I am not planning on doing anything in the immediate future, but every once in a while I think it might be a good idea to build something around tv and movies.

            What do you think?

            In any case, once you get your subject idea (which might be something specific about television?), then you need to choose a business model for your first business.

            Here are some online business models that I know about. Others smarter than me can add some more ideas. You can combine more than one thing, but it's best to start by choose what would be BEST for you as your main pursuit.

            Idea one: List building--are you willing to communicate with people through email?

            Idea two: Blog--are you willing to write or do video on a website? this could include news (like news about tv shoes)

            Idea two B: have a website about resources and ideas and information about your subject

            Idea three: Store--are you willing to create a store of products (not your own)?

            Idea four: Craft--are you willing to create your own product?

            Idea five: Coaching or message--are you willing to help people with classes or ideas or one on one?

            Idea six: Are you willing to represent one or a few products and get really good at promoting them for the benefit of the product creators and the people that buy them?

            Idea seven: Classes--are you willing to create classes?

            Idea eight: your own show? (tv youtube podcast)

            Idea nine: write ebooks?

            Idea ten: would you be willing to learn a skill? so you can freelance it (or teach it)?

            So which of these ideas sounds the best to you? I know you don't have knowledge of them yet, but just if you had to pick one, what sounds like you might enjoy the actual learning and work for it?

            Repeat: you probably won't do just one of these, but a combination, but it's important to know your MAIN foundation.

            Others are welcome to add other ideas, those are the ones I could come up with.

    Just like the parable of the old mule, "every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back...HE SHOULD SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP! This he did, blow after blow..." In a business point of view, start from the basic, give some actions, put targets on, step up and do these over and over again until you snowball your accomplishments and reach your ultimate target.

    hey,

    Since you have an entrepreneur mindset now, you should think it as an entrepreneur. Decide how much time and money you will invest in. Create a simple business plan and treat it as a real plan.

    If you are looking for making money online, I would recommend you to start from the very beginning and to learn basic Internet necessities first, if you are not familiar.

    I hope this helps,

    Koksal Atik.

      Here's a starting place.

      Let these 10 timeless business concepts sink deep into your mind and soul:

      1. You have to actually sell something in order to make money online. Lurking at forums won't do it.

      2. Take total responsibility for your own success or failure.

      3. Every business, every market, every niche, every audience is different. What others do in their own business is no predictor or indicator of what you can or will do in your business.

      4. Methods, markets, products, consumer preferences and times change. Pay attention to the changes in your own business environment.

      5. Every business faces major obstacles. Successful business owners figure out how to get around each one.

      6. In many ways, YOU are the business. Especially in solo online business, your voice, your personality, your temperament, your consistency, and your persistence will be a huge factor in your success.

      7. Treat your prospects and customers the way you would want to be treated (variation on the Gold Rule).

      8. Testing, tracking, and modifying is the best way to determine how to grow and increase your business. Guesses, hunches, and spectator advice are for fools.

      9. Let your business experience be a wonderful journey. Never think of it as the destination. Chasing and finally obtaining a set amount of money will never be satisfying. Take pleasure in the ride.

      10. Life is a juggling act which includes family, friends, health, religion, education, recreation, service to others, and similar priorities. Your business is no more important than any of the other pursuits you juggle.

      The best to all of you,

      Steve

    You will have to stay focused on one particular method to make decent money from it and then move on to another one.

    That's why it is said that you have to master one skill first and then move on to another.

    Building a successful business will require good amount of action and willingess

    Thanks

    It took me a long time to get started. I bought a lot of programs and after I read them I didn't know were to start. I saw a thread in the War Room about a coach that would help me. It was the best thing I did because he got me started on the right path. Get yourself a coach in the field you want to make money in.
