Hello Warriors, looking for a career from home. Ideas needed.

Hi Roche, welcome to the best place in the world to ask your question.

"Information overload" is common for anyone new to the internet marketing world. I suggest that you get a notebook to keep track of the ideas that appeal to you, and where you found them.

Set yourself a time limit, maybe two weeks, to learn about everything. Use only free information during this time. Create a new email account and join every free mailing list, read every free offer, watch every free video, participate here.

Then pick whatever most appeals to you and focus 100% on that for 90 days. Whatever is your best idea you find by December 15, GO WITH IT and don't look back.

It should be something that makes sense to you, and you feel you could learn how to get good at it. Once you decide on your plan, if it's something that has worked for other people, don't discard it until you have really learned all about it.

Ask what is the best information in that area, buy it, and become a master of each technique before you look for anything more.

There are a hundred ways to make money if you follow through with persistence, and a hundred ways to distract your day away to nothing if you don't just pick one.

How do you want to be living your life?

What activities do you love?

What skills do you have that you enjoy using?

Don't make the mistake of creating a business that's all about the money - or you'll end up wishing you were doing something different.

Build your new business from the bottom up with the end in mind, so that when you get to your goal you like where you are.

In order to stop yourself from information overload syndrome, start dabbling and testing out things you learn. Make a site or blog or whatever you are learning about. Who cares if nobody comes and nobody buys or visits, but just taking these baby step actions will help keep your mind stimulated and force yourself to always take action. Once you train your body to do that, that will help tremendously from avoiding info overload

Ken, that is awesome, and thank you for providing the missing piece. Absolutely, the change from spectator to participant is the key. As you point out, if you make a blog and nobody reads it, at least you learn how to make a blog!

Haha, that's exactly how I started out, I made a blog and nobody read it, then I started thinking of how to get people to this lonely blog.
soon enough I found myself in forums such as this one and really mastering traffic techniques.
We all need to start somewhere right

Thank you for the suggestions. I will take notes and decide what I'm getting into and start slowly with dedication. Glad I found this forum where everyone is willing to help.

Regards,

Roche

Everything posted here is advice I'd have loved when I first started online. It would have saved me years and many thousands of dollars.

I'd like to add one more layer - from personal experience!

Just learn and do the next logical step. There is a sequence of steps to designing and starting a business online, and it works best if you do them in order. I spent way too many months learning everything I could about everything. I studied traffic generation techniques, copywriting, conversion tactics, outsourcing...

Then a mentor asked me if I had a blog or website up yet. Did I have a product to sell (to a hungry market).

Nope - I didn't!

I was too busy learning everything that I would need many steps down the business-building process to actually take those first actions and get something online.

The action-taking piece is critical - and then learn what you need for your next logical step, and implement that. Then the next step. Learn and do.

Best of fortune to you! You will find amazing support on this forum.
