MSc computer engineer starting with IM. How do I begin?
This is my first post and I want to tell you a little about myself. I am a MSc in computer science and live in Scandinavia. I have been working as a software engineer for a few years and now I would like to start my dream of being my own boss and working online like many of you guys.
My plan is to set around 10-15 hours every week aside for gardening my new hobby of Internet Marketing and how to make money online. As time passes by and I hopefully after a few years start make more money, then its time to cut down on my regular daytime job and mabye doing this for a living. If that fails atleast I hope to earn some extra pocket money and learn something about the workings of IM.
I will only begin by spending wery little money, like under $30 on tools, domains or such. I have a decent connection at home and a few spare computers that could host a domain when starting up.
I chose this buisiness because of a few reasons:
- The work can be done around the world, and I would love to travel and work from abroad on my terms.
- My speciality in school was programming automatic spiders and crawlers just like the 'SEnuke' program. Reverse engineering skills also come in handy.
What is a good long-term plan to get my hobby started? Any tips for getting a good base to stand on, like books to read or projects to get started?
My plan was to start slow and get some autoblogged sites or 1-page adword sites out there and use SEO services or tools to bump them up google.
