Maybe you are in the same boat as me. You work for a small company; you surf the net and your boss wants to make tons of money off of the internet but doen't even know how to work a mouse. Of course since the company you work for doesn't want to dump tens of thousands of dollars into the project; they drop the project into your hands.

What do you do now ? Do you want to just say no,it's too hard; I only play with computers. I don't do anything productive with them. OF COURSE NOT !

You take the project by the horns and make it yours! Evolve or parish !

Now what do you do? Most information about making money from the internet is geared towards making money selling you useless information.

First things first. Findout what your company can gain from having a site. You can't imagine how much money has been wasted building goaless sites.

Just remember, being their first doesn't mean success. Look at the company Iridium. Your customers have to know who you are are what you can do for them. The site is for them to use 24/7. Give them a reason to use it and they will be back. Having your customers come back is the key to success. Make your customers think of you not as the best choice,but as the only choice.
