Considering Entering The Internet Market

If you are a Internet newbie, and you are considering entering the Internet market and do not know where to start or how long it will take before you make money, or do not have a lot to start with.
First, take a deep breath...
One thing you need to realise about starting a online business is it is not wise to do so when you are "up to your eyeballs in debt"or out of work with no backup finances.
If this is your case, I would suggest you focus your energies on clearing up your debt situation first, NOT on starting an online business.If you are in absolutely desperate straits do not attempt to start an online business opportunity in a last ditch effort to save your self from financial ruin.
If you have maxed out your credit cards, are about to lose your homes, are out of a job, etc. and somehow think that Internet marketing is going to be the magic potion that bails you out of your horrible situation be ware.
It is my opinion: it is just like any other business. Would you open up a restaurant or candy store in your current financial condition?
Does this make sense ?
Why would Internet marketing be any different?
While it is true that there is a lower cost to enter and launch your own business online -- after all,you could start with a $20/mo auto responder, a $25/mo website/ hosting and a $10 domain name -- you still have to have of time and energy to invest into launching ANY kind of Internet business.
A Internet business marketing plan will require you to summit your website to Google, Yahoo, MSN, and other websites so your site can be found. SEO marketing skills will be needed if your goal is free advertising, article submission, and press releases. These can be free or low cost ways to market your web site.
Website marketing is the one cost that will be required if you desire to see any type of fast return on your investment in a Internet business pay per click being a major one. Under stand what is being said pay per click you have to have a advertising budget for this.
If you are maxed to the gills right now, sorry to say,but this is NOT a good time in your life to start a new business.There have been those who have done it ,and been successful but they are by far the minority.
First things first.
Clean up the mess you are in (believe me, I have been there),THEN when the sky has cleared, look into launching your own online business IF you think you have something good to offer your marketplace then develope it , or join a proven online business, or a online marketing group with website development, and training.
It might be a site about your passion or info product about how to get out of debt,save your home and repair your credit.
If you are bored silly in a job that is going nowhere and has a boss who is a total jerk and you would like to strike out on your own, THEN you are in a much better position to think bout what kind of Internet business you would like to launch.
You do not need to be worried about food on your table or a roof over your head.
But the Internet is definitely one of the cheapest ways you can start your own business,and gain financial freedom.
