The first step someone needs to take before jumping in the pool called the Internet is to check how well equipped they are to face up to a challenge. What knowledge of experience of life will help them with their endeavour. Do they have any knowledge of sales and marketing. Do they have technical computing skills. Have they a designer flair. Do they like writing or talking with people. These are just some of the many questions they should be asking themselves.

Do they have money both to live off and to invest in themselves and their new venture until such time that income starts to flow in. Whilst a conventional business might take 3-5 years to break even, working on the Internet has less overheads and could be making a return within its first year.

They will probably be working from your home and this can cause distractions if family members are around the house during your working day. Note I said "working day" because they need to become disciplined and set aside time when they are going to work. Some people like to set up an office in a room of their house or even use a garage or outhouse, so they go to work and when they are in their "office" they are not to be disturbed.

The next step is to start investigating avenues of interest and researching more into the nitty gritty as to exactly how they plan to make their first million.

Once your research is completed and you have decided exactly what it is that your business is about you can then start learning what you need to do to sell your idea or product to other people and this is where the real work starts and this will become a critical part of your business.

Now the average person is not a marketer and needs to learn the ropes and one of the best ways of learning is from people who are already good at it, because they can enhance your skill with their knowledge and experience. There are certain tools that a marketer uses usually a website displaying his products goods or services, together with a capture page to interest a potential customer enough so that they request more information and an autoresponder to send out information over a period of days which will lead to a sale.

Well that's the back end covered now for the front end you need to get people to your site and the best way to do this is to start writing a blog on a regular basis and distributing it across the Internet. this can be quite time consuming, but help is at hand from MarketHive.
