How to Start Your Home Grown Internet Biz
So you wanna be an internet cowboy/cowgirl?
Yahooooo! As I once heard a drunken wedding reception
guest yell out when the boozing bride took a running leap
onto the back of the bridegroom's Mother.
As the bridegroom's Mom hit the floor with her new daughter-
in-law riding her, it didn't take a prophet to foretell that
the Stuff was about to hit the fan.
Yahooooo! You're starting your Home Grown Internet Biz!
OK. Great. Super! I one hundred per cent endorse your
decision.
Here's your first business assignment. Figure out if your
Home Grown Internet Biz is going to be the bride or the
bridegroom's Mom.
Because the Stuff is about to hit the fan!
Just like at the wedding reception, the internet is over
loaded with wild-eyed experts. Every damn one of these
experts are going to want to get into your action.
So prepare yourself. You're going to drenched with *expert*
advice.
Some of the advice will be OK. Some will be good. And some
will be very good. But the biggest part of the advice will
waste your money and your time.
So how do you know when the advice is good, very good or
stinkin? That, my friend is a very good question.
You're going to trust yourself. If your gut sends you a
caution signal, listen up.
If your gut tells you this feels right, listen up. Do some
more checking. If it still feels right and it feels like
fun, not work, you're probably onto something.
You already know everything you need to know. Just trust
yourself. If you can think it, you can do it. Really.
It's going to take you awhile to learn how to use the many
electronic tools that make internet marketing so much easier
than working offline.

way through it. Most of the tools you'll need are easy
anyway. Of course the more difficult, like building and

I just gave you your very own Home Grown Internet Biz step-
by-step business plan! Follow the above list and you will
have all the success you want. That's a promise. But only
if you do it.
Is it going to take you awhile? Well sure. You don't plant
corn today and eat corn on the cob next week...Unless you
buy it from your grocery. But the more time you work the
sooner you'll make it. Just common sense.
Yeah, Yeah. I know what's going through your greedy little
mind. OK, edward thorpe/The Laziest Dude on The Internet,
so where do I grab all that free training?
Well, I'd be doing you dirty if I told you. It's like this.
Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to
fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
But I will point you in the right direction. Going in this
direction will teach you gobs in its own right.
Go to the search engines and do keyword searches for the
above list. (I like google.com) Then just follow the
trail. Become a sleuth. You'll have fun. And you will
learn a great deal in the process.
If you don't have time to learn everything right away, no
problem. You don't have to wait to eat your corn on the
cob. And you don't have to wait until you learn everything
for yourself, either. At least not at first. But you'll
want to learn the basics,eventually.
But if you're ready to go now, great. You can buy most of
what you need.
Yes, You can buy ready made professionally designed
websites. They can have the tools you'll need already
installed and ready for you to use. Some of these
sites will even let you sell for them.
There you go. An Instant Home Grown Internet Biz for you.
For example, I sell very affordable websites that come with
just about everything you'll need to get started pronto.
And you can even buy with a low monthly payment.
You can get your site and become an affiliate and let your
site pay it's own way. IF you've got the hankering to
get started fast.
Otherwise, follow the list above. Either way you choose to
go...
Yahooooo!
OK. Times up. Which position would you rather your Home
Grown Internet Biz be in?
The boozing bride -or- the bridegroom's Mom?
Nope, it's not a trick question. Trust yourself.
Yahooooo! Git along you internet cowboys and girls!
