Q: Be prepared to make a long-term commitment
A: To be successful you must set this as one of your top priorities. If you are new to the online world, this will be slow at the beginning. Be patient. There are many people who are genuinely willing to share advice and help. Visit some blogs and search for the kind of advice you need. Don't be shy to say you are a newbie, if you are. I see this all the time and most people respect this as they were once newbies themselves. Ask the hard questions. Sift the advice you get and come to your own conclusions. Don’t feel intimidated by the ‘gurus’ most of whom have started learning about online opportunities a year or two ago. They all must keep learning as new products and ideas come on stream. If you persist, you will catch up quickly.
