^^^^THANK-YOU 500WA^^^^
Funny thing is, I'm planning to "Push" everything mentioned above:
- Dropshipping (Doba, Shopster, WWB, Etc...)
- Affiliate Programs (referrals, products, and services)
- Online Stores (eBay, Amazon, etc...)
- Go Direct to Manufactures for Dropship/Product
- Everything!!!
Thus, eliminating the "networks" as PHPGator, is an avenue I intend to explore later, while I feed (guide) those who are looking for all thee above!
But first, the tough part....
I NEED the basic website building & design experience to "build" around my marketing ideas,and have full-control over my site(s).... the comments above imply there's "money" in every marketing niche for those who harness it. *None of which are perhaps easy, but they all seem to have potential if marketed properly.
The way I see it..."You don't need to own a Ferrari to be able to sell a Ferrari!"
Currently, my idea is "bigger" than my webmastering ability is to actual create it. I'm sure there are webmasters out there that are computer wizards, but suck at marketing. I'm no marketing wizard...but if my idea works...I will be.
Honestly, I didn't realize just how much work it takes to "build a quality website" from scratch (or even a basic template) and bring it to life! *Almost wish I started with the computing aspect, over the marketing itself.
Unfortunately, for all the marketing research and knowledge I've obtained and plan to utilize, it's useless, until I can comprehend the webmastering aspect which sews it all together. Or, I; like my current employer, I can foolishly spend $9,000.00 on a website (that IMO sucks!!!) and needs constant attention from his 3rd party designer$$$... LOL
So, going into Webmastering Day 2 goal: Figure out how to use (and understand) FTP Manager (without webdisk) , add 3rd party webdav, and learn enough code to install my images, links, tags, product, and written content to and from site. And more importanly, learn how to apply changes, edit, add, or remove efficiently....(shouldn't be too bad,:2gunsfiring_v1:"me")
While continuing to research SEO, Traffic Building, tracking, communications & relations with both consumers, and potential "partners" etc...
I figure it'll be a year or so before I see any $$$$. Wtf, a doctorine cost boatloads of money, and the 4,6, or 8 years they "spend" to get it doesn't exactly allow them to perform operations...So as my wife continues to bitch "you're still not making any money online"...I see it as obtaining a Marketing PHD...in 3-4 years for FREE!!
Fuck, I've only recently spent $81 for my domain w/ hosting (1 year) and the rest is all TIME and EFFORT...and in that department, I've put in 1000's of hours.
With what I've learned, I'm already "partnered" with sucessful businesses both online/offline. Now, I gotta build it!
Work Now...Play Later!"
