Hello, I have been on the the Web since 1996. Let me tell you a little advice before you go any further in the pursuit for online riches. I have built a lot businesses in the real world and also in this Internet virtual world and I have noticed that one thing remains invariable either in a real world business or in the virtual world of the Internet. What is it you might ask?

The answer is, virtual world or not, you are dealing with real people in both cases.

If you take a few minutes to think about this, it may change the way to look at your business. Why? Because if you open up a brick and mortar business anywhere in the world you eventually will be dealing with people. And do you know what it means? It means you are dealing with emotions. Emotions play a big part in doing business. The proof is that large businesses spend more money to target the emotions than the product itself.

You see that emotions play a large role in buying a product or a service. But on the Internet you don't meet someone face to face obviously so the only way to carry emotions is through written words and pictures on a web page. So you can see that it is really essential to know how individuals will act in response of what they see.

Perception is an important player. If people appreciate what you have to present you are half way there, but they need to like you and trust you. Believe me, THE major challenge on the Internet is building trust. In the real business world they see you and get to know you, on the Internet it is not the same thing. You may be a world away and you won't meet in person.

Honesty is an important quality also. I want to advise you right now if you expect that you will build a good long term business online thinking that you can get away with scams and other shady projects you better stop reading right here, you are at the wrong place. You have to begin your online business with good honest motives, which are really the foundations of any solid business.

Lets think for a moment what could be a good way to start making money online. You need a product or a service naturally. Offer and demand is the key. What could be a product or a service that everybody having a business on the Internet needs. Well you are looking at the answer at this very moment! You NEED A WEBSITE! Websites are the backbone of the Internet.

Do you know which products/services have the largest demand on the Internet?

ONE of the biggest request to have a business online is web hosting. Why? Each day millions of websites are required to display billions of pages on the Internet. Each day thousands of websites are created and need web hosting to place their new pages! It is the base of the whole Internet, it is as simple as that. Now since everyone needs a web host to do business on the Internet don't you think it would be nice to be able to fill that need? Yes it would!

Now since your goal is to make money online, another smart rule of business is the money you spend has to be an investment. Well how about if you could get paid for your web hosting? What? Say again? Why not getting paid for your hosting. Read on... This is where the rubber hits the road.
