EVERY BODY HELP !!! I am so confused about online businesses.?

You just cannot imagine how much I am confused and bewildered about starting an online business. I want to start an online business to make about 3000$ a month, but the main problems are:
1- There are many ways to make money online such as : Adsense , eBay , Affiliate programs , Data entry programs , etc.
2- Internet is full of scams, so it really takes a lot of valuabe time to find the right one .

The hardest part is to choose one of these ways. I am ready for hard working and I am not looking for getting rich quickly.
I just don't know what to focus on. I need the advice of experienced people like you to help me reach my goal. I need the advice of professionals . I don't fear hard working . I have a geat motivation, but i don't know where to put it.
Which one do you prefer and why ?
1- eBay
2- Adesense
3- Affiliate Programs
4- data entry Programs
5- ect ( your new idea )

I believe that focusing on one thing is better than focusing on several things . Please help me .

Answer 1

I could certainly understand your confusion... I was there about a year ago...

Looking back at those times and where I am now... I would recommend the following:

1/ The first step is having the right mindset - by having the right mindset, I mean

- take your internet business seriously

- stop jumping from opportunity to opportunity... focus is important

- stop buying all those internet marketing products that "guarantee" that we would make "tons of money"

- start implementing the things that we have already learnt... start taking action

2/ If you're now starting off, I would recommend doing affiliate marketing, simply because its a very easy and profitable system and doesn't have too much hassle.

3/ Build your business around something that you are interested in or have a passion for. This makes doing the work a lot easier.

Now in respect to how to go about running your business and making money... that's too much to put in here... so I would like to recommend some resources that have helped me along the way...

http://www.affiliatemarketinglessons.com/affiliateofthemonth.html - This is very good if you want to learn about affiliate marketing.

http://www.affiliatemarketinglessons.com/affiliateclassroom.html - if you know the basics of affiliate marketing, then membership to this site would teach you how to build an affiliate marketing internet business. This is a membership site that requires a monthly subscription.

http://www.affiliatemarketinglessons.com/IS2006.html - This is very good for learning how to start and build a profitable internet business... not just with affiliate marketing... but by creating your own product...

http://www.affiliatemarketinglessons.com/jobcrusher.html - this is a very informative site. It was created by Eric Louviere who got involved in internet marketing and eventually left his job and went online full time. On the site he teaches exactly how he did it... step-by-step

Please, remember, the first part is having the right mindset... it is essential... no course or membership site on internet marketing will help you unless you have the right mindset...

Hope this helps..

Answer 2

I would look for a few business courses at a local college or university to get a basic understanding of business principles, and if any of them focus on online activities, so much the better. Without a basic understanding, you'll have problems no matter what you get into.
