Here's the thing about online business.
It's two words.
Online
and Business.
Most information about creating an online business focuses on the Online part.
The worst of them totally ignore the concept of building a business.
They try to tempt you with impossible dreams.
No website, no mailing list, no nasty SEO, just buy this $27 product, click an the magic button and watch the money roll in.
It's all bullshit. To succeed with internet marketing, you have to build a business.

Your entire website or blog should be based on something that is both appealing to yourself and to the visitors that you want to attract to your site and make sales to.
