When someone gets on the internet for the very first time, and they want to earn money in their spare time, they have a lot of questions they will want to ask.

I will seek to answer those questions here, as well as to provide a Day Planner to enable the new online entrepreneur to navigate the maze of building a successful online business.

When I find great advice by other writers, I will include that information as well. --- Clinton Douglas IV, Founder of Vasrue.com

DAY ONE - What Do You Want To Do?

It does stand to reason that your desire is to make money online and that is what you want to do. But, that is not exactly what I am asking of you.

The first thing one must do is to decide what they want to do with their time online.

If you hate medicine, why would you want to build a business around medicine? If you hate television, why would you want to build a business around television?

Do you see where I am going here?

When you start your first online business, it might seem the profitable thing to do in the beginning. But, if you hate the process you are involved in to earn your living, then you may find the job thing to be a bit more satisfying than your successful online business.

So here is the deal. You need to select a business niche where you could actually enjoy the time you spend online.

To do otherwise will condemn your work to failure before you even begin.

Do the research. Find something you enjoy. And then find out if there is possibly a way to earn a living doing the things you enjoy the most.

Pick wisely. Because if you are successful, you will be doing the same things ten years from now as you are today... provided you make it a successful endeavor.
