One Path to Success

If you want to succeed on the Web, you must first come to grips with what you mean by success. If your definition can be simplified to making a good living with the opportunity to make more, then all is quite doable. And one of the best ways to start is to begin part time and grow your business as you learn.

Getting Real

Whether you have started a business or are still only thinking about doing so, you may find it informative to check out some successful sites. Successful, that is, according to the definition of their owners.

Common Elements

While the following sites may appear quite different from one another, they have much in common. Nobody is making a million bucks a year; this was not the goal. Rather they are making a living (their definition) and are in an excellent position to increase their income. The site designs are quite simple; very few fancy graphics are to be found. Each site is well focused. Each site is loaded with content. Some face stern competition; others have carved their niche and conquered it. You will probably note ways in which each site can be improved. But this is true of any site, large or small. And it's true of yours. And mine.
