For newbie like me, there is a lot of do’s and don’t. Here is the list what I should do and what shouldn’t. I got this from Malaysia Internet Marketer who has more than 3 years experience as in online business.

Do’s

1. Learn HTML basic. Nowadays, I believe it is not difficult to create website or blog; no more hard coding. However you still need basic foundation on how to put advertisement or editing your themes. Many newbie jumps into internet business without knowing this basic knowledge.
2. Reading. For bloggers, reading will expand and enhance their knowledge give ideas to write valuable articles. We can read newspapers, magazine or blog.
3. Expand source of income. Don’t ever rely on one source of income only. Everyday we should research and discover new source of income. This is why great IM sustain in their business.
4. Join dedicated forum for IM. Join established forum such as Digital Points where we can built our credibility there and expand our network.
5. Trial and error to learn. It is one of the learning method to whom has no teacher or instructor. We will learn new thing when we try something new. We experience it and learn from the mistake. Don’t be afraid to make mistake.

Don’t

1. Give up. In any job, nothing is free. Success not comes for free. We have to sacrifice our time and effort to success. Many newbie thinks we can get money easily from Internet. Many entrepreneurs loss first, before making money through Internet.
2. Begging. Meaning that don’t ever want something for free. Learn first by finding the source in the blog, forum or e-book. Worst case scenario, then try to ask the expertise.
3. Put weaknesses as obstacle. Every people have weaknesses. Many IM don’t have expertise in graphic design, programming or writing but they can still generate many incomes from Internet. The fact is, learning to fill the gap of our weaknesses.
4. Share you personal problem. Share your problem in the forums is not a good way to do. Many don’t care about us and they are not close to us. Many will response it negatively if we do that.
5. Hide your indentity. We need to be transparent to all. Show yourself to prospective buyer. Give your name, address and picture.
