That's an awesome question. I'd love to hear from some of the veterans (those more experienced and season) in online business too.

I'm just starting out, but here is my story.
1. I had been been wanting to be opportunistic and entrepreneurial for a really long time. When I started reading people's stories online of their success at blogging I realized I should have started 5 years ago.
2. So I started (technically speaking) in July.
3. I've made a little over $0.46 this month. It's humbling, but I took the leap knowing I might not see its benefits for a year or so.
4. I did go through Boot Camp, but I wouldn't claim to be the best student. Some of the steps I applied to myself differently given my life/work/business goals/personal circumstances. I love the idea of affiliating WA, but I don't plan on it being my primary product.
5. Not feeling too successful yet, but I am loving learning as I go and sharing with others what I've learned along the way.
6. I really believe in the opportunities of online business. I'd love to turn my interests into a means to help support myself financially. And I'd never know if I could make it if I didn't try.

To Your Goals,
-Alex
