I look at my websites like a shop.
If you walk into a dodgy looking shop and the attendant gives you crappy info on whatever it is you are buying, you would not buy anything in that shop.

However, if you went into a shop/ website that is full of quality information that can help you with your problem, then the chances of that person buying your product is greatly increased.

You won't sell to every person who visits your site, but if you can provide them with enough information to give the appearance of authority in your niche, you are much closer to a sale.

Just my 2 cents worth!

Lol! ok, Jay take a deep breath, and count to ten:) First off don't stress you are among friends
. You came to this site because you are interested in starting an online business. Great choice!!
Now just focus on the training and it will come to you.
Think of it as a book report back when you were in school, except there is no rush and you can write about the thing you love the most.
As time goes on you will understand the procedure.

You probably want to start with something you know a little about because you need to write some content about it. What do you like to do most of the time? Do you like pets, sports or have any other passions?

I suppose it depends whether you already have stuff to sell, have an idea of the kind of people who will buy your stuff, are prepared to handle the shipping of physical products etc.

With an info site you might be able to create digital products that relate to your info site and sell those.
