Here goes my first Ask Lucius Question. part 1.
I was really hoping and had high hopes of getting web development or web designing questions,
for my new Ask Lucius Feature.
But it looks like everyone wants to know how I got started. (everyone = about 9 people) lol
or How should they get started online.

Well friends, its very simple, and for me to explain I will have to
give insights on personal things, anyways here I go…

As most of you know, I work for Mike Filsaime, well before that
I was a freelance graphics developer. Funny thing is,

I designed sites for some very profitable online companies,
yet I never understood how to make money online. I tried adsense
on some online community, (till this day I make about $200 per month with it).
but nothing really big from it.

I was lost, I had a 60% advantage over most people trying to make it online,
because I knew the ideas, I know how to build a website, I can set it up from the ground up.
BUT I WAS LOST, I didn’t know where to start.

—–private message sent to me——
“I have seen all these things before, and I tell u, I get lost and confuse about exactly how to start making money. I dont know what to submit to start making money from all them things I read on jobcrusher. It is madening. I need to know step by step, cus, Im just getting more and more confused. Thanks”
——————————————-

Step 1: Where to start? (this may not apply to all)
- I had to start with myself, I had to start believing I can get it done.
- Tom Beal recommended ‘The Secret - The Law Of Attraction’
after watching the full video my eyes started opening. note that the videos didn’t completely change
the way I think, but it helped for the best.

I learned for you to be surely successful you need to believe in yourself and what you want.
Only when you believe in what you want, will you be happy with what you have.

I found this Secret Video Online (View only after you read this entire post)
LADIES AND GENTS - I give you The Secret: 1st 20 minutes

Step 2: KNOW YOUR NICHE click here
- You cant start off by selling to the world. (unless you are Bill Gates)
- You must know your market

I recommend doing something you are good at. (whatever it maybe)
If you are good at it, thats what you should focus on.

For the most part I recommend you check out Niche Inspector it
is a very good resource it helped answer most of my questions, and

I learned a lot.
- The 3 elements a niche market MUST meet to be profitable
- Why you should never rely on “Top Paying Adsense” lists to find your niches
- You don’t need hundreds of websites to make money with Adsense
and lots more, but I’ll stop here. Dont want this blog to be to long.

Again the Niche Inspector
is a MUST have tool to get you started on your niche. If you know your niche already. More reason to get it.

After you find what you want to marketing online. I have loads of FREE step-by-step
ways to get you started.
