So Here I Am!

So here's the question most people ask... how do you make money online?

I think a smarter, wiser, more thoughtful question would be... how do you build an online business.

"Making money online" has such a get rich quick innotation - make money fast, etc...

However, as we all know, that statistically speaking very few people ever experience online riches.

Dispite that fact - it's the message that the Internet is saturated with. Buy my product now and you'll make $5000 a day - blah, blah, blah.

The only money being made is what desperate people spend on these products as they seek out Internet riches.

So making money online, in my opinion (probably in a lot of other's as well) is achieved by focusing on building a business - but one that is facilitated via the web.

I'm trying to get my focus on this one point - trying to focus on building a business instead of getting rich online.

I mean, look at Zappos.com - they were just purchased by Amazon for $800,000,000. The reason being - they've built a solid online business that focuses on customer service - not "get rich quick" concepts.

So the question I'm just staring at here is this - what business can I build online? What can we build that fits the definition of a "business" that is just facilitated by the web.

Getting a hold of products to sell is one place to start. However, I'm unsure how to get ahold of products.

Like Zappos.com - how do they get shoes to resell? I mean, where is their supplier? Who is the supplier? How do get the deals on shoes - what's the source, etc...?

Anyway - so here I am!
