Getting started making money online can be overwhelming for beginners, especially Boomers who didn’t grow up with computers in their playpens. Many people don’t even know the basics: What is a domain? How do I buy a domain? What is a shopping cart? How do I grow a list of people to sell to?

The Internet marketing questions for beginners are practically endless, and can feel overwhelming. Yet the real bottomline issue is how can people start making money online?

When we got started in our early 60s we knew nothing about marketing or selling and even less about computer technology. We came from being psychotherapists and writers so we’d only used our computers for word processing not online money making .

with:

∗∗∗ the least expense

∗∗∗ the least confusion

∗∗∗ the least time before the money starts coming in

It’s that simple when you break it down to the basics. Because the last thing you want is what we experienced — overwhelm, frustration, spinning in one direction and then the next, waaaaaaay more money going out then coming in. It was maddening.

So protect yourself from the get rich hype out there that promises you the moon in overnight success. Instead look for courses that start at the beginning and walk you through each step — step by step — so you can put them to use right away and see the results build...
