Finally, a Place to Start!

[dalrohrer]

This is a guide to internet business to take beginners to intermediates. I am a college student with a passion for business. Here is just a clip from an article I wrote on my blog, collegeventures.blogspot.com. On my blog all of the titles below each "tool set" are links to great sites.

Beginner Internet Marketing tools 101 - Part 1
Okay, so you are young, poor, ambitious (but not too ambitious) and tech-savvy (but not too savvy). Does this describe you? Well even if it doesn't keep reading.

Ambitious (want to start a business), but not too ambitious (don't want to leave your home). Solution: Internet business! Assuming you understand some internet and some business, I will provide 3 tried, tested, amazing, FREE internet business tools (or tool sets) and their breakdowns each day for the next week or so in this multi-part blog post. But lets cut all the blah blah blah and get into the good stuff. This week's tools are all related to getting started:

Internet Tool Set #1 (Internet Business Starting Info):
Start An Internet Biz in 10 Days
Dozens of Articles for Starting
How Creating an Online Biz Works
Entrepreneur.com's Online Biz Articles

If you read every article in these links (or that these links lead to), you would be busy for a week, and you would also be well versed in the language and methods of online business. These are (for the most part) well written, well geared towards beginners, and up to date.

Internet Tool Set #2 (Easy Site Building):
Learn HTML
Weebly Drag and Drop
Wix Drag and Drop (flash)
Drupal Drag and Drop (Downloadable)

There are several tools here because each has its value and may appeal to different users. For instance, if you are more interested in learning code, go to the "Learn HTML" link. If you would like to slap up a website quickly but you want to maintain decent code, try Weebly. If you want a lot more design freedom and don't care about code, try Wix. If you want a downloadable editor, try Drupal. They are all superb programs.

Internet Tool Set # 3 (Making a Quality Site):
Web Wiz Guide
8 Tips
Taming The Beast
17 Rules

This is a well rounded list of guides to making an appealing website, both with design and with appearance. I found particularly helpful the "17 Rules" guide. Reading up on these articles would definitely give you a well rounded feel for how to design a website.

Thanks for checking out this guide. There will be more to follow including selected links hosting sites, international supplier sites, or competition information sites
