Welcome Fellow Internet Entrepreneurs
November 8, 2009
Hello fellow Internet Entrepreneurs -
Thank you for visiting my blog. My goal with this site is to provide information and receive information on how to make money on the internet (hence QuitThe9to5). As you know, there are millions of resources available on the internet on this subject with only a fraction of them providing helpful information. Please treat this site as an open forum to communicate anything related to online businesses/internet entrepreneurs. Here is a brief list of things that I am currently interested in learning more about:
Advertising – What free online outlets do you use most to market your site? Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.
Affiliate – Do you have a specific affiliate program that you have had good experience with? Adsense, Commission Junction
Checkout – What checkout/shopping cart platforms do you use? PayPal, Google Checkout, Authorize.net
Site Security – How do you protect your site from unauthorized users? VeriSign
Website Analytics – What do you use to test new designs on your site? Google Analytics
What are some general resources that you use? Books, podcasts, websites, etc.
What are you thoughts about outsourcing overseas? Have you had good experiences with certain countries? India, China, Philippines?
If you are new to the internet business world and would like to learn more here a few resources that I would suggest:
Books: Rich Dad Poor Dad, Cash Flow Quadrant, The 4-Hour Work Week, The Tipping Point, Think and Grow Rich, The Intelligent Investor
Podcasts: Internet Business Mastery

I have just started my own blog (GolfTrader.wordpress.com) and am trying to develop a following using free mediums (i.e. wordpress, youtube, Facebook, myspace, twitter etc.). What are some tricks using these mediums that will help me drive traffic to my blog and eventually my site?
Thank you
