Author: What steps must you take to start your business internet money online opportunity to make money online for a purpose filled life? I could think of hundreds but will discuss 5 very basic and initial steps you must take in order to begin. If you are new to this process you need to begin somewhere. If you have been around for several months, then pass these basic steps on to a friend who wants to learn.
Here are 5 steps you must do to get started.
(1) Take a computer course.
Even before you own a computer, you really need to understand what it is. A computer course will explain the terms operating system (OS) and how to navigate the internet, often referred to as the world wide web (www). Computers have been around a long time but the past 40 years they have evolved from mainframes through minis to micros and even cell phones are computers to access the internet. It is worth your time to take a basic course on computers and you will learn a lot about what they do and how they work.
(2) Buy a computer.
If you don’t have a computer, then you need to pick up a book and read about them to learn what they do and how they do it and what you need to buy one that works for you. A book on computers is a good start. Once you have read this book you will then know what a mouse is, a keyboard, random access memory (RAM), hard disk space and many more acronyms or terms that are part of the computer language. Before you buy a computer, go to the library or a friend who has one and learn all about that computer. When you are ready to buy a computer don’t spend a lot of money.
(3) Get an Internet Service Provider or ISP.
Once you’ve taken a course and have a computer, you need to get an internet service provider or ISP. The ISP will be your link from your computer, through your telephone line or cable box or device to connect it to the internet. Remember that your telephone line is much slower and also less expensive than using your cable service provider or even a DSL (digital subscriber line) provider. Both these are more expensive but will provide the state-of-the-art speeds.
(4) Learn about the internet and specifically affiliate marketing.
Learning about the internet is such a generic statement that I added specifically affiliate marketing. Learning about the internet is about like saying, learn about the encyclopedia Britannica. There are so many areas of knowledge on the internet; you need to focus on affiliate marketing. Do a Google search on affiliate marketing and start from there. You will get a lot of information and still have to choose what area of affiliate marketing. I recommend article marketing as a start.
(5) Work on your computer daily.
This is the most important of the 5 steps. If you aren’t ready to buy a computer, go to the public library and use theirs for free. The key is to do it every day so you aren’t intimidated by the movement of the mouse or typing on the keyboard. Once you get into a comfort zone you will find yourself falling in love with it and your ability to use it will rapidly move forward.

Commuters often multitask while driving around town, whether it’s eating a quick lunch, glancing at a map, or putting on makeup. These activities can cause dangerous distractions to drivers. Among the most common forms of distraction for multitasking drivers is cellular phone use.
As cell phones have become more of necessity in society, drivers are talking on their phones to catch up with family, hear about a friend’s day, or find out if the big business contract went through. Cell phone use is common form of distraction among drivers. With advances in technology, drivers are not only talking on the phone, but also texting and emailing while behind the wheel. Studies and research are surfacing that examine the dangers of cell phone use.
According to research performed by the Harvard Center of Risk Analysis, 6% of traffic accidents nationwide are the result of cell phone use. This equates to 330,000 injuries and 2,600 deaths annually. While many drivers switch to hands-free cell phones in an attempt to driver more safely, research conducted at the University of Utah show absolutely no difference in concentration levels between drivers using hands-free cell phone and drivers using hand-held cell phones.
Text-messaging poses even more of a danger than simply talking on the cell phone. Nearly 50% of drivers between the ages of 18 and 24 text-message while driving. This is extremely dangerous. Studies show that the steering control of a driver who is text-messaging is reduced by 90%. Furthermore, the reaction time of someone texting while driving is reduced 35%, three times more than a drunk driver’s reduced reaction time of 12%.
In Utah, certain legislators are proposing cell phone bans. Representative Phil Riesen is submitting a strict bill that would outlaw all cell phone use while driving, including hands-free headsets, text-messaging, and emailing. His bill makes exceptions for emergency situations and two-way radios. A recent survey conducted by the Salt Lake Tribune found that 80% of Utah residents favor a cell phone ban.
Despite research showing the dangers of cell phone use and overwhelming citizen support for a legislative ban, some Utah lawmakers are opposed to such a bill. Opponents of the bill suggest that such a law would infringe on civil liberties. Other opponents point out that laws already exist which penalize distracted driving.
In what will likely be a heated debate, Utah legislators will soon be deciding the fate of multitasking drivers across the state. Regardless of the legislature’s decision, we would all benefit from turning our cell phones off before we get behind the wheel.
