Most people start an internet business either to suppliment their income, or they want to fully support themselves so they can have the freedom that an at home business gives them.  If either of the two is your goal and you haven’t made it there yet, here’s a story that will help encourage you.

I first stumbled across one of Eric Busches sites about a week or two ago. I was looking for articles about using WordPress as a CMS. I found it to be a very good article. I wrote about the article in a previous post.

I eventually contacted Eric after checking out his site, pqdb.com. I wanted to find out more about him, his site, and what all he was involved in. Eric has a very interesting site. He sells sites that are “ready to go sites”, these type of sites are sometimes called “made for Adsense sites.” Unlike most made for Adsense sites, Eric has developed sites that are very attractive, update themselves with new artices on a daily basis, search engine friendly, and run on WordPress. There is actually a lot more to say about the sites, but to keep this article short you should check out Eric’s list of ready to go sites yourself.

During our conversation, I found out that Eric and his wife are currently living in Korea. He moved there to teach English. Eric began to get tired of teaching and realized he really enjoyed making money on the net.  So he worked hard until he was able to make a living doing what he enjoyed.  Eric is still making a living online mostly by building websites and through Adsense. I asked Eric if this was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.  And this was his reply:

“I could never speak for the rest of my life.  I can’t see doing any one thing for the rest of my life.  That being said, I love developing websites, I love making money on the web and I love my schedule.”

If you are struggling to fulfill your dream of either supplimenting your income or making a living on line, hang in there, work hard, continue reading Webpuffs and other great sites and you will be well on your way.

The internet is full of very successful people. Although we may not know their names, they are out there and they are successful nonetheless. Take Brent Champagne, for example, who is now making a substantial amount of money via the internet. I actually had my first encounter with Brent nearly a year ago when I sold him a site of mine. I had just recently made a transaction with him and had the opportunity to ask him a few questions about himself. Being in the web business since late 2003, Brent now owns about 30 sites, some directories and some non-directory. His most notable is Best-Web-Directories, a directory of directories per say. Some of his other sites are:

Cbravo Directory

Link Exchange Network

Deep Link Directory

1000 Niche Directories

Top Keyword Tools

Some words of advice from Brent. “Don’t expect to make it big overnight. With any website, you have to be patient and not worry about making much in the first 6 to 12 months. Like any business, if you find a niche that is underserved then that would be a great place to start.”

So for those of you who are just starting out, hang in there, keep working hard…success does happen!
