Thong Sniper

I'm going to give you some honest advice. I've been in this business for close to 8 years now, and had many many clients come to me with the same questions you're asking right now.

My advice to you would be to wait.. and start small. You are one of those people (and believe me, I can see this) that have a dream of doing something they know close to nothing about.

You haven't even gotten this money yet and already it's burning a hole in your pocket. This is a bad sign in itself.

I've built so many sites for people such as yourself, who have great ambitions and high hopes.. this is usually what happens..

They get the design, they get the content, if they've bought our consulting, we start on learning how to obtain traffic. As soon as they see how much work it is, it surprises them, but they hang in there.. and work their tails off.. for a while..

Then money becomes a problem.. and the dream that looked so good to them months before starts to pale. Then they start not staying in contact.. and pretty soon.. I never hear from them again, except for an occasional one that'll message me to see if I'm interested in buying them out.. which I'm not.

Don't be one of those stories Thong Sniper.. start small.. work your butt off.. and spend close to nothing while you learn.. that's my advice to you
