I had several friends that wanted to get into the biz. One of them knew how to make web sites so I actually gave him some info the others thought it was easy so I just told them.

Get an html editor, an FTP client, a graphics program, a thumbnail maker, some legal content with a license to use it, a host, a domain name and a pic viewer. Most of them then would say things like: " what's an ftp client?" and I'd say : " if you don't know you aren't ready to be in this biz. once you have all of the above and know how to use it, I'll help you."

so far to date not one of them has they actually say things like " well, it's hard to work 8 hours a day and then come home and spend another 3-4 working on this stuff I don't have any time to play around."

I tell them I worked a regular job then did this stuff 8 hours a night afterwards for 9 months before I really saw any money. tht usually detours them from trying.
