Please briefly describe your ebusiness.
My ebusiness is a webmaster forum, great for webmasters that just started off and want to learn a lot about the field of webmastering.

Why did you pick this particular idea?
I choose this particular idea because I want to help out people who are starting off with webmastering to get a better impression of webmastering and to get some great tips on the field.

Did you have any previous experience in this area?
Yes, I am currently a member on many different kinds of webmaster forums such as Digital Point, Namepros, and Webmaster-talk.

How long did it take before you realized success or failure?
It took me about a year and a half to really start to be successful.

Why do you think you succeeded or failed?
I think I am heading towards the successful point. I have been in the failure side in the beginning but I bounced back.

What things worked well?
The things that worked well for me were directories, and sites with lots of content. The most important thing to have is content.

What things didn’t work well?
Small forums about pointless topics didn’t work for me. I have seen people have success with these kinds of sites but not me.

What did you learn the hard way?
I learned how to design websites the hard way. I still did not master it. I am still learning from tutorials on different websites.

Did you find any particular person, book, or site helpful?
Yes, many users are helpful along the way when you try to become a webmaster. I have to say, no ebooks helped me. I have read a few and none of them did me any good. I don’t think books about how someone had success help you have success. People on webmasters were most helpful, that is why I want to be the helpful person now and offer help on WebmasterEarth.com

What advice would you give to someone considering an ebiz today?
You need money from the beginning to start a good ebiz. You have to have money to earn money. If you do not have any money then you cannot advertise, buy links, and other things. Try to always have money before you start a business.
