How to Become a Successful Internet Entrepreneur

someone who wants to become a successful internet entrepreneur will often pay attention to
some startup basics involving blending this new technology with classic good business sense:

Part-1: Getting Business and Technical Training


1. Take courses in business and management. You need business training before you can
hope to succeed as an entrepreneur. Enroll in business courses, preferably at a four-year
college. You may choose to get an MBA sooner or later, as this is a great way to learn
more successful business practices. However, you will be your own boss if you start an
internet-based business, so you may not need it to move up the ladder.
2. Get training in technology. The ability to write code or develop websites is optimal. If you have
colleagues starting the business with you, you may be able to focus on the business aspect of your
website. Nonetheless, you will need a basic level of computer competence to successfully
maintain, trouble shoot, and do damage control for your business.
 A degree in Information and Technology, Computer Science, or a similar field is
recommended. If you’d rather focus on business, however, a few classes in IT can go a
long way in building confidence with your computer skills.

3. Do an internship. Look for internships in internet marketing or search engine


optimization (SEO) to get more interaction with internet businesses. When applying, you
don’t have to sound like you have the same resume as Steve Jobs. But make sure you
have a concrete reason for applying, and that something about the specific business
interests you.
