    MARKETING 
    Not an expert at this but a great way to get good headlines + get to know some of their language is to look for magazines in your niche. Go to magazines.com and look around. They live off their headlines. If magazines don't catch your attention with those headlines they're out of business. You...

    How to build website?

    I would create a simple mockup or coming soon page to see if people are interested first. Here's a quick, cheap way to create coming soon pages(LaunchRock.co). I would try to get people to sign up. If you have enough signups it's a sign that there's enough interest in it. If you don't have...

    i think many are misising the point?

    EXECUTION HOT! 
    Meh while I do agree with you, the other methods are good for learning the skills needed to get to bigger projects. Affiliate marketing is a good way to learn marketing without learning product creation as well. When you sell an affiliate product online it still gives you the rush of actually...

    Who REALLY is the Millionaire?

    EXECUTION

    What would you pay for?

    1. Check out Eben Pagan. The guy built a multi million dollar company on information products. All info products are mostly the same information (because it works) but shown from a different perspective. Look at all the weightloss products.
