If you are here on this website it's probably because you want to have a business on the Internet.  The keyword here is BUSINESS. Just like any normal business, you need certain things before you can startup.  For example; a business address,  stock, an accountant, advertising, stationery, staff...  the list is endless.  

However, an Internet business is no different.  I'll say that again. An Internet Business is NO Different to a conventional business.  You still need the basics to start that business.  Of course the things you will need may be different, but the concept is the same.  You need things. And this section is our recommended items that you should have.  Some are essential, others less so, but nevertheless we recommend that you study these recommendations and apply as many as may be necessary to your business.

The bottom line is this...  YOU WILL NEED TO SPEND MONEY and YOU WILL NEED TO SPEND TIME.  Not everything on the Internet is free.   Don't get me wrong... we have been through the process of using the "free" options to almost everything when we started up, and that was usefull when we were short of cash, however if I could have done it differently, I would definately have purchased the correct tools at the start and saved time and money in the end.

OK, so after all that, you can read, understand and use what you like.. enjoy :)
