Hi Missy,
Welcome to 5 Star. You have lots of learning to do but yes it can be done.
I have carpal so can't write a book in this post, which is what it would take to give you all the info to get started.
So here's a good thread for starters.
Need some guidance from the pros please
Read all the other threads where oter newbies asked how to get started and that should provide some valuable info. The most important thing IMHO to do is niche research and picking the RIGHT niche. Don't start off with Clickbank, Internet Marketing ebooks, web hosting and other heavily competitive markets.
