The internet is the best example that there is of someone can start with almost no knowledge, learn as he goes, and still become very successful in a relatively short amount of time.
As with anything else in life, there are going to be successes and failures, but you will be successful as long as you keep on trying.
While it isn't important to know a lot of technical skills like programming, etc, you will find that it is going to be helpful if you are familiar with some html editors like Mozilla Kompozer or Microsoft Frontpage so that you learn a little bit about site design and layout.
However, that is not a requirement in order to start because you can always find people to do the design work for you, and there are a lot of ready made template sites out there as well.
If you start with just the basics, an opt-in page (to collect a visitor's information), and an autoresponder (to send email to someone who has opt-ed in), then you will find that you will be able to begin promoting your products fairly quickly.
After you have gotten those couple of things in place, then the next big thing that you want to learn is how to go about getting visitors to your new opt-in page.
Learning how to get traffic to your site is crucial if you want to have a business.
You don't have to be an internet marketing genius to make money on the internet.
It is important to learn a few basics or fundamentals of on-line marketing.
The best way for you to do that is to become a internet student, and I don't mean to go buy a lot of courses and seminars from the "gurus".
All of the information that you need to learn is available for free, you just have to go find it.
And I promise that it isn't as hard as you think it might be.
