Jumping on New Ideas
Many people, when attempting to make a living online, will concentrate on one idea and one site only, and that’s ok for them. But some people are what I call “idea people”, and I happen to be one of those kinds. Ideas spring forth like weeds from my brain, and while I don’t act upon every single one, I do tend to act upon at least a dozen or so each year. Some are really bad ideas and fail miserably. Some are pretty good ideas, but I don’t execute them well enough. And some are great ideas that work out really well.
When I first started doing this several years ago, hosting choices were very limited, and my budget was even more limited. I was unable to act upon every idea I had simply because I didn’t always have the money I needed to set up another hosting account. Back then, you couldn’t get deals like Unlimited Domain Hosting Only $9.95 a Month.
Back then, every account cost at least that much, and I couldn’t afford to play around with 10 or 20 ideas and spend $100-$200 per month to see if any of them worked or not. I would have loved to have had an account that I could throw unlimited ideas at.
Those of you starting out now are in much better shape. You can take advantage of those kinds of deals so that you can quickly and easily test out your grand new ideas any time they come to you. If you are a driven, determined, “idea person”, I highly recommend getting one of these types of hosting accounts, so that you can test out your ideas as they come to you. Every 1 out of 10 might be a winner, but if you fail to try that 1, you might miss out on a windfall.
If you’re like me, I wish you the best of luck with each of your ideas. I hope you let me know when one is a big winner.

I am also an ideas person! This morning I talked with my husband about three different ideas.
But I have learned to think about them. I was like “Honey, I have to think about this because I can’t do all of my ideas!”
Right, Nathania, I couldn’t possibly implement ALL of my ideas. (My family would disown me). But I wish I’d been able to try out a few more a few years ago when I was just starting out.
While this is a blessing it can also be kind of a curse I think. I buy a domain at least every other week and I only get to work on so many of the ideas because I run out of time.
