Step 1:    First things First, Get yourself a PayPal account.  It's free, and you have nothing to loose.  Most of these ventures explain that you will need one further down in the signup and getting started process, but why waste time, get it set up now and when you get to those parts of the program you are one step ahead of the game.  If you already have an account set up, no problem, just be sure you have it set up to accept money on the email address you are going to use for all the business ventures to come.

Step 2:    Second thing that I recommend is getting RoboForm.  This program has saved me so much time it's not even funny, and you all know that TIME IS MONEY.   With all the forms you will be filling out and places to join, it gets to be a pain to remember all your account names and passwords.  This is your ticket to the easy life, or lazy life, which ever you want :) hehehehehe     It is free too, but as with everything there is a option in it to upgrade if you find it useful.  Again, what have you got to loose? Nothing, because it's free to install and use.
