I am a sales and marketing consultant for a software company.

My strengths are in sales and marketing and business development.

I have done a lot of research on the internet, the experts say find your niche.

Well I think there are a lot of people with my skill sets who offer the same skills for start ups on the net. Do we need another affiliate marketer?

Could anyone provide me with some advice for someone starting out new. with a low budget.
I want to build my own website I understand the pitfalls of using the free sites that are offered.

I want to develop a viable business on the net, I'm not looking to get rich. I'm realistic.

Is there some info on the net that would provide me with some insight as to good start up businesses on the internet and what might be some future trends for business start up on the net.

I've taken sitesells affiliate masters course. It was great!

I'm not clear on what my site concept should be knowing that my skills are in sales and marketing I don't think there is a need for another affiliate marketer is there?

Also realistically are people making money? Could I work hard at this for a year, in hopes of leaving my day job?

Any feedback would be great.

Also is this the right discussion group?

Thanks for you help in advance.

Cheers
