When starting out as an online young entrepreneur, it is important to be aware of both the risks and the rewards. Its important to be aware of all aspects of running an internet business, and also to be sure you are safe online.

Its well worth learning internet marketing at a young age , as learning new concepts is always easier when young. As we get older it is far harder to except new ways of thinking, and this can be seen in all aspects of life. It is far easier to learn new ways of thinking when young, at least partially because the brain develops new synaptic connections and pathways faster in the young.

While you are young you still have the time to learn. Now lets look at that sentence and try to understand what happens as you get older. The responsibilities you see around you, grow more demanding day by day. The need to just earn a living can squash any chance you have of ever learning anything new, due to time restraints and money problems.

Truly youth is the perfect time to learn new skills, as you don't have to fight to survive. You have parents for that. Unfortunately if there is no plan in place by the time your the parent, your time is gone and learning a new skill will be far harder.

A great motivation I found when starting out was the idea of travelling the world and earning money from a laptop. And just in case you think this is an unrealistic dream, I know several people who do just that.

Learning to make money online is not hard but it does take time. Unfortunately many unscrupulous marketers, will tell you that you can learn all you need to know within a week or less. This simply isn't true, and causes lots of people to have false hopes of fast cash. Earning money online takes time, as you need to learn many skills unique to the online world. However if your young enough, or have a young child you should start them on this path while they have time to learn.

Don't assume everyone you talk to online is who they appear. There are countless cases of people tricked online. Its simple to be safe online, all you have to do is be careful about what you do. Don't buy anything from a source that hasn't already proved they know, or can do, whatever they claim.

The same thing applies to you online. If you want people to know and trust you as a young entrepreneur , then all your activities should reflect this. Be helpful to people who need help and always answer questions posted on your blog. By giving back to the online community, you gain far more in return. A reputation as an honest and honourable business person.

Don't be put off if your current level of ability is not up to par. Many successful people online have less technical knowledge, and are successful due to giving quality information to their readers and followers.

People wont support your blog or buy for your business if they don't understand what your about, so make sure you stick to your goals, and focus your energy in one direction.
