Stop doing what doesn't work. It doesn't work scrap it.

forums, blogs, trial & error.

I visited websites like this and played around with adsense

**peterk** · 08-03-2006, 10:47 PM

I read forums, read articles and trial & error.

I first became drawn in to the webmaster world by participating at Dnforum. The rest is history..

What are some blogs you guys are reading?

**grandcartel** · 08-04-2006, 02:25 PM

I learned everything in little bits and pieces and somehow managed to put everything together. I learned PHP first because I didn't want to pay some random dude in India to make my site, then I learned about SEO, and monetization, etc, and here I am

Trial and error for me. But I hope by joining this community I am able to learn a lot more and earn.

**netdesignz** · 08-05-2006, 12:13 AM

I just would visit forums, and read articles.

I never had anyone teach me. I just learned it all on my own.

**matrixlover** · 08-06-2006, 12:38 AM

I'm still pretty much new into the game. I learn a lot from Sitepoint, and from other people. Read a lot of articles and books. But most of all, I learn from other people's websites.

I learned through just making sites and reading tutorials online and a lot of practice. I remember the good ol' days of CENSORED which is where I learned HTML.

The first webmaster forum I visited was CENSORED, which died a long time ago (still up, just dead). I believe I have over 800 posts there actually.. fun to read.. where I'm asking very basic questions! Good times.. good times..

I knew HTML for a long time but haven't thought of making money on the net since six months ago. I learned all I know so far from reading forums or blogs.

Good Post

I got into web designer after I worked for a failed web hosting company just before the internet bubble burst. I was working there for around 6 months. That gave me the idea of learning web designing as I thought it would be good to have a website. I didn't even think much about earning from it and then I started seeing that sites had these things called affiliate programs and learn't from there. I have learn't most of my programming from tutorial sites and I have manually learn't myself about monetizing my sites, but forums have helped in a big way when it comes to SEO and getting help for other things.

**imported_virtuexru** · 07-07-2007, 03:04 PM

Trial and error is the best method. That and reading. I spend 50% of my time reading, reading, reading.

You can ONLY learn by doing and from experience. Reading will help but it all come down to how much you try.
