Read through articles and books by and for individuals who are facing your same concerns. You'll be surprised by how much information is available on the Internet and locally.

Send a quick and polite e-mail that both indicates that you are a fan and that asks them for advice. You have to be 100% sure that your message is genial and polite. Nearly all of the time you will get an equally genial and professional answer that will actually help you solve your problems. In the world of Internet marketing, being bashful really doesn't pay.
You will find many other places to seek help too. Business resource centers and community colleges are good places to get assistance and advice. Contact your former instructors for assistance.

Remember that even though IM seems like a very lonely life, the community is full of pleasant and genial individuals who enjoy helping others find success.
