Learn to code

If you want to make it on the web, especially if you’re just starting out, you need to know how to code. I suppose there are exceptions to this rule, like if you intend to just blog within an app like Wordpress and never venture outside of that, but I think most successful Internet entrepreneurs know how to code. The reason for this is that the web lends itself so well to automation. When people don’t know how to code and automate, they either become button pushing monkeys spending their day hitting essentially the same keystrokes as they did the day before, or they hire automatons to do those tasks manually which costs money, which inflates expenses, which causes businesses to fail. Coding accomplishes repetitive tasks elegantly, efficiently, and cheaply, and is your key to building a great web business.
