Understanding a Hierarchy in the Online Money Making Community

I was thinking while lying on my bed the other day. Just before I went to bed, I had a thought. A good thought. It is always a dream for me to build a business empire - A huge business empire. Getting stuck in Asia means there are limitations in the economy. It isn't as fantastic as the European Union, Great Britain, the United States or even the upcoming China. However, one thing that I'm pretty sure, the Internet is borderless. That means doing business anywhere and anytime. Thus this might be the best venture ever in this century.

I've missed the first wave that came during the mid and late 90's - the first Internet wave. If I caught it, I'm sure I'll be wealthy. But back then I didn't have a great vision - the vision of building a business empire. 10 years later which is now, my vision finally took off. And it all started with one website. Though nothing majestic or something to be awed at, this is my launch pad to success. People might laugh at me or perhaps maybe they are half true, that I might never succeed. Oh well, I got the other half to prove them wrong. Or at least get them half way wrong (if you get what I mean).

Before I went to bed yesterday, I had a thought. I notice that there is a hierarchy in every community. You started out as a noob or newbie and when you graduate you become a freshman and slowly a senior and finally the boss. I consider myself as a newbie when it comes to building an online business. Though I might be not as young 10 years ago, I just started building something online last month. Continuous building will graduate me to a freshman. I notice that there are already hundreds or in fact thousands of online gurus out there. Many of them have already set up pretty impressive websites or online businesses. A glance at Adwords advertisements you can see a few of them. And not only they have advertise their sites in Adwords, you can even see similar advertisements in Yahoo! Publisher Network, BidVertiser, AdBrite and many more. Those are the people that have the resources to burn and those are your online gurus.
