To become a successful online business owner. Then there must be networking first. We must learn how to enlarge our circle because online business depends on traffic as offline businesses depend on customers.
Then we need to disciple ourselves. There are many things online that act like baits and they distract people easily. I think if these are out in place, success may not be too far.

You have made important point because there's absolutely no way you would make money on the internet without having one or two of those skills that you have listed above. I have always advocated for skill acquisition because it is one of the ways you can make a reasonable amount of money on the internet except you if you're willing to settle for less which is not what everyone will want. Making money on the internet is sweet when you have relevant skill to showcase most especially on most of the freelancing website. It is better to pick one of those skills and start learning today.
