Came across this articles from one of the Internet Marketing Guru, Jo Han Mok. The top 10 basic skills one should master, if you're dead serious about being able to set up websites that can really crank out cash.
Getting Started Skill #2: Basic Cpanel understanding and administration. (setting up email accounts, checking traffic stats, etc)
Getting Started Skill #3: FTP (By far the most ’scary’ for most newbies possibly cos the term file transfer protocol is a tad initimidating, although once you get it, it’s as simple as drag and drop.)
Getting Started Skill #4: Understanding how autoresponders work and how to set up mailing lists
Getting Started Skill #5: How to create an opt-in form

Other basic web graphics editing skills using Adobe Photoshop, FrontPage, Dreamweaver or NVU will enhance your website design further.
For newbie, it might be intimidated by all these skills. However, with the "CAN DO" mindset, after much practice, one should be able to execute the above skills confidently.
"Taking action now" and "not procrastinating " and also to be realistic in your expectation of having big returns are just as important factors needed to be in Internet Marketing business.
