When I try to explain stuff I do on the net to friends and mention the term ‘HTML‘ they tend to get a glazed look over there face, they have no idea what I just said. But do you really need to know HTML?

In my opinion you don’t need to but it can make things a heck of a lot easier. When I first started playing about online I went to some Yahoo HTML tutorial where I could change colours of words. When I first did it I thought that was awesome, I could make words change colours and even blink on and off if I wanted to .

Now I’m pretty proficiant with HTML and it’s all been self taught simply by going to online tutorials and such. I could confidently whip out a site in less than a day if I wanted to. Even now though I’m constantly learning new things about HTML and even CSS which makes creating a site easier and a lot faster.

But the fact is you don’t need to know HTML to earn money online. I know some people who make decent incomes online and can barely use a spreadsheet! The fact is they hire people to do their work for them or they know just enough html to get by.  So while you don’t need it , I would advise trying to learn a bit here and there so when ever you get a bright idea you can go with the flow and you don’t have to worry about hiring anyone else to do the work for you . It will save you both time and money.
