As a web worker for the past 5 years my lessons would be…especially for telecommuters – Plan your time! It is a very important part of keeping yourself motivated and organized, since you don’t have a normal organizational context for these things.

Nothing can be more important than the last fact. Back Up.

You shall.
You ought to.
Neglect it at your own peril.

My number one lesson: The online world is a microcosm of society in general. There are still bullies, self-starters, clingy neurotic people, preachers, helpers and all the others.

Number two: Before typing anything, ask yourself if you would say it in public, offline, and be willing to have it quoted back to you later.

Number three: Start slowly and stick with it. Many web sites that started as “the biggest collection of (fill-in-the-blank) on the internet” have disappeared within six months.

I find real value in having the same yahoo email address for almost 10 years. Other email addresses come and go and while many people recommend using a “professional” address with a personalized domain, I wish I had the emails I sent before I started being consistent with Yahoo. I appreciate Google’s ambivalence in having multiple gmail accounts simultaneously, but it does get confusing.

As someone who started online in 1989 with Netnews, I can certainly agree with your above points! Especially the ‘back it up incessantly…it will the critical document you lose when you fail that process ONCE.
