Personal One on One Internet Marketing Training for Beginners and Intermediates

Internet marketing for beginners today is vastly different than when I jumped into the fray 14 years ago.

In those olden times there was no social media marketing action to mention, and there was only one pay model, Goto.com, which soon became the more classy Overture.com. The search engines were in a frenzy, battling each other for supremacy, and AltaVista was the top dog. Google, on the other hand, was a nothing kind of search vehicle, like dozens of other piddly startups.

What changed everything was when all of the search engines except Google went strictly to pay for placement. The only place you could freely list your site was Google, and in the end, Google trampled the other engines into the dust of history. Then they started up their pay model.

As an Internet marketing beginner who is trying to make money, or someone who is interested in seeing if it’s right for them, it’s very important to understand the basic concepts. Chief among these is that most Internet marketers build a website which offers things for sale. The way people find your website is by going to a search engine, seeing your site listing, and clicking on it. Understanding this fully will then allow you to go on to learn how to make money from your work.

As you, fresh new Internet marketing beginner, dig deeper into the rabbit hole of Internet marketing, you will find that there are other ways to make money, with things like direct linking, banner advertising, Adsense advertising, affiliate marketing, and ton more ways. But whatever you eventually land on, the way most of get started is by building a website and selling things from there.

Early on, Internet marketers who were ahead of their time made vast sums of money by offering pre-made websites to hungry buyers eager to get in on the Internet craze. Most of the people who bought these sites never made a nickel, because the sites were made to sell, not to make money.

They had the mistaken notion that if you put something on the net, then they will come. The entrepreneurs who sold this bogus technology made fortunes, and their customers, who had not the first inkling of what they were doing, lost their savings.

The DotCom Internet bubble came and went, and nearly took down our economy with it. Internet marketing beginners with little brains, but deep pockets plowed billions of dollars into bogus Internet ventures. The most notable failure was the venerable Pets.com website of those long ago times. Incalculable sums of money was poured into the project, which lasted less than a year. Again, it proved my old adage that “money doesn’t make brains.”

So, as a brand spanking new Internet marketer beginner, and a veritable marketing beginner, you have a rich history to draw on to aid you in knowing what works, and what doesn’t. If you fail to heed the lessons of the past, then you are setting yourself up for a tragic future in online marketing. Network marketing doesn’t suffer fools or lazy people.

But, regardless of the history lessons that you should be aware of, your career objective of making a buhzillion dollars right out of the box begins with a well researched idea for a website, followed by a website with good material on it, followed by long and tedious work to help it rise to a level in the search engines that will get it noticed by your potential customers.

If you are up to the challenge, this is where you begin. Then you will be ready to assimilate things like social media marketing and search engine optimization training. Also a buncha more stuff too.

Anyone, and especially an Internet marketing beginner, who thinks they can just toss up any old website and start reeling in the dough is going to be sadly disappointed. I suggest that you re-program those gray cells there the easy way. Instead of starting from dead flat scratch, like most of us had to do, go ahead and get Internet marketing training up front. It will save you many many frustrating hours, days, and weeks in the future as you go about making your Internet springboard to success.

In other words, there is NO need to re-invent the wheel. Get started out on the right foot. If you are serious about Internet marketing, then Internet training will save you much time and much money.

Lastly, never let them call you a newbie. Usually, it’s a kindly enough term, but I have never liked it. It can also have negative connotations. If you are going to work to become an Internet marketing professional, then call yourself one, and not a newbie or nube.

Sure you are an Internet marketing beginner, but you’ll feel better about yourself if you list your credentials in your own head as professional. Let your beginning level competition wallow in the newbie stuff. You’re too busy being the pro.
