Internet Marketing Gurus – Don’t You Just Hate Them!

Hi there

I don’t know about you but everyone seems to be an ‘Expert’ or ‘Guru’ these days. And certainly there’s nowhere more prevalent than the Internet marketing arena. Go to any Internet marketing seminar or workshop and sometimes there almost seems more ‘gurus’ than attendees.Then you spy something on the internet, sign up for a free internet marketing report and suddenly you start to get emails from Experts in every sphere of Internet marketing.

I actually find it quite funny because if you take a sec and read some of them, its just so obvious a} all they want to do is sell you something and b} their knowledge base is in many instances sadly lacking & hey that’s coming from me who’s still pretty new to the whole IM, information publishing business. So my next real pointer for is ….

Put Your Trust In Those Who Have EARNED It, And ONLY Those Who Have Earned It.

If you are, or have been, a previous customer or subscriber, to a certain person who does business on line and have had satisfactory results, stay with them. They will continue to strive to keep you a happy customer throughout the course of your association with them.

For me I’ve have met many on line gurus at various seminars, some we have bought products from, and then some we haven’t. Some have delivered on their promises others not but to be honest we all make mistakes and unfortunately you can’t always tell until after the event.

Our advice stand back and play a ‘watch & wait’ game. Again visit the forums see who’s getting rated and slated and then try & target those that through word of mouth are getting rated for their information, help or advice you need – lets be honest here you need to get the right information for the level of expertise you have, if your new to Internet marketing and information publishing an advanced course on SEO is going to be beyond you knowledge to date.

Top Tip

Learning a new business is just like building a house without the proper foundations you’re nowhere. Learn the basics brick by brick, yep I know its boring & time consuming but without that you’ll fail.

And try not to get side-tracked there’s no doubt that learning the basics can be hard but you have to get stuck in, try all the elements, article marketing, link exchange, blogging, FTPing, putting up a website etc, pop ups, pop overs – you’ll find by playing around with all these elements, practice does at least go some way to being perfect.

By doing so you’ll be helping yourself & others
