"Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence." ~ Abigail Adams
I think one of the hardest things for Internet Business Newbies is digesting all of the information that they find, read, watch, and hear. Just getting started can be a task when you are not even sure what half the stuff you are reading even means. One of the things I always recommend to anyone starting out with Internet Business is to take a few weeks to learn as much as you can and become familiar with some of the big players and the common terminology used. Just getting the basic vocabulary down will help you tremendously and will make it so much easier to locate more information and useful tips that you can apply to your business.
Where To Look
There are so many great sources of information out there on Internet Business and some not-so-great sources. Luckily for you, I have wasted all my time weeding through it so you don't have to. Here are some places you can go to get started on your lessons.
1. iTunes - iTunes has some really great podcasts on Internet Business and Marketing. Even if you don't have an iPod you can still listen online. If you do have an iPod even better! I use to have an hour drive back and forth from work and I would use this time to listen to the podcasts I had found in iTunes. It made my commute fly by and I was learning as I drove! Win/Win!
If you are not familiar with locating podcasts in iTunes, Butterscotch.com has made this quick tutorial which can walk you through the process. If you don't already have it, you can download iTunes for free HERE.
One podcast that I highly recommend is Internet Business Mastery. This is run by Sterling and Jay who have both escaped their cubicle and designed their dream lifestyles. They offer many great business tips and their podcast is one of the most professional ones I have found. Look around and you will find there really is some great content on there.
NEWBIE TIP: Be sure to check the dates of the podcasts. If you see that one has not been made in awhile, you may want to avoid it. The content may be old and have no current relevance or it may just be poor content.
2. Blog Talk Radio - BTL has created a format that makes it very easy to set up and distribute podcasts. This is both good AND bad. Good because it gives many talented people a platform to showcase their wares and get their information out to the world. Bad, because it makes it very easy for ANYONE to upload content. I would proceed here with caution and follow the same rule as above. If the content is old, just look for something a bit more recent. You can find their site HERE. Some good hosts are Bob The Teacher, Willie Crawford, and Steve Weber. Just look around. There is quite a bit of talent on there.
3. YouTube - I am the type of person that learns much faster by watching than by reading. I think that is why YouTube is one of my favorite places to gain new information. There are literally millions of videos on there that can show you everything from setting up a new blog to creating a eBook. YouTube has probably been one of the most useful learning tools I have found for myself on the web. I highly recommend it and I hope you will take some time to use it as well. You can link to it HERE.
4. Blogs - Blogs are great for so many reasons. They are so versatile and you can find one on just about any subject on the planet. If you want to find some really good Internet Business tips and information check out some of the blogs at WordPress and Blogger. These are two of the bigger sites and will hold most of the content. Just so a quick search for Internet Marketing or Internet Business and you will find a host of blogs to search through.
I think that should get you started. Check back often for more great tips and make time each day to learn a little more than you know today! Soon you will be on your way!
