Internet Marketing School

The point is no matter what is you want to do in life, you have to first learn the fundamentals. You have first learn the basics.

Agreed, and for the majority of folks who come to newbie oriented webmaster forums like this, the basics are...

Content.

Links.

Persistence.

Most readers here will succeed or fail based on their ability to manage their motivation over time. The real action is on our side of the monitor, not on the Net.

As example, what service is Lynn selling on this site? All the technology and tactics information she has to share has already been published on the web a thousand times, for free.

Lynn's Elite Club is popular with members here because the setting she's created helps users manage their motivation levels.

Content, links and persistence. Master those three things and you'll have an audience, and an income.

Most readers here would be better off if they pulled the plug on their net connection for a couple months, and focused on writing lots of great articles.

Speaking of which, time to get back to work...

Now that's something we can agree on.

Wow I missed a great conversation over the last few days!

What do you want to do online? Do you have any kind of idea? If yes, you might get a lot better return on your time investment by focusing in a particular area.

@Engage - While being a marketing consultant definitely interests me and maybe that will surface in the long run but for now I'd really like to work on an enterprise team or SEO firm. I think taking this course may give me an edge in getting there. Of course I'll still experiment with my own projects. Success is different to everyone.

So would most of you be hesitant with the course itself, the price, or both?

Thanks everyone!

Ok, I see. If your goal is getting a job, and you don't currently have any significant experience you can sell to employers, a school experience of some kind seems sensible place to start.

Having a job as a goal is a pretty good plan really. Many people will struggle with online self employment for years before being able to bring home the equivalent of a full time pay check.

If you can find an entry level position with a real (if modest) paycheck, and work your way up, that could be a faster track to making a living on the Net.

I'm sorry, I know nothing about the particular school you are referencing. Seeking out former grads could be a plan?

Best of luck!
