Learn Marketing Techniques
In all my answers to them, I've never failed to mention the most important source of information. That is forums. There are multitudes of books on the subject of marketing. Within marketing, there are so many niches: SEO, White hat, black hat, social bookmark, articles, bum marketing etc etc. In each of them, you'll never fail to find some known gurus who are well known experts on the subject. To learn from them equates to spending a sum of money to buy their books/product. This often poses 2 problems 1) Who are the real expert ( everyone claims they're the guru) 2) How many products can you actually buy 3) How up to date are the products that you buy ( most quality books take a few month to produce)
This is why I always suggest all newbies or otherwise to actively participate in forums. What people don't realize is the online community, although filled with fraud, are also filled with kind seniors who are very willing to lend a helping hand. While it is unlikely to find someone who will slowly talk through a huge topic with you, it is a good place for simple Q&A. A few things that I always do myself are the following
1) Ask for product review. Before I want to buy a book/script or other products, I'll post a thread asking " have anyone tried XXX" Invariably, you'll get many good and bad comments. No products in this will is perfect, but at least you can see the benefits and flaws of the product
2) Ask Technical Questions I'm a poor programmer and I often run into technical issues on PHP and mySQL. I'll then go to the forum and ask for help. And guess what, that probably saved me hundreds of dollars from paying programmers
3) Looking for testimonials. When I'm preparing to launch my own product, I would certainly go to a forum to ask for people to review my product. This way, I can make sure that my product is as good as it can get before launch. Along the way, you are sure to pick up good testimonials in which you can post in your sales page.
4) Making friends Like in all businesses, networking is really important. You can find JV partners, business partners and just good friends in general. This is the biggest perk.
So, if you're still lost, look for the answer in a forum.
