How to become an authority in internet marketing

Well. i beg to differ. To get the knowledge, you need time... You need to acquire material that is relevant to your industry. If everything was given for free we would all have the "knowledge" that we need.

The best materials are not always for free man.. You have to invest in yourself, in both time and money. It might not cost much but still, it cost something.

Everything that's for "free" in the internet is accessible to everyone and thus you wont really be saying/giving people anything new.

The policy as you said has always been Learn-Do-Teach

Thanks.

Not exactly. If your information is valuable, you are not faking anything.

Imagine this. You start out with a little group of people who know very little. You go out and do the work to learn something they need to know, and you come back and tell them.

Continue this, and your little group of people will begin to know more. You hjaven't faked anything. You've actually gone and done the work - and you've brought it back to them.

Now they know it. That makes them a little better, and you in turn are continuing to do the work and the research.

You grow. Your followers grow. More people see that your followers are growing and improving. They join your group. It gets larger.

You don't have to be famous or rich or already established. And you don't have to tell people you are. Tell them the truth: that you're doing this thing and you learned this stuff and hey, maybe they'd like to know it too.

As you collect more and more stuff, you gather it into thematically-related packages and charge money for them.

Keep cycling through this, and you end up with a massive following. You've never faked anything. You've never told a lie. You've never told your followers anything stupid or that you pulled out of your bunghole.

The idea that you have to go off and pay your dues first is simply not accurate. You don't have to. You just have to operate with integrity and honesty.

Now, if you're a lying sack of crap, you could easily do something similar where you give people worthless information and then go "ooh, the market has changed, you have to do this instead" and turn around to sell more worthless information. Then you never have to learn anything! You can just sell lies to idiots and make a pretty good living. Lots of people do it.

The question is whether that's the busness you want to be in. Anything you can do honestly and ethically, you can do dishonestly and unethically every bit as well - except you'll be able to do it faster and easier and probably make more money.

Dosn't change the fact that the method works honestly and ethically, too. Everything that works can be used for good, or for evil. The choice is yours.

To become an authority you should practise what you are teaching and get results.

To be an authority you do need to be able to provide high quality information and solutions, but you also NEED great marketing (a brand with a good usp that gets lots of exposure) and great sales copy.

It takes either time or money, but as long as you keep pushing your brand, continuously getting it in front of your target market, continuously growing and improving, and you focus on providing high quality and high converting copy, you will become an authority.
