A good idea? I need opinions.

I think its a good idea and it wont be a nonsense site since especially for newbies in this field.

I like it, as long as it was organized and easy to find the tutorial information. I would say most of that information could be found on WF with a few minutes of searching, but most people, especially newbies getting into IM because of the promises of easy money, don't want to put that much work into finding the information.

Victoria,
I've seen membership sites like this, so I know it can be successful. One thing you might want to do is to target it for a particular type of new marketer. A niche within a big niche.

The price really depends on how well you can convince a new marketer that your service is worth much more than the price. While I am sure you can easily offer more than $100 value, you might have a hard time convincing the new marketer of that. But you might want to test the price.

I wish you success.

I would just advise to give as much info as you can (still keeping it learner-friendly), because sooooo much can be found for free online. Just because someone is new to internet marketing, doesn't mean they are new to the internet, and they may know that they can find all the basics online for free.

That's very good idea, if I am reading you right.


If you have a talent for making things simple, I think you would have a winner.


Good Luck

Jim

I agree with all of you that the information can indeed be easily found online but some people don't know where to look and I remember thinking.. what actually works and whats just hype.. to newbies "SEO and SEM" are like another language and setting up websites sounds SO HARD. It's simple for us.. but remember even tiny things like knowing blogs can usually be set up easily through your web host is all new to them.. let alone adding templates or applications.

Basic step-by-step of everything from buying domains to creating websites and blogs, uploading them various ways, probably also the basics of making Facebook business pages and twitter accounts and linking those to your websites/blogs. Probably also as I said basic techniques for affiliates like using long-tail keywords. Setting up accounts with Amazon.com, Clickbank, Paydotcom, and others.

So basic but still a LOT of good information... especially if your just getting your feet wet. I am an excellent writer so my copy will explain all of this, and I may do some sort of official launch for this because its a ton of work honestly which is why I needed opinions. I have learned so much over the years I figure its got to be worth something plus its not a hyped-up product and has longevity potential.

Hi, I think this is great. It is how I have started out and indeed I truly believe that this is the ONLY way to start a network marketing business. Show others the way. The only problems that need to be addressed (in my mind) are these: turn key marketing sites versus own sites (expertese). Recognizing hype from fact (education). Learning e-mail advertising (skill). Developing video marketing (skill). Developing/joining a powerful downline builder, that allows ownership of the mail addresses, or at least allows you to post unrestricted mailings to your downline.

There are more and more, 'marketing' sites popping up to teach newbies, how to build an online business, the main fault of these are that they concentrate yet again, on making money for the site owner/operator! Ie: there is little to no real support, the site is created but never seems 'progressive', it rarely changes with trends, it becomes no more than a sales page, great for attracting new prospects, but little to encourage existing members to continue promoting the turn key site.

Which is why 'the challenge' concept is so good. If this is 're-created' with lots of support, then I cannot see such a site doing anything but winning. However, I cannot also see that it would be easy to do, it is a little bit like following in the footsteps of giants. Maybe there is a similar idea out there somewhere, but with a 'special' twist?

There will always be new people to Internet marketing, but the approach to guiding and training must develop with new ideas, new products, new initiatives or it will simply become a re-hash of past happenings.

The latest site that I have noticied, offers free training/coaching to beginners, it stresses the complete lack of skill required to make money, once you join, you are told to take this one step at a time, or you risk 'destroying' the opportunity, a bit further along, after becoming completely 'hyped up', I was very disappointed to learn that I was simply being pressed into joining another 'coaching' program, the real pity here, is that I honestly believe the coaching program being advertised is genuine, and a good value for money, but what lets down the whole concept, is what I felt was a 'lie' - being lead deliberately by a promise of 'freedom' to be told a bit later on that the price of 'freedom' is actually over $50 a month! If this had been posted on the first sales page, yes, it would turn 'buyers' away, but at least the people who do take it up, are all going to be 110% willing to make it work!

I shall now climb down from my soap-box,

Thank you for listening!

Yes i think its a great idea especially for newbies.

Wish you all the best

Hi Victoria, I'm in fact doing exactly that myself with my 8 Step by Step online course

My opinion, go for it, it's really an enriching experience teaching others.

I was just thinking, PM me and I'll suggest more of what you need to do.

Take care,

I do think it's a good idea and I would refer people to it. I'm constantly trying to get my friends or relatives interested in IM, but they just don't have any basics to begin with, so a site with everything starting from the beginning would be nice.

hello victory,

i also think there are already sites like this but i also think good sites are still rare and lots of scams are around. i´d definitely join for the community and maybe fun, for good information and all this packed in a good price. lots of work though you want to put on your shoulders.

It's funny you should mention this, I was cruising the WSO section today and came across Paul Barrs' free WSO promoting his new membership site. It's really very well done and you should definitely take a peek to get some ideas. But, to answer your original section, yes! I would have loved something like this when I started out in IM.

Great idea and yes there are some really good forum sites out there specifically for newbies and there is one paid one that offers EXCEPTIONAL value for money. It is where I cut my teeth and I will never leave this site despite moving on in my knowledge, learning and earning levels.

WOuld you not consider rather than a one-off fee you ask for a monthly subscription and that way it keeps you on your toes also to keep adding new and current content?

I wish you all the best for this, it is something that is needed and you seem to have knowledge in lots of areas so why not share that?

Hey Victoria,

I think this is a great idea!!!! if you launch the site please let me know.

I think you have a great idea, as a matter of fact, I visit one site on a regular basis called "2createawebsite" run by a lady named Lisa and her site helps out people who are new to Internet Marketing. I really believe you will pick up some good ideas from her website and her blog. The way Lisa has structured her site layout and blog is incredible and easy to navigate for newbies. Hope this helps out

Anytime you can simplify complex things for people, you have a winner.

People will pay to access easy-to-digest information.

Perfect Idea especially for those who find the internet far and wide-I wish you luck
