You know more than you think you know. The 3 types of newbies

Even if you still consider yourself a 'newbie', figuring out what you do know and what you don't know can help you move 'Beyond The Newbie Line'

The Business Newbie- The business newbie needs to learn the organization structure of his business, it's model, it's organizational plan, it's marketing plan, it's finance plan and it's plans for future growth. The business newbie needs to learn how to assess it's assets and liabilities, and effectively plan to use it's assets for producing profits and how to offset it's liabilities. Moreover, "The Business Newbie" has to learn about 'leverage.'


The Tech Newbie- The tech newbie needs to learn things like how to zip and unzip files, how to build a website, how to do basic one page SEO, how to do at least basic graphics, how to use an FTP client, how to use email and bookmarks, spreadsheets, auto responders, document and spreadsheet programs, presentation programs. The tech newbie needs to know the basics of making and editing videos, how to set up domain names and hosting account. The tech newbie needs to know how to understand the features of a c-panel such as the file manager, web mail, add-on domains, sub-domains, c-panel redirects.


The Marketing Newbie- The marketing newbie needs to know how to find a market that is in demand and spends money (niche research), how they shop for what they want (keyword research), how much they are willing to spend (demographic research), and how to craft compelling marketing messages like sales letters, articles, videos, press releases, blog posts, auction listings, and classified ads. The marketing newbie must know how to cultivate relationships with their clientele through things like social networking, social media, forums, blog, and other related sites.


Once you master just one of these 'types' you'll have something you can sell to finance the time and cost of either learning or outsourcing the other two.
