Any threads for Newbies?

Well Holy Palooka!! I must admit I hadn't discovered that resource myself - newbies or no, that's a great section for just about anyone who doesn't already know everything about everything. So thanks for that, JDArchitecture

But listen, LC - you've just joined the Warrior Forum this month I see, so no wonder you are feeling overwhelmed.
Be patient with yourself, and with the forum, and pieces of the jigsaw will start to join up

I'm not aware of any definitive guides to all the terminology - but don't worry about that. You will assimilate gradually. JD's recommendation above is clearly a boon. The other one being the War Room - quite a few things on offer there to help newbies.

Above all you will learn most by DOING, and failing. Much more important than knowledge is getting your juices flowing! You begin to understand what you NEED to know as you go along, and learn to funnel the info overload into what will be useful to YOU.

Start doing something simple, specific and focused -- and designed to make money. Get yourself a simple easy to understand guide to a very specific method of making money. Anything you don't understand about that specific procedure is what will be useful do you. You are told you need to do ABCDEFG. But you don't know but B is and you don't know what E is. So great - THAT's what you need to find out. Don't get concerned about anything else.

You can ask as many questions as you like on the forum. People here love specific questions. They hate "hey, how do you guys make money?" Start a notebook and keep notes.

Look through the threads every day and see what everybody else is asking. Some threads will be waaaay over your head - (mine too:confused . Skip 'em. All you are looking for is what's useful to get you from A to G in your current project.

Where to get your "easy to understand guide?"
First try all the resources mentioned above.
Next I would say the WSO - Warrior Special Offers section. You can get amazing value for money, and it can be incredibly helpful, though a bit of a minefield!

You are not likely to get out-and-out conned, that is not what I mean - WSO's are very well monitored by the Moderators. But remember that all the offers are being made by MARKETERS and so everything will sound like it is the answer to your prayers. But not everything will be suitable for YOU.
So apply the following filters:

1. Look for something that is specific and simple. Make sure the offer states outright that it is suitable for absolute newbies.

2. Look through the comments below the offer and and only consider offers which are heartily endorsed by a good number of the major respected players on this forum - you won't know them all by sight yet, but high post counts, and longevity are good indicators. These people do not endorse WSO's or their authors without basis. Also again you can look for some confirmation in the comments that it is indeed suitable for newbies.

3. Look for the product owner's presence in the comments section, too - are they answering everyone's queries promptly and succinctly? Chances are they will offer great customer support as well.

4. Avoid those making extravagant income claims, especially if they are also accompanied by claims of "zero effort" or similar! But you knew that already, didn't you!!?

5. (THIS IS THE BIGGEST PITFALL) DON'T become a WSO addict. Most people buy one after another after another looking for a magic pushbutton formula. In reality the best systems will always require some hard graft, and if you are not prepared to see it through, you won't ever benefit from being here at all. So take what you've bought and see it through from beginning to end. If anything is unclear you are perfectly within your rights to contact the author and ask about it.

If you get something like that and see it through, chances are you won't come out rich, but you will make money, and with that comes a buttload of confidence that you never knew you had!. You also won't come out knowing all there is to know - but you'll come out with a better idea of what you need to know.


Hope all this helps a little -- I've been careful to speak only from experience here!!

I wish you the best
Ken

That's a great little trick I did not know, and very useful! Thanks so much for posting it.

Hi LC,

I've actually made a couple rather lengthy posts about how beginners can get started with the whole IM game. I'll link you to them, and the reason is because not only are they for people just starting out, but they're both methods you can et off the ground in under a week for under $10, so they're definitely worth checking out (to me):

http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...rst-100-a.html

http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...w-5-steps.html

Both are blueprints I personally use to make money online.

In addition to those, there are new threads on how beginners can make money online popping up seemingly every day. I'd recommend checking out some methods, seeing what seems doable, them just jump into it. Don't overanalyze things, just move

LC thanks for your thanks, but it must have been the late hour, I don't know what I was thinking when I said there was no definitive guide on IM terms -- there are actually a number of online resources which are excellent, and one of which I use all the time:

Internet Marketing Glossary

Internet Marketing Dictionary (that's the one I like)

In fact I am going to post them in the main forum for all to see, because I know there are a lot of bewildered folks out there.

cheers
Ken
