learning through the journey
Gosh its been too long since my last blog!
I can tell you that from a non technical background all this IT and Google this and Google that and all sorts of other distractions. My learning experience has to date been huge! and I mean huge! and to be honest (which is what I am about all the time and even to the point of being accused of being to transparent), but for me it is refreshing when you meet someone else who holds to those ideals!
Well what has happened since I blogged last. Well for a start I found the Rich Jerk stuff and got this blog site from him/them/her who ever!. I was looking for some education packages and I found that RJ (Rich Jerk) had a good video tutorial on how to set up a website with products etc on it. I had no idea what to do so I brought the package paid 1year in advanced to a hosting company and got this website. I started watching the videos and learn’ t a bit about how to set this up. I still have not finished watching all the videos but will get back to it. Even with the videos I still had a lot of questions and no one to talk to about them other than sign up to the real money maker from Rich Jerk where they offer a mentor ship program and probably quiet good I would imagine but for around 5k USD I think not! after being ripped off 100k NZD just recently in a website business that was run by a narcissistic sociopath (found out after!) I am still gun shy to hand over large amounts of money.
Un knowingly one of my brothers was also making some changes to his business direction (insurance and mortgages company 15yrs). My brother Sean has a real aptitude for IT stuff and now we have joint ventured and started our own web development company at www.marketwinners.co.nz and to boot set up a hosting company at www.bigplans.co.nz
So another change in the mix although still staying within the internet for business opportunities.
I found a couple of companies that I think can help newbies and will keep you posted here shortly so feel free to sign up and even make a comment. It would be nice to know that someone is on the same journey and that we are not all experts at what we do. However in saying that I have always had an attitude that if you are in something “GET IN IT” otherwise if you hold to the same ideals as me you would not be true to yourself.
If anything the appeal to develop an affiliate marketing venture has grown and so I have recently brought another learning package that deals more about internet marketing rather than technical and products. I really like this one and think that this would be a must for most beginners but a little more time to spend on this first as I WILL NOT make any recommendations for any products until I understand what they can do and how to apply the knowledge and to whom the product would suit best. No point in buying a Mercedes when you need a tractor is there!
Stay tuned and like I said, send me an email or comment on this blog.
