Network Marketing Education--A Problem

I bet you didn’t see that one coming; problems with Network marketing education? Come on, that’s the one point we never stop making; education is critical to our success. Where is the danger?

Well there are dangers.

There are dangers in the wrong kind of education

In fact there are many network marketing philosophies on the Internet. Attraction marketing is my favorite but by no means the only thing available to study. Consider telephone skills; I know one lady who is indescribably effective in this area and provides many tools to teach you how to be effective as well. Then there are mailing lists you can purchase and call or mail to. And don’t forget the quality education available on how to sit down one on one and make a “presentation.” With that course comes all the needed instructions on how to get people to sit down with you in the first place.

Dangers in the amount of education

Just how much education do you need to get moving in Internet marketing? There are courses on most any subject you can imagine and, according to the gurus in that industry; you simply can’t make it unless you master their field of expertise. So, they have courses to sell you. And those courses suggest other courses which in turn…. Well you get the point. Take copy writing for instance; here is a field that could take years of study and coaching before you could consider yourself “ready” to market or employ your skills in the real world. Do you have years? No, you do not. This is also true of computer “programming.” Are you a first rate programmer? Probably you aren’t. Would it “help” if you were? Yes, of course it would. So, what is the right amount? When do you get adequately educated to step out and actually do it?

Dangers in the variety of education options

There are a great many ways to study. There are home study courses for instance. Certain college courses are valuable. Online video courses are probably the most popular thing going now, having recently replaced the audio courses so fashionable just a few months ago. And having said this, let’s not forget the $2,000 seminars guaranteed to change your life, which in three months you will be able to buy on CD for $200.

In addition, we must ask ourselves what to study. It seems like web programming might be valuable. Video creation and marketing are big now. Copy writing is always important. And the list goes on.

In Conclusion

What is my recommendation? I suggest you get in touch with one and only one successful Internet marketing coach doing online education. Follow the plan marked out by this one person to the tee. I’m particularly fond of Renegade University. But whichever one you use, be a faithful student. Don’t skip anything. Don’t do “your thing.” Remember, they are the experts. This plan limits your education to what is most essential in getting you into the money now. There will be time and a need to expand the knowledge base later. But for now, focus on one plan and stay faithful to it till completion. If you do, I’m thinking you will be a success in Internet marketing.
