So you’re new to the internet, and want to learn everything you can about internet marketing.  Or at least the essential basics.  And you want places to go to find the answers to all of your questions?

As far as we know, there IS no other one-stop source to learning the essential internet and marketing skills, apart from some expensive courses. Newbies On The Net has been specifically put together to fill that gap.

Like everyone else, I started out with absolutely NO computer knowledge at all.  Went to chat rooms, talked with people, got some contacts, then one day I got a junk mail full of hype (that I believed...hehehe) and promptly started joining affiliate programs.  Myself and Neil (husband and business partner)  joined this one, that one and the other one, all full of promises that we’d be mega-rich within a few months.  Being newbies, we swallowed it all.  Hook, line and sinker. None of it ever panned out right though.  Surprise!

We lost some money, not huge amounts, but more than we’d care to remember, so we stopped spending and started looking for free stuff.  And we're going to show you exactly what we found... and where you can get it too.

Now... there are a number of "skills" needed for anybody wanting to run their own online business from home... wanting to be an online marketer.

Firstly, you need a touch of "blindness" so you don’t even LOOK at all the hype, because if it LOOKS too good to be true, then it more than likely is.

You need deep concentration, and dedication, to help you stick with one thing, and you need to be able to work really hard at getting that one thing to work.  Your free club report "Focus!" will go a long way to helping you do this.

You also need a padlock on your wallet.  It's real easy to buy into this, that and the other program, and before you know it, you’ve used a LOT more money than you can afford to lose. There’s always a risk that any money you use could be lost forever, so always keep that in mind.  Not everyone gives you the sort of guarantee that you'll find here at "Newbies".... Ours states quite clearly "If It Doesn't Work For You... It's Free!"

As for computer jargon, we’ve been online for years now, and we're STILL learning.  And that's why we're constantly adding to our "ABCsOnTheNet". 

When it comes to suggesting a starting point, that’s a real hard one.  But I think it would have to be chatrooms.  Without the friends that we’ve met in chatrooms, we wouldn’t be where we are today.   So I’d say THE most important thing when it comes to marketing is your contacts.  Get as many contacts as you can, and learn from their mistakes.  Believe it or not... many of the good guys online are willing to share the mistakes they've made, so that you don't have to.

Why not help us start off our brand new NewbiesChatroom.  Registering is simple and then you can join in discussions, ask questions and help others when you can.  C.netNewbies and vbCity are two other Newbies resources you could try. 

Also, read everything you can that’s relative to what you want to do.  But only do that after you've researched and decided on your niche.  Even having defined that, you’ll still suffer a little from information overload, there’s no doubt about that.  But some of the stuff WILL stick in your head... and that means that you're on your way!  

If you find a newsletter you've signed up for isn’t giving you the information you need, un-subscribe and move on to the next one. There’s hundreds of thousands of them out there to choose from.  Just don’t subscribe to too many at once, or you’ll be so inundated with emails that you will end up not reading any of them. 

Or, keep it simple!  Just stick with your Newbies Club Member mailings... we'll bring you the latest news from around the net as well as the four or five free information or marketing products each and every month.

Read, read, read, and read some more. Take all promises of "instant wealth" with a pound of salt. (A pinch isn’t enough). 

Question everything that seems to "over-promise". 

Learn as much as you can before starting out, be prepared, and remember:

There are no stupid questions, just stupid answers!

Keep asking!
