Even the best Internet marketing training can be overwhelming for beginners at first.  I remember feeling this way and thinking, “where do I start! and what do I do? I wondered, how will I know what the best Internet marketing training is and how do I find it!  I can’t over emphasize the value of training.  Quality training focuses on the basics and should include action based plans with step by step instruction.  I found this process invaluable because it forced me to take action.  Taking action is the only way to success.  You can read and be exposed to the best marketing information out there but unless you do something with it, it means nothing.  Education along with a how-to plan are essential when choosing training.  This worked for me because I learn much quicker if I am able to put into action what I have just read.

     Learning how to become a successful Internet marketer is like learning anything else.  You have to put the time into learning the basics and practice what you learn to get better at it.  We all first had to learn the alphabet before we could write. Right? Could you imagine your 1st grade teacher instructing you to write if you didn’t know the alphabet?  I know this sounds absurd but this is what poorly designed online marketing training does.  It’s not a wonder so many people fail at Internet marketing. The right training will help you avoid the common pitfalls of internet marketing failure and succeed.

     Some of the main components of the best internet marketing training are finding a niche, researching your niche, keywords, article marketing, writing articles, creating your first website, creating a blog, using WordPress, building links,  free marketing techniques, paid marketing techniques and using affiliate networks.  This is just the tip of the iceberg, but these are some of the basics things you want to focus on as a beginner.  If you can master most of these you will be on your way to success. 

     If you are serious about making money as an online marketer your first step is to decide on the best internet marketing training program.  Beware of programs that promise to make you a millionaire overnight or that have hidden fees.  Do your research first and be sure you understand what you are getting into.  There are literally thousands, if not millions of training programs available, so choosing can be very confusing.  Getting a referral from a trusted person is also a good idea when deciding the best internet marketing training for you.  Suitable training doesn’t have to cost a lot.  In fact there are many that offer free start up programs.   Whether you decide on a free start up program or become a member, make sure the training covers the essentials.  

  Training Program Essentials
1. Fundamentals of various Internet marketing related topics. 
2. Setting realistic goals
3. Setting tasks
4. Action plans
5.  Support
6.  Tools and resources
7. Expertise in field

     If you are truly motivated to learn you can become a profitable marketer.  Applying the principles you learn is one of the keys to success.  Do know that at the start you may feel a bit confused and frustrated and this is OK.  Everyone feels this in the beginning of learning something new.  The key is to push through this uncertainty, ask questions and ask for help.  You don’t have to do this alone!  This is why support is very important when choosing your training program or school. 

 My first training course was free and offered all the tools and resources I needed and most importantly had a great support system.  Support came from experts in internet marketing with proven success.  It also connected me to others just like me, starting out and asking the same type of questions.  This was comforting as I didn’t feel embarrassed to ask, what I thought, were silly questions.  Good support can make or break your experience.  Think about how you work, your personality and what you need when deciding on what the best internet marketing training is suited for you.

 Start out slow, do some research, get a referral, if you can, and take advantage of some of the free trainings available.  Down the road you may want to join a paid training community. This is the path I took and I highly recommend it to everyone starting out.  Go get the training you need to make your dreams happen!
