Web Gurus This is inspired by an email that was in my inbox today from one of the gurus that I follow - Dr Bob Clarke. There are basically three ways to learn about online business:- 1. Pay for training The best way but expensive. Some of the material out there might be less than good value for money and it is hard to know where to look, and with so much choice hard to decide where to spend your hard-earned cash. 2. Read and Research Also effective and mostly free but time consuming. Time is money. 3. Follow The Leader. This is the middle way, but probably the most effective. I follow quite a number of "gurus", but not slavishly, and there are too many to be doing nothing else but reading their stuff. But I do have a core group of 4 or 5 that I love getting emails from. They are pretty self less people who give away huge amounts of free advice and refer me to great sites where I always learn something new. There are probably many hundreds more and when I come across them, I'll let you know. The beauty of following these obviously successful people is that they will direct us to the courses and webinars and mastermind groups that are worth paying money for, when we are ready. There are the big names of the Internet, such as Seth Godin, Neil Patel, Danny Iny, Jeff Bullas (Australian blogger) and Jon Morrow from Copyblogger There are commercial organisations where you can get tons of great FREE material - to name a couple - HubSpot, Digital Marketer, Huffington Post, Forbes My favourites (and they won't necessarily be yours) are: Dr Bob and Rosemary Clarke - Bob is still practising his profession more or less full time and running a successful internet business and his advice is regular, free, on the money and useful as he usually points you to other great sources of knowledge - http://BobandRosemary.com Dianne Hochman - Diane builds a huge internet business purely on her personality and her material is always down to earth - www.dianehochman.com Pat Flynn - again, good commonsense material and even if you read between the lines of his ads for his paid material, you will pick out gems - www.smartpassiveincome.com Frank Jones - sells a lot of software but gives a lot away, too and very down to earth info - www.frankjones.net (and others) My core group will not necessarily resonate with you and you need to go searching for your own. One great way that I found was to go to Danny Iny's website - https://mirasee.com/how-we-help/ and download a free copy of his book "Engagement from Scratch"- it is a collection of articles from over 30 of the best known bloggers and content marketers on the web - it was responsible for one of my first "lightbulb" moments in internet marketing and introduced me to some of these gurus. One suggestion - set up a gmail account specially for these guys and join as many lists as you can - then unsubscribe from the ones that you don't relate to. As the mail won't be clogging up your inbox, you can read the material or delete it at your leisure - I set up gmail accounts and then use Mozilla Thunderbird as my mail browser - you can have as many mail accounts downloading on Thunderbird as you want and all you have to do is click <File - New - Existing Mail Account> and it will open a screen where you enter your name, the email address that you set up in gmail and your password - Thunderbird does the rest and you will have it on your desktop, rather than having to open a Gmail browser window everytime that you want to log in. Well - I did start by saying "short and sharp" because I was writing this on the bus, but I got a bit carried away. Hope this is all of value to you. As always, let's have your comments (I'm adding this to the blog) and feedback Here's to Your Success! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As always Go to the Free E-Books Tab and check out the offers - there will be more coming in the next week or so - my DAY JOB is getting in the way!
