will call myself a "Newbie" as I am new to all the new methods of marketing, having been initiated in the "old school" techniques. And I must say that every morning I should don my war paint and cammo gear and pick up my heavily armed wits. Don't get me wrong I love what I do but it is a battlefield of all these "systems" vying for you attention and your email address. It is a bit like mining for gold! Hard work for often little reward.

I am not a guru or some marketing genius.... yet. But in all that information that I signed up to receive in my mail box I have learnt alot. Yes most of them are trying to sell you something but you keep sifting through it all and finding little shinny fragments that have value (the gold!)

I have my fingers in the whole marketing pie, affiliate, network, mlm etc so I get emails covering a huge specrta of information. I pretty much signed up for every ezine and free course I could, I did, I think I have hit the inbox limit now lol. It was an obsession, soaking up every little piece of information I could.

And for a long while I wondered if I was wasting my time with it all. Until I watched Mike Dillards magnetic sponsoring boot camp videos, where he comfirms that learning everything you can in any way you can is what will make you a valuable source to others. Now I haven't read Magnetic Sponsoring yet, but it is on my list of "to read" books. The brain can only take so much information at once, it's a bit overloaded atm.

So my little piece of advice to my fellow newbies is stick with it, keep signing up for all the free information you can, read it, watch it and soak it up. Play with the stuff you learn. There are heaps of ebooks out there too that are helpfull and alot of these you can get cheap, I know cos I sell them on Oztion. I even give alot of them away to my list members just because I know that in this game the learning really never stops.

Wishing you all success
