What is the best way to learn? In a classroom? Reading a book? Watching a video? Listening to an audio? All of these learning methodologies have their place. There really is no one best method. Everyone learns differently.
That said, the one sure-fire way to learn is through repetition. As you take in the same information over and over again, you can begin to make sense of the data. Once you begin to truly understand the message, then you can begin to think of interesting ways to apply the new information to your own life, or to your own business.
If you are trying to make a living as an Internet Marketer, you know there are TONS of information for sale. That is not the problem. The problem is separating the really important stuff from the not-so-important. As a businessperson, you know the one critical limitation to success is time. There are only so many hours in the day. You cannot afford to waste them wading through piles of data looking for the true “golden nuggets”.
The most successful Internet Marketers, such as Mike Filsaime, Rich Schefren, Jeff Walker, Liz Tomey, and Frank Kern know this. A vital part of their overall business strategy (you DO have one, right?) to save time, and cut through the clutter, is their ‘Virtual Network’. You can bet that they have each other (and more) on speed dial; so if they have an idea, or a problem, or a question, they can pretty much get it answered right away.
Most of the rest of us do not have that luxury. So how can we get access to their network? Well, you could buy most of their products (if you are rich), or you could go to all of their seminars (if you are even richer), and stand in line to get a few precious moments of their wisdom.
OR, you could start your own Virtual Network. You can have access to the wisdom of the ‘masters’ day and night – anytime you want – without paying a fortune. Find ways to collect the knowledge of the very best and most successful marketers, and you will be well on the way to success and long-lasting profits.
What is not very well known (and probably not known in the Internet Marketing community at all), is that knowledge really has two facets; Explicit and Tacit.
“Explicit Knowledge” is the ‘what’ – the SEO knowledge; the Product Launch knowledge; the Traffic Building knowledge, etc. “Tacit Knowledge” is the ‘how’ – how a particular decision was made; the personal history and thinking behind a certain approach; the network the experts may use, and so on. You need to get the ‘gurus’ to share not only their expertise, but even how they think.
In my off-line work as a Certified Professional Management Consultant, one of the areas that I am a ’world-class’ expert in is Knowledge Transfer. No one else on the ‘Net’ knows how to do interviews that will get at both the Explicit and Tacit knowledge.
