What is a good resource to learn internet marketing?

I’m looking to start an online business and want to learn more about internet marketing, what’s a good resource for this?

This is a great question and one that’s often asked. While there are TONS of resources online stick with reputable programs. Sure you can learn stuff from people who say they’re experts but they may teach methods that are considered ‘blackhat’ (tactics that the search engines may penalize you for).

A highly recommended program is from the University of San Francisco who offers internet marketing training. Here’s the link to the list of courses that are available.

For more recommendations on this course check out LinkedIn and there’s usually people talking about the program.

Good luck!

I want to start doing Internet Marketing but where do I start?

I’ve got the idea alright of how you need a niche market, a product within that market and traffic to get to your website to sell that product. I know about eBooks, affiliate marketing and the like. I even have a plan that I want to earn from the Internet full time in two years. It’s just that I just seem to have difficulty "putting pen to paper" Should I pay for mentoring because I seem too overwhelmed by it all?

Mentoring is a good way to help you because it demands accountability on your part, however it can be costly.

You already have a two year plan, but it has to be specific, like how much will you be earning in two years. The most important question is Why do you want to earn that much, what is the reason. The more compelling the reason, the more likely it is that you are going to make it happen because from a "Want" it becomes a "Must".
Once it becomes a must, you have to focus your mind on achieving it.

Mark Twain said:
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.“

A Chinese saying; A journey of a thousand miles, starts with the first step.

You already have a two year plan, that is very good, many people want to get rich but don’t have plan or target. You are already several steps ahead.

Break down the 2 year plan into quarterly plans or milestones, the first quarter into monthly milestones, turn the first month into weekly actions, and then the coming week into daily actions.

Every day just do whatever your daily action plan is don’t worry about tomorrow, just get today’s action plan done. Make this a routine task. Somedays (not to many please) you might not do it, don’t worry just do it the next day (take two days off every week, rest your mind do something else)

Review every month (if possible weekly), and compare your plan to your results. This will keep you on track. Once this becomes a routine you will be well on your way.

You will receive ebooks, videos and periodic emails that helps you step by step. By following the training, you will see progress and once you see progress you will be more motivated to stick with it and do more. Without realizing it you will be well on your way to make it happen.

Hope this helps

where can I challenge a legislation which is clearly not right in the PCO rules?

my friend runs a small taxi business and his adverts sometimes has the term "taxi" but he clearly says he operates on a PCO prebooking basis but all his customers are international and in countries round the globe the term Taxi is the only word they use in their vocablary and they do not know what a minicab is. He is not being akward but his adverts are designed for the international market and he advertises on google and Yahoo search engines which is seen internationally.
The law by PCO states you cannot use the word taxi

According to Private Hire Vehicle Act 1998, you are not allowed to use certain words in advertisement for private hire services.

A PHV operator must not use the words, taxi taxis cab or cabs or any word which is closely similar to these in advertisement in links to internet web addresses.

The fine is £2500.

However, you can use the word minicab or mini-cab.

Unfortunately, the parliament makes these acts, and even though you can challenge it, it is highly unlikely that the laws will be changed in your favour.

Hope it helps x
