Seniors do it too
I
sometimes smile when I see the phrase "newbie" used on line today. Most
think of a "newbie" as being a young person striking out on the internet
to capture their dreams of wealth and the life of leisure while working
from the comfort of their home. Actually the term "newbie" applies to
anyone who is new to the world of the internet. It may be a young person looking to make it big with internet
marketing or an older person just looking for a little extra income. It
could be someone just looking for a little entertainment or to connect
with others.
The term "newbie" creates the picture in one's mind of someone new to internet
marketing with no concept on where or how to start to build their
business or someone who is prone to join every new program that comes
along and therefore is easy prey to the ruthless marketer who is out
only to make money. They have no desire to help anyone and in most cases
prefer that we continue with our ignorant ways so that we will follow
them to the next hot new launch.
The
truth is that a "newbie" is not regulated to a young person and not to
someone who is striking out to make their mark on the internet. A "newbie can be of any age but no matter what the age, all "newbies" need the same thing. Instruction
as well as someone who will provide the leadership and patience to help
them along until they are prepared to do it on their own. Someone or a
program that will provide the tutorials on everything from copy and
paste to the art of blogging. How and when to advertise and the proper
use of autoresponders. How to write effective ads as well as how to communicate with your downline.
The
truth about "newbies" is it can most often be harder for seniors to
conquer the use of the computer than it is for the younger. While
seniors may have the wisdom to know when and how things should be done,
they also have a harder time of comprehending the computer language.
Seniors did not grow up with computers like the younger folks today so
it is a completely foreign language to them when you tell them abut
WYSIWYG.
So
no matter what your age and no matter how much you think you know, keep
in mind that the truly successful are continually educating themselves
as the environment changes in the world of marketing.
Find a good mentor, if you are joining a program to make money, contact
your sponsor. If you are a sponsor, stay in touch with your downline and be wiling to help in all ways so that they may grow along with you. Find a solid company and stick with it and you will be well rewarded.

The information is what i needed to hear as I am a newbie,but of the older kind , and agree you have to watch out for the marketers who are only out to make quick money.

With online marketing you will be studying all your life and be a newby in some aspects. No world changing faster than cyberworld. But that's OK, you can't be an expert in everything. But there are some essential skills you need to master which are basically the same as for "brick" companies and some additional skill like social marketing and finding good opportunities. Search engines can be a big help but personally I learned the most from reading stuff on APSense, Kooiii and IMfaceplate. Those

Everyone starts off as a newbie. A newbie can be any age and it simply means you are at the start of a long learning curve. Depending on what it is you are trying to accomplish online, will determine the skill sets you will need. There are so many scams out there it is just sickening. Like being in Vegas for the first time, the sparkle and the allure of easy money is everywhere you look. Trust me there is no one willing to pay you 10 dollars to read an email. NOBODY! Don't fall for it.

@Jim, I know what you mean and you are right, the person probably had no idea about your comment.
Thanks to all who have made such nice comments. Just remember when you find someone making the "newbie" mistakes, think before you challenge them. We all have been there and some of us still have things to learn so be instructive if and when contacting them.

Very interesting. Funny thing is... I received an email from a safelist that I am a member of and commented on their microscopic font size being a result of not changing it in their wysiwyg editor... I could imagine they were truly dumbfounded.

This is an interesting blog! Anyone, regardless of age, will be a "newbie" in something, whether online or offline.

I agree that it does take longer for some of us seniors to conquer all the information and tech things. Great article and one that is informative.

We were all newbies at one time and age didn't matter.
I am sure the younger ones are able to grasp the concept
of marketing on the internet more quickly
But... I being one of the older ones have more determination.
Loved your post Ron.
Not only great info but I enjoyed the read!
Keep it up
