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.

Excellent post and it definitely relates to all of us. I still consider myself to be a newbie, especially when it comes to the techie stuff. As long as you set your goals and go after the proper training (which there is plenty of) you can make it.
Thanks

Thanks, Ron, for this post. Newbies is used to refer to those who are new on the internet regardless of their historical ages.
I also agree that it is easier for the younger than for the older person to understand the internet faster.
However, none should give up. The acceptance of technology and embracing it is the beginning of success on the internet.
Trust me on this. I know.

Thank you everyone for the great comments. I understand how hard it is for seniors for I too am one. Fortunately I found a great business to be a part after making the mistakes that so of us many make when first starting out. So to those of you who are a newbie, young and old I say persevere and take advantage of some of the great folks here on Apsense.

Great to have you on our team, Ron! I so love this post! There are a lot more "senior newbies" coming into IM. Some do really well, others get frustrated and give up. I think they give up because they do not find the right mentors to show them the way.
Keep up the good work!
