One of the truly great things about internet marketing is that it is
remarkably easy for anyone to become an internet marketer.
You do not need any college degree, specific technical training or
experience. Age, gender and locality are no bar to being a successful
internet marketer either.
Moreover, unlike a traditional bricks and mortar, real-world business, you
do not need to have a significant amount of start-up capital behind you
either.
Whilst I have no doubt that the picture is changing and will continue to do
so, almost no one in the internet marketing business has any formal training
of any kind as an online marketer. In effect, therefore, almost everyone
starts out playing the internet marketing game on a level playing field.
Of course, some marketers do come into the internet marketing business
with significant amounts of real-world business experience, and there is little
doubt that such extensive business experience does give them an
advantage.
Nevertheless, it is still true that in practical terms, whilst everyone can have
lots of good ideas, every marketing beginner or newbie starts off with little
or no previous experience.
In other words, no matter who they are or where they are now, even the
best known gurus and experts in the business started off as exactly the
same sort of online business newbie as you are now.
However, if that is the position that you still find yourself in, you should
take that as a huge encouragement, because quite clearly, by becoming
recognized experts or gurus, these people have long since managed to lose
their newbie status.
