How to Get Online Training

One major reason why people don't succeed in establishing an online business is because they don't invest in their knowledge. Yet getting the right training can be tricky. I have reproduced below an extract from Why Online Businesses Fail.

You wouldn’t expect to set up as an accountant or lawyer and open your doors to the public without training, would you? Yet nevertheless people do exactly that on the internet. Acting blind in business is a sure way to fail. You need to invest in knowledge and continue to invest.

The good news is that there is no shortage of training courses out there. That is also the bad news. You need to pick carefully a course which is reasonably priced, be sure that the course leader practises what he preaches and runs a successful business. Ideally this will be a monthly subscription that you can cancel at any time if you make a mistake.

Ideally he / they will provide a combination of:

·        Webinars

·        Skype conferences one to one

·        Training videos on all of the required skill sets

·        DVDs on specific areas eg web building.

·        Technical Helpdesk.

One focusing on web building using WordPress and another on social media might give you the broad range of skills that you need initially.

You might find you use 2 or 3 tutors, as I did. You will also probably need to full in technical gaps by Googling questions – there is always an answer so just keep asking the question in a different way until you find it.

In essence I would say that the basic software tools which will see you through most challenges are:

·        MS Office (Word. Excel and PowerPoint)

·        WordPress and a couple of Plug ins such as Optimiser and SalesPagePlugIn

·        Photoshop Elements

·        Camtasia [not at the beginning]

·        Ashampoo (DVD burning) [optional]

The key strategies to adopt:

1.    Work out exactly what you need to get to the next stage, source it and then focus on that course.

2.    Make it practical – don’t just watch the video or read the pdf – actually DO IT. If it is teaching you how to build a website using WordPress then mirror it with your own site. If it suggests a plugin that needs paying for, pay for it and download and use it. You will get far more out of the course even if it takes you longer to complete.

3.    Avoid ‘white noise’ if you have signed on to other gurus they will be busy flogging you their training. Don’t be tempted whilst you are doing another course but simply make a note of that course to potentially follow up if it’s still necessary. Meanwhile continue to achieve your current objective acquiring the knowledge you felt was vital to move on with your business.

4.    Keep assessing vital gaps in knowledge to consider what knowledge is needed most next rather than clicking the very next email promotion that hits your inbox. You then ensure your purchases are properly thought out and controlled.
