Note that there are people asking questions here who seem to like this particular method of marketing, whilst there are others who are clearly not quite so convinced. In other words, there is no hype or over-exaggeration involved - what you are getting are peoples genuine opinions, questions and recommendations, and everything is entirely free.

This is not, incidentally, meant to suggest that you should immediately run off to take up 'bum marketing'. As suggested in the first section of this report, if this does not fall in your plan for the time being, then learn about it by all means, but did not shift your focus from what you're doing now.

However, by following both of these forum sites, you will gradually learn about all of the different aspects of internet marketing. On every one of these individual aspects, forum members will have widely differing opinions.

For example, some people still think it is important to know how to create websites using 'traditional' website building tools like Dreamweaver or NVU.

Others would argue, however, that this is a largely irrelevant skill when it is now so simple to build a perfectly acceptable site in a matter of moments using a blog platform like WordPress or a content management system like Joomla.

No doubt, all of this information is extremely interesting, but unfortunate that does mean that it is remarkably easy to spend hour after hour browsing both of these forums. Doing so is almost as dangerous as jumping from one product to another, because it is another indication that you're not focused on the primary task in hand, which is to make money.

At almost every point of your internet marketing career, it will be far too easy to allow yourself to be distracted by marketing 'gossip' and associated 'noise' and, sometimes, even the most informative forum sites can fall into this category.

In a similar manner, information overload is also a serious potential threat to your efficiency and effectiveness.

In reality, whilst browsing forum sites can be fantastic source of free information, no one human being can realistically absorb everything that there is to be learned from such sites.

In effect, if you try to become an expert in everything, you will end up fully understanding nothing. You will be a relatively poorly qualified jack of all trades, and almost inevitably a master of none.
