YES…you are correct in what you are trying to advicate. What I think you might want to remember is …..when we ” Learning” folks are trying to do is “FOLLOW” …and “Duplicate”….like follow in some ones “Foot Steps”…..so we don’t get off track……most Newbies’…don’t know how to think outside of the box…we’re just trying to FOLLOW…………….. So, with that said…..your info is amazing but just remember.
Most people don’t have your knowledge or experience…….just food for thought.
HECK….If I weren’t such a “Bull Dog”….I would have left this a long time ago….LOL
No, it is not irresponsible, But, your readers need to understand where you are coming from. Most of your newbies, probably want the precise details until they learn, others, well they feel better having freedom to mix and match according to their experience.
I forget if it was Mozart or Bethoven, but one of them spent two years playing the scales on the piano 6+ hours everyday. Once he know the “rules” of music, he broke them and created his own masterpieces.
We, as readers, need to realize that you have a vast audience. Some of us have thousands of dollars in the bank, while some of us wonder how we will make the next rent/mortgage payment. Some of us can zip around the computers, install software, fix problems and feel at home on the computer and internet, while some of us still think computers come with coffee cup holders.
Sometimes, we think you are talking to ‘us’, when you are really talking to ‘them.’ And just as bad, we think you are talking to ‘them’ when you are talking to ‘us.’
You mentioned the woman who took your PLR, setup a blog, monetized it and is making money. Many of your readers and I can duplicate that model fairly easily. But there are many who are scratching their heads because they don’t even know what fantastico is.
Hmm, wheels in my head are spinning, I am going to email you.
I understand where you are coming from with the “think for yourself” concept. We should think for ourselves but as newbies we don’t always know “how to think for ourselves”. We just need to have some kind of instruction to get started. If we don’t know how to do anything, how can we get started if someone doesn’t give us a few instructions?
True Becky. With my info products, if you’ve ever bought one, you’ll see that I do it step by step. Even my reviews, I adhere strictly (usually) to what the author teaches. But in casual tip vlogs, etc., I won’t always detail every single item. I get tons of emails daily – and I’ll admit there are sometimes some so simple, like “What’s an autoresponder?” And I want to say, “NO!! Don’t be like I was waiting for someone to deliver everything to you – Google it!” lol. But I don’t, of course, I just politely reply with a definition But I wonder if I’m doing them a disservice.
Gosh… I remember when I was so new – I “did” need a road map.
Now – I can see why the idea of “one” road map is just silly… but then anything that promised a “system” or a “blue print” was something I usually purchased.
The one thing I think all “newbies” must remember is that if you are following a system and you “forget” (or get lazy) and don’t do everything that the system teaches 100% of the time – you can still be successful.
One thing Tiff said in this vlog – “Not All Sites Will Be Successful”. Even if you follow a system to perfection… it is by chance and luck sometimes that a website/blog will get traffic”.
No truer statement has been made by Tiff. I am proof positive of that.
We are all at the mercy of the Search Engines. :0)
I agree with Buck when he said you are reaching a vast audience. There may be many “newbies” reading your blogs, but you have others with a varying range of experience who can still learn from you.
You mentioned above that your ebooks do go step-by-step for those who need that – I can testify to one of your Squidoo ebooks. I learned a lot, but also I had already been on Squidoo for a while – just doing things differently as I was building lenses for pleasure, not for income generation.
We are all in a different place than most everyone else. You are reaching a wide range of audience and doing it well.
Yes, we need to learn how to think for ourselves. There are plenty of classes, courses, and ebooks for the complete newbie if they would like to go step-by-step. I think what you are offering on this site is tremendous. Keep up the great work in leading us to “greener” pastures.
