Follow That Guru

Written by Lavonda Thigpen


Continued from page 1

There are many Gurus’ out there, and what’s right for one person, may not be right forrepparttar other.

What you need to do first is to figure out exactly what you want to do to make money. Then research it. Go torepparttar 148962 library and read up on that Niche (a topic that you are passionate about, know a lot about, and that other people want to learn about). After all, that’s whatrepparttar 148963 Internet is all about. INFORMATION!

Once you’ve done that, find someone whom you respect and trust, and listen to and follow their advice. Don’t be afraid to ask questions either. Most ofrepparttar 148964 Gurus will help you anyway they can. But don’t ask them to tell you all of their “little secrets”, cause that’ll be like “getting blood from a turnip”; it ain’t gonna happen!!

Questions like, “How did you get started”, or “How can I get more traffic”, will have no problem getting an answer. Ask about some of their strategies and tactics. Buy their courses, if they have one to offer, and study it over and over. They will put “little hints” in there, andrepparttar 148965 more you readrepparttar 148966 easier it will be to spot them.

OK now, don’t go out and hunt down every Guru you can find and ask them to be your mentor. Just find 1 or 2 and learn all you can about them. Read whatever you can and then put a little of his and a little of hers together to make your own. If you choose more than 2, you’ll be right back where you were to start with. With a “duh” look on your face.

This can save lots of time on your part, avoids confusion, and gives you a good place to start.

Once your “creative juices” start flowing, there’s no idea what you might come up with. Be creative; don’t just follow them step by step. Add some of “YOU” in there with it. You might be surprised as to what turns up.
