Whilst researching other marketing blogs, I came across Lynn terry’s Clickznews. After spending several hours on her site, and the sites she links to, I’m giving it my official stamp of approval. Well, since I haven’t really devised a system for approval stamps I guess it would have to be unofficial…but it gets stamped nonetheless.
Mind you, this is not the first time I’m infiltrating an internet community…I love the feeling of coming in as an outsider and almost be overwhelmed by the information available.
I think it’s this that scares a lot of people off; you click a link and find a site with five more interesting links. You click one of those and you find ANOTHER website with five interesting links. And it just won’t stop, instead of reducing the number of questions you have they’re increasing – exponentially.
And to be able to make a good informed decision on ONE single marketing product can take hours of reading and research (not to mention the time you have to put in to grasp the key concepts of whatever it is the product is referring to). And the depressing part is when you reach the informed decision that this particular marketing product is, literally, a waste of time…and you’re back at square one with a good portion of your day gone.
I swear, this stuff is turning me into a type A personality.
So it’s always good when you can find a good forum or a blog that can work as you starting point – the important thing is that it’s not too niche so it can give you a good birds eye view of what’s out there.
And wouldn’t you know it, I stumbled on a post about creating affiliate sites with wordpress and I found a pretty decent starting point for my research. After spending the day reading, reading, reading I actually have some solid things to follow up on, and I think I *might* be ready to shell out a couple of bucks for my first marketing course tomorrow.
Got to sleep on it first.
I’m glad you found ClickNewz helpful! Let me know if I can help with your decisions in Internet Marketing in any way. I do have a free discussion forum as well, which is linked on my About page if you’d like to join us there :)
Best,
Lynn Terry
