    Search and read different threads on IM in this forum and you will get a lot of knowledge from here. There are plenty of tips, discussions, success stories and instant help available in this forum. Don't be specific to 2 or 3 books or websites. Google the internet to search more and more knowledge as its a very vast field and you need to invest your time to discover new things in IM.

    Thanks for your reponse BrownCat,

    The problem if you are new is what to read in this forum or other marketing forums. A lot of terms are unknown for a newbie and a lot of concepts are not clear if you are starting. Is there a way to have a basic knowledge so that this kind of forums starts to be useful?

    Marketing is the whole package.This involves everything from creating the idea of ​​getting off the right audience at the right time. It would also create a plan - and a few products or services are presented to the public in one way.

    I found that the best thing is to "get out of your head" and just try stuff. It doesn't matter if its perfect or successful...you learn most just by doing.

    To be quite honest, I think DP is phenomenal for the beginner to internet marketing. I stick around and answer questions like these primarily just to give back to the community I learned so much from. However, as I progressed I found that real experience is worth a ton. Until I really got out there and started doing some of the stuff on my own, I really didn't know what I was in for and what was worthless. Some of the topics and suggestions I've read here were bogus, not intentionally, but because they were new to the game too. Don't accept everything you read as fact, but eventually you have to take a step out on your own and start testing things on your own to figure out what works and what doesn't work.

    In essence though, I think if you are "starting to learn marketing" you are in the right place and you should test out the things you read here. Don't give up, but don't hold onto a site as if it's your baby. I've got more failures than successes under my belt to be quite honest, but I've always learned from them and I think I do pretty well for myself at this point.
