    There are many professionals in internet market, such as graphic/web design, email market, affiliates, seo, forum promotion, content writing, blog promotion and many other webmaster related work and position.

    I know many of you learn the skills at school or in training programs.
    However there are still lots of people who teach themselves by learning tutorial online .
    I am one of them . I learn seo, web design by myself, not at school .
    How about you, dp guys ?

    I agree with SuperexX that just trying things is a great way to learn. Simply setting up a couple of websites etc, I quickly learned a lot about site hosting, which led me onto many other things. Mainly I like to concentrate on the writing, and because of that I believe that it is also best to read actual books as well as some websites. There is SO much information out there on the internet, but sometimes it is a lot easier to read it all together in one place written by someone who really knows their stuff. That is how I have learned about SEO, and am still continuing to learn about writing.

    I always believe in schools/training programs they teach us only limited stuff(what's there in the books) but in this competitive world we gotta think out of the BOX to succeed hence u gotta learn it the smart way :)

    What I know I have learned in the web, now days there are so many good places where you can learn for free, school is good but I dont belive they teach you everything you need to know so hands on is the best experience you can have.

    I learned almost all I know myself. I did take one class, but it doesn't really count because I forgot it all and had to learn it all over again. :rolleyes:
