STARTING ON YOUR EDUCATION We all need to learn and keep on learning, and we are all at varyingstages of learning. Today starts a new series focusing on where, how,and from whom we should get our online education. It's not just a matter of reading, and no you can't just lay your headagainst your monitor and 'absorb' things while you sleep. That DOESwork with college text books, but since we are talking about learningfrom online resources, it's ruled out. There are skills involved in learning, and one of MAJOR importanceis Discernment. WHO SHOULD YOU LEARN FROM? It never pays to believe everything you hear or read. It does pay tochoose your sources carefully, and keep a discerning mind at all times.Your main sources of learning should be Experience and Expertise. No matter what, when you are first starting out learning about anytopic of interest, you need to rely on the experience and expertise ofothers. Those that have already done or learned what it is you areseeking are the ones best qualified to enlighten you. Sure, learning from experts is obvious, but what's not so obvious ishow to decipher who truly is an expert. It's not always easy. TakeInternet marketing for example, everyone in every program is claimingto have 'the secrets' to whatever you need. Many times it's just asales tactic, but some do have relevant knowledge to offer you. QUALIFYING EXPERTS The best way to determine who is an expert is through their works. Do they write articles for ezines or have other written information forreview? Do they run a web site or business that appears successful? Do their works exhibit knowledge or are they merely regurgitatingothers' information? What experience do they have? I'm not saying you need to conduct an extensive interview andbackground check on people before you listen to them, but you doneed to be careful. Do NOT qualify anyone as an expert until they'veearned it. ASK QUESTIONS Considering that much of the business on the Internet is aboutinformation, there's always plenty to be found. Often too, people withknowledge are willing to share it. Even those selling an informationalproduct will usually give help to those who contact them because itgives them a chance to exhibit their knowledge and make contact witha potential customer. Showing you the knowledge they have gives them credibility in yourmind plus gives them the chance to contact you. In the world ofselling information, credibility and contact are keys to making sales. Ask questions and stay in contact with those who have proventhemselves as knowledgeable. Surrounding yourself with others whoknow more than you is the best way to learn. You are then pickingup on their Experience and Expertise until you can develop some ofyour own. There are thousands of ezines, and thousands of web sites. You canbe choosy about which ones get your attention. In the next article we'll talk more about methods of learning, and startto develop more of the skills needed to advance your onlineeducation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk DIRECTLY with EXPERTS! -- Direct, PERSONAL Contact, Expert Advice-- Ask Unlimited Questions on Many Subjects--100s of Experts Available for Private, Confidential Consultations Get the Information You NEED Today: http://www.swapsmarts.com --------------Written by Joe Bingham, Editor of the NetPlay NewslettersPublish Your Own Quality Ezine with Little Work and a Lot of Helphttp://www.netplaynewsletters.com/publisher.html---------------------------------------------------------------------- Article Tags: Online Education
