Generous Gurus Offering Training

A few days ago I mentioned that I noticed a couple trends happening in my marketing ventures lately. Actually they seem diametrically opposed (is that the right way to use that term?). The first is the forced continuity by marketers selling their products. The second is the free training being offered by a number of very successful marketers.

The first seems incredibly greedy while the second is incredibly generous. And I get to benefit.

I’ve been participating in the “16 Steps to Success” training by Sam Clark in conjunction with Jack Humphrey and the Authority Site Center. It’s really excellent. I am amazed at all the work Sam is putting into this. This course is a series of 16 live webinars detailing the steps to creating a successful authority site and a successful business overall. We just have a couple classes left after this week.

My understanding of what an authority site is has certainly changed over the course of this class. I’ve learned an authority site is not just a big site full of content. A successful authority site these days is created by someone who is or becomes an expert in the niche, does in depth research to get in tune with exactly what is happening within that niche currently on the web, and then provides the content that people are looking for, and does this consistently and persistently. This course has covered in depth how to do all of that.

Another training program that I was “lucky” enough to get into is the “Black Ink Project” provided by Jeremy Palmer. He is a master at affiliate marketing and has created a number of products that teach his methods. This time he is offering live classes that cover his affiliate marketing methods. The agenda looks intense and comprehensive. I know next to nothing about super affiliate marketing, so I’m really excited about this. I learn so much better from live instruction than I do from an ebook.

Finally, a third opportunity is being offered by Jeff Johnson. His focuses on SEO blog software and how to best use it to bring search engine traffic to your blog. Jeff is going to provide a webinar or two to show how to get the most out of the software. I crave learning about both SEO and getting traffic, and blogs are my thing these days, so I’m thrilled. The software and the training are both being offered free.

It’s an abundance and I’m really grateful. Great thanks you all you generous people…
