Take online courses for free and create an income working from home. Nearly everything you need is available right now and it's easy to learn
Do free courses online really work?
Free courses online do work however they have limitations in how far they will take you.
Let's face facts, a free online course will cost you somewhere, sometime so it is best to understand this up front
There is a wonderful thing called an upsell, once you are on the bait you are captured and the only way out is to pay your way. They may take several bites along the way so we will tell you how to prevent this
Why online and not a live coach
First of all you don't get free coaching, well hardly ever. However it can happen.
With a coach you basically trade time for money, they will often fast track your experience however you pay for that time. The cost will depend on a coupe of things being one on one or a team approach.
Coaching may be live or by video it is much the same although many video feeds are to a number of on air students, in fact even thousands of them.
Therefore online comes with many advantages.
People learn in different ways, visual, audio and reading.
I learn better from the written word as I get distracted in a video or audio as my attention waivers, however we are all different.
Some are just more attention deficit than others.
The Seminar trap
Ok Covid controlled this for the past year or so however it is still big business. A free seminar with different guest speakers and your VIP pass.
Here the speakers sprinkle you with ideas and grab your attention as you begin to see light.
They build to a crescendo and suddenly wham an offer you can not miss at just $1000
You are so pumped that the mind will tell you the investment is worth it however the reality may be very different.
I was just watching a review of the famous Grant Cordone, a real hustler. the YouTube link is
https://youtu.be/Qaiuvr56c8M if you want to be entertained.
Grant charges from $1000 to $10,000 to get sucked in.
And all you hear is a diatribe of advise you can get from the local coffee shop.
Look, listen and learn
Use of all your senses in training helps with memory retention and that is why many include video, written and an exercise to test the learning.
The courses at Wealthy Affiliate do this very well, furthermore I discovered that it is necessary to do it properly. My first time through I skipped classes and missed the exercises and the result was redoing it properly.
First of all, always trial an online class or get a money back guarantee. The course or subject will not suit everyone and trial and error will unearth your potential.
Next I want you to have a look at a starting course that may inspire you.
Finally if you think I am pushing one course you are both right and wrong. I have done a whole cupboard load of scrap paper in both free and paid courses. I have been stung and scammed and have come out the other side.
I want you to enter this world with your eyes open and an understanding of what you would like to achieve.
The internet is a massive field so you can not learn everything in a short term, in fact it will take years to really become a half baked expert.
Taking a small part of the Net and learning that as well as you can will pay greater dividents than chasing the world.
It might be Facebook, or SEO, website building or marketing the field is there for you to work on your strengths and develop a concentrated knowledge of a subject.
Of course an overall knowledge of websites and how they work is a great starting spot.
Making money on the net, true or false?
There are literally millions of people that are making big incomes. These all use a part of the internet to their advantage and work it well.
However you don't just make money on the internet you do it by using the facilities available.
First of all work out what you want to do and learn it properly so that you can tell others what to do.
| Blogging | Writing pages like this |
| Online store | Selling real or virtual products |
| Social media | selling of products |
| Drop shipping | Recommending products for sale |
| Training | Writing courses or live delivery |
| Affiliate marketing | The best business in town |
The above list is just a token example that may be of interest. First of all have a general understanding of the world you would like to be in and work from there
Where do you get support?
This is an interesting question because is it over coaching. What support do you need?
If it is website support it is from your carrier however they will not help with WordPress or any other template used. Then it may be SEO or perhaps writing advise etc.
Each area has its own authority and most do not cross over. Being part of a good network where everyone is trying to achieve the same thing can help with a lot of issues. We all generally stumble on the same simple problems.
Support may be live or text based even crossing to link to lessons on that subject.
Want to know more?
Other coaching styles may suit you better.
My recent rant on coaching for the beginner may help.
Here we looked at using a live coach as well as online training. I even included a great opportunity to start the journey.
My last word of warning. The internet is full of spammers so don't pay money unless you are 100% sure. Furthermore the only people that get rich are the spammers.
Finally and to finish, this is a wonderful world so enjoy the journey and what's more go make some money.
