Discerning Mind Against Information Overload

By: Nicolas Prudhon Home | Internet-and-Business


He said, she said, they said, but what actually is?

The world of internet business is such a paradox. While most of the people don't have a clue on how to SEO or Internet Marketing, internet is also the widest source of information to learn just about anything from anybody.

Whether you pay for your information through an eBook or a video, or get your information for free, there the main concern clearly is:

How reliable is the information you got?

As you search for information, you'll see that once you learn a way to do something, you'll find as many ways to do the same thing explained in different ways, or even contradicting each other...

Which one should you follow?

In doubt, one feels safer to follow the "guru"... but yet again are those so called Gurus real? What I mean is what do you really know about them? Because someone said that he or she made a million dollar doesn't mean that it is real.

"Yes, but I saw a snapshot of their Clickbank account and they were making so much money!"

Come on! That's no proof at all; anyone who knows how to use a bit Photoshop (or other imaging software) can do that too.

To define the real level of expertise of someone, look for more tangible proofs.

For myself, I don't consider myself as a "Guru", but I'm still able to show that:

* When it comes to SEO, with my new blog as proof, I've been able to rank in the top 20 within 5 weeks of domain name registration for a keyword with 245,000,000 competitive results on Yahoo!
* With this same blog, I have generated 17,590 pages viewed by 7,187 unique visitors in less than 5 weeks.
* I participate actively in SEO Chat forum (you can find my ID Nicolas-Prudhon)
* In Business, I was cover of magazine as "People of the Week" in 2001 in Korea.
* I have photos with Matt Morris, the CEO of Success University, and other millionaires.
* I have personal testimonials and endorsement from authority peoples in the Internet Marketing field such as Mike G.

Other people are able to show their appearance on TV news and other. We don't just talk the walk, we walk the talk.

Anybody who really has any kind of success in life, not just internet, has many ways to prove it to you. When it comes to SEO and Internet Marketing, some of those basics are:

* High search engine ranking position. If anybody tries to sell you something about SEO, they should be able to prove their expertise with their own site.

* High traffic volume. If you are so good, many people want to visit your site, if not, there's something wrong.

* Social Networking. Any expert is known and has knowledge of other experts in his fields. There isn't any real expert out there who can't show you a testimonial from another world renowned guru. So forget about the lists of "fake" testimonials, look for the authority ones.

* Use your brain. Some claims as so enormous and ridiculous that if you use any bit of common sense, you'll know that it's not true and can't be.

Once you have found a reliable source of information, although you may want to spend a couple of days studying your materials, one of the key here is to take action.

Internet is an environment that is evolving constantly, and what knowledge you may have acquired last year may no longer be usable this year. Unless you want to be spending your all life reading and studying material that keep changing and telling you different things, you must take action first.

Knowledge is NOT power, it is merely the key that open the door that leads to power; and unless you use that key, it's worthless.

Have faith in what you are doing and in yourself.

You already made the decision to buy some material, stop everything else from this point on. Study your material, and implement it right away.

It's no time to procrastinate or doubt yourself, take action.

By doing so, you'll see that your global knowledge is actually enhanced by real life application. Through time and trials, your mind will also be more discerning on what is the additional knowledge you need and the one you don't.

Don't fall in the trap of being one of those many who keep buying and reading materials on internet on how to make money, but never do anything.

If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask, I'm here to help.
