Since 2010 is still only just about a week old, there is still A LOT of time to get your online marketing efforts into full swing to start the year off with a BANG!

I discussed in an earlier blog post about how important it is to learn from people who are taking action and are where you want to be. I just wanted to touch on that again in this post, as I think many people skip past it without realizing just how important a teacher/mentor/coach can be.

One big trap that a lot of beginner marketers fall into is the feeling that they can do and learn everything themselves and still be successful within a few months. For the most part that can not be done, simply because there is so much to learn and so many distractions that will pop up.

I remember when I was starting out online I thought that way too, I wanted to do everything myself, and so I did. Since then I have learned to do just about anything that I could ever need to get done… but has it cost me a lot of time and money in the process? It probably has.

I spent probably days on end in the beginning to learn how to make a web site and figure out all of the hosting issues, but I did eventually get it done. I also learned over the years how to make some cool web graphics, how to use an autoresponder, 100+ ways to drive traffic to my sites, how to build an email list, how to write an ebook, and so many more things which I could never mention them all.

Note: As a beginner there are certain things that you really should learn how to do, but there are also many things which you don’t necessarily need to learn. They might be nice to learn, but it might be worth a lot more to get someone else to do it for you.

What I am getting at is that when you have a good mentor or coach who is helping you along and pointing you towards success, your job as a beginner becomes A LOT easier. If the coach is giving you step-by-step actions to take, you no longer have to worry about what your doing or if it will be successful, because your knowledgeable coach already knows it will be.

All you have to do is follow what they teach!

My good friend and “big dog guru” Doug Champigny is one of those mentors who knows exactly what needs to be done and can tell you how to do it, how to make 2010 your best year yet online.

Doug has set up a 4-week high-intensity PowerStart coaching program where he will walk you through the steps to get your own online business set up and ready to go. If you can follow instructions and want to get an internet business started up, then I strongly recommend this coaching. Don’t worry, this is not one of those thousands of dollars outsourced coaching programs. No, Doug will be there with you every step of the way.

With a new year and a new decade upon us it’s important to understand what we need to focus on and learn what we need to do in order to be successful next year.

“How do I do that when a lot of what I have done in the past hasn’t worked for me?”

Here’s the not so secret tactic that we all need to use this coming year in order to become more successful, and that “secret” is…

Learn from those that have been where you want to be in the coming year!

That is the single most important thing that you can do for your online business right NOW and in the New Year.

There are a few ways that you can learn from other marketers…

• Buy their products. When you purchase a product from them (like a home study course), you can learn A LOT, but you will also spend a lot of money, which is ok if you can afford it.

• Get a mentor/coach. This can be a great way to learn the insides of their business and it can really boost your own success… but again it can cost a lot to do it, but many times it will pay for itself.

• Get their products when they have a massive sale or decide to give it away. This is actually a very do-able tactic, as many big “guru” marketers are now heading towards selling their courses for very cheap, or even giving them away for free.

Hint: Grab Mike Filsaime’s amazing offer here before it’s gone.

But like the “hint” above stated, many times when marketers give away or greatly reduce the cost of their course, they often times will limit the availability…
… which means that if you want to learn from someone who has been where you want to be, you need to act quickly.

Don’t just let next year be the big year for you… why not START RIGHT NOW?!

P.S. If you have a few thousand dollars and can afford home study courses to learn from, by all means go and use it. But if you don’t and you still want to learn as much as you can, taking advantage of giveaway or free + shipping offers is the way to go.
