One important note if you're getting started--always keep learning but start DOING too. I see so many people trying to learn everything and THEN get started. You'll never stop learning and never start if you do that. Set simple goals--setup your first website, get your first list subscriber, make your 1st dollar. Then build from there...

Laik, I think that the WF is great. But, I think the importance of actually having a knowledge base cannot be played down. i think the answer to your question greatly depends on what your niche is. Is it internet marketing? If so, what is your skill set? I would get deep into blogs, news sites, and news that is relevant to those topics. To be a subject matter expert, you need to be tracking the feeds in your feed reader of all the top blogs and sites in your niche.
Seems like newbies are in such a big hurry to "sell something" that they lack the knowledge to sell from. If you are already the subject matter expert - great - then, work on your marketing piece of the puzzle. Until then, I would work on the knowledge. Don't sell something until you actually have something marketable to sell.
Best of luck to you.
If you have specific PPC questions, maybe I can be of assistance. I used to work at Google as an account strategist on the AdWords team..now I consult for small to mid sized companies nad have a few products of my own.
What sort of trouble are you having with PPC? Its pretty easy once you break it down into an actionable system :)

Yes, you should read the Warrior Forum, but I've seen more than 3 people I personally know get sucked into that "paralysis by analysis" mode, where you learn, learn, learn and take no action whatsoever, and if you do take action... you take a year or more to create your first product or promotion.
Instead of I say learn a little, jump in and work, work, work.
Fail as fast and as hard as you can and ironically you will end up succeeding.
Good point about information overload.
1) Decide what you ultimately want to achieve
2) Research how to get there and what you'll need for the journey
3) Start doing- you can read about it forever and never have as much useful information as someone who researched for one month then dove in and started swimming.
4) Be adaptable on route
5) Warrior Forum is a great starting point.
Don't sign up to every Tom, Dick or harry's course either. Become a leader and not a follower, Find a mentor and do what he does (if he is successful) Don't aim too high too soon.
A thousand mile journey can be completed in the dark with just enough vision from your headlights as long as you are heading in the right direction.
I would avoid the Warrior Forum if I were you. I've seen many, many people get sidetracked there.
Find a course by a credible marketer and follow that process, and only that process until you're successful.
As a fellow newb, I can understand where you are coming from. The WF is awesome but it can be a huge time waster, one thing that can help is to narrow down before you go what you need answers on, use search, find appropriate threads and then subscribe to them. Read along as they develop and set yourself a time limit for achieving even very small goals.Quote:

As to finding a "credible marketer" to follow, well when you've figured that one out let me know. They are after all, marketing their marketing product to you!
Best of Luck and Persistence to you!

Kunj K,
I recommend the warrior forum, when I was in that same position of not knowing where to go and had so many questions I was told to go to WF, and the help and feed back that I got was amazing there are so many people willing to help, you just have to put a little effort into finding them.
Hope this helps!
