By Stu Leventhal - Guru Marketing Tips Editor
Plenty claim to be a Web Guru; not many of us know what that means. It is about earning one's living via the internet.
Are you just dabbling online or are you bringing in real money and profit?
Every business, at this point, has realized the potential for wealth building that the internet presents to us all. The web allows you to promote globally. You also can get office stuff done for you cheap.
You can hire people across the ocean and sell over there too.
But there is a learning curve!
There are also a lot of folks making all sorts of claims out there in cyberspace. Business people, entrepreneurs especially, must be careful. Part of becoming a Web Guru curtails learning how to operate in a vast and varied arena where there is little to zero regulation. Folks can get away with a lot of shiffty, blurry and shady stuff online!
A Web Guru knows the signs that he or she is speaking with a wanna-be and not the real deal. A Web Guru can do just about anything there is to do online. If they do not know how then they know who to ask to learn how. A Web Guru does not need to upgrade his or her computer gadgetry every time the new versions are released.
It is not about the gadgetry, it is what you can make the gadgets do for you.
Remember, the web enhances what you can do pertaining to business but it does not replace business wisdom nor real business experience. One can do a lot of chores quicker via digital apparatus but can you make a business plan that will work? Do you know how to hire...the best?
Can you negotiate prices like an experienced pro... saving your company tons of money?
How are you at sales pitching? Networking?
Having the best computer equipment does not make you a business pro or a marketing wiz. You still need to know how to craft copy that gets people to actually order!
New tech is a blessing but you still have to do your research and homework and gain practical experience to know how to put the tech to great use...so you can beat your competitors.
