What exactly is a newbie?

This term has always irritated me. When I started out I knew a bit about website building and social media. So I was not exactly new. However once you get on peoples mailing lists. (Big mistake, my advice is get off them ASAP). You find you are sent so many emails about SEO, Video Creation, How to market on Facebook, Twitter and so many other things. I started building my first website, and guess what? Yes I bought loads of plugins that were meant to improve SEO, social integration, and make my site great. I even bought software that would create an Instant Amazon store. Did any of these help me.

The answer is no. I just wasted money and got sent outdated stuff, or software that needed an update to make it work better. I learnt that you need to find people you can trust. I also learnt that many so called guru training sites do not explain everything simply, and fully. If you think about it, there is an obvious reason for this. If they did then they could not sell you an up sell. So my advice is get off mailing lists. Stick to building and promoting your business and do not buy anything that gurus say will help. In wealthy affiliate you get all you need here. So in answer to my question What Exactly Is a Newbie? We all are, some of us start out knowing nothing, some of us have experience, and some of us are experts. However we all are continually learning either through good and bad experiences, or learning about new technologies and syetems as the internet and social media changes
