What does Qualified mean to you? To the Wealthy Affiliate members, it is a university degree in Internet marketing using all the skills learned.
Why do I bring this qualified subject up?
First of all, there is a great reason. I have just been chatting with a lady who is well qualified in fact she has after her name a Dr, MBA, MENG and for a job lectures at the University. OK, she has a side hustle as well but understand my point here she is a tad overqualified for a lot of simple jobs.
What qualifications do you have?
Although I have been in business all my life I don’t actually have any formal qualification. I completed a large part of a business degree and went a long way to an accounting degree (Hated It)
I have a few certificates along the way but nothing to hang on the wall until I came to Wealthy Affiliate.
You need to keep working at it.
Take any industry and the rate of change is modest but consistent and last years textbooks will do this year and probably for a few to come.
That was until the power of the internet arrived.
Change is now so rapid that constant attention is needed just to maintain a basic understanding.
This has be
I will point out a few things.
Think about advertising, all but a few years ago, mainstream and yellow pages were the go and then along came Webpages.
Throw in email marketing and add to that SMS marketing along the way at least these have stood the test of time.
This led to a massive spend on Adwords to get to the main page in number one spot so people would click.
An industry was born on SEO and is now just a byproduct
Next was Facebook advertising then Instagram and now pixel follows everywhere you go.
If you are not into retargeting you are not in the game.
Then there was Web pages, Blog pages and funnels
How difficult was it to build a web page? We had experts and companies making a heap of money and now you can do your own for pennies.
Oh how times change
I got my certificate to hang on the wall

Ty Johnson rated 10/10
This is an excellent course that will take a person from 0 knowledge to an understanding of the basics but I see many people making one simple mistake when doing this course.
I see people getting a few courses into this and then trying to do the rest on their own or by asking questions in live chat. The fact is it’s all here in this training for those that are willing to dig in here and complete the course.
Work through this one step at a time don’t rush through it or skip steps, if it takes you a week to complete one part of it then take a week but don’t skip.
