Fear of the technical problems is a big barrier to many people. We are not all comfortable with HTML. In fact I learned how to program computers many years before the World Wide Web was invented and I frankly used to avoid HTML like the plague.
It was not really a tech issue for me -it was DESIGN.
HTML is just a set of abbreviations showing where things go on a page – it is a so called mark up language rather than what I would call a proper computer language. Months went by with me tackling issues which were simply not in my skill set…
And in those month no money was being made and no list built.
If Tech Trauma or Design Delirium is facing you – escape it!
Find someone who is good at what you are useless at – either hire them or do a buddy swap, but deal with it. Trying to soldier on is daft – it wastes time and energy that could be spent building your business.
Has tech trauma faced you or delayed you?
I’d love to know

Expertise comes in many shapes.
You could be an expert writer, coder or designer or you could be an expert at sales or marketing – Dean’s point is that your expertise will win when pitted against those with less skill.
As an ex college teacher I agree. It has puzzled me that so many people in Internet Marketing seem to believe in “Lady Luck” and not in education.
They spend months, years and lots of hard earned money on products and systems that make big promises…mostly along the lines of, “We’ve found a loophole…” or “We have a ‘Turn Key’ Solution” or some other variety of nonsense.
The truth is that effectiveness in any field is limited by our skill set and mind set. To be more effective and earn more we either have to learn extra skills or team up with someone who has the skill we lack.
And of all the skills we need online the major one is list-building. Having the skill of being able to send an email and earn more money than most folks earn in a month seems exactly what most would be entrepreneurs would give their right arm for.
And that’s why Kathy Baker – an expert business coach and myself, an expert teacher and trainer created a programme – called “Expert List-building” that focuses on building your opt-in list.
So we agree with the “Dean” – “Terry Dean” – to be exact, “Expertise Equals Income” and we advise newcomers to Internet business to put list-building at the heart of their efforts.
Learn the skills and mindset needed…
And then YOU can send the email…that earns a monthly salary.
That’s what I call “a passive income”
