We all start our internet marketing career at the beginning. You don’t know how to make a blog post; you don’t know how to resize a photo.
With each webpage and backlink, however, your skills begin to grow.
And then one day, it hits you–somehow through it all, you became an internet marketing expert.
At GoodDayMompreneur we had a day like that this week.
We were making a video of our latest episode. Making our show has posed some unexpected hurdles. We’ve had lots of technology challenges, but even more than that, we’re learning how to “work” the camera.
Because we video our episodes from all corners of the country with lots of electronic gear, and many miles between ourselves, we find it hard to get the same energy we feel in person. We have to learn how to be aware of the camera, while still making our point. We have to react to each other with a slight time delay in the broadcast we see on our monitors. We want spontaneity without getting chaos.
In short, we had to be beginners again.
When we were finished with our episode, we were discussing editing, and Samantha said, “Don’t worry. I’ll take the file because I have a program which will take the .flv and change it to .avi so we can edit it in Camtasia.”
There was a stunned silence.
Finally Rana spoke and said, “I can’t believe I just understood everything she said.”
Yes, we talk fluently in file extensions now. We must have arrived. We have become internet marketing experts.
Take a moment and give us your story that finishes, “You know you’re an internet marketer when…” We’d love to hear from you.
All beginners become experts. The key is to keep moving forward.

That for sharing Julia our little reality check the other day. I have another one for you:
You know you’re an internet marketer when your coder/technical man (or women) calls you for help on issue. Happen this past week to – he has been my go-to guy for over a year now and there he was call me for help. I could not help but laugh.

I’ve got one too….
You know you’re an internet marketer when the man who runs a local software company and fixes computers, has never heard of some of the technology that you are using in your everyday life. This happened today when I was talking to him about buying a new laptop. I was asking for recommendations and telling him some of the tools that need to run smoothly on my machine. For instance, he didn’t even know that you could remotely record videos with multiple people speaking on screen at one time — exactly what we do here at Good Day Mompreneur!

You know you’re an internet marketing expert when you are at dinner at an internet marketing conference and you start to talk about the new developments in mobile marketing and everyone stops their conversations to hear what you have to say. What’s even cooler, though, is when your 14-year-old son is the one doing the talking.
