Has Anyone Been Able To Find Good Website Teachers?

By Mike Adams

Current website teachers on the Internet are either too advanced or too high-minded for most of us newbies.

I'm talking about website teachers who can start you off from a very basic level and guide you all the way to uploading your own site to the Web.

Months and months went by trying to find someone like that. The frustration level just kept building as I leaped from one program to another.

I joined or bought into many programs that promised to deliver the goods, but always fell far short.

Depression was setting in as each new teaching course would eventually evolve into a situation where the technical jargon used was way beyond my knowledge base. I needed to learn, but no one I could find started simply enough for people like me who at the beginning could only use a computer to write a letter, send email or explore the Internet. I was getting very frustrated by it all.

Most people who claim to be website teachers start off assuming you know a lot about the whole process or skip basic steps along the way leaving the computer newbie in the dark.

Most of the website teachers or programs I found seemed to take pride in using the technical terms I didn't understand. It was like they had a cyber-smirk on their faces while spouting their course material.

One instructor in particular stood out in my mind. Though he shall remain nameless in this article, he considered himself a "newbie guru".

As it was told, when a student of that instructor suggested he add more primary steps to his teaching style to allow those less skilled to keep up, he roared the following words back at him:

"Don't you dare assume you know what a newbie needs! I OWN all the newbies out there!"

Now there's a great attitude to have! Who would want to try and learn from a guy like that?

It was at that point that the student mentioned came to a realization. He knew he couldn't be alone in his struggle to learn about building websites. He felt there had to be literally thousands of people in the same predicament. He vowed to learn all he could about website construction and teach it to others in plain, simple language.

Some call it kismet, others fate. As my luck would have it, I met this student shortly after he created this course and signed right up. As it turns out hundreds of others did too.

The one-time student had become one of the best website teachers on the Internet with his new course. He stuck it out and learned all he could about website building, then turned his knowledge into a basic course anyone could learn from. He was making good money with it, but the real benefits went to the many who took the course.
