7 Can’t-Miss Webinars for Online Marketers This Month

Does it feel like you spend too much time reading blog posts? Do you feel like you’re reading the same blog post every day?

It’s not that you’re reading the same information every time. Many quality blog posts with original information are posted every day.

It’s not that the information isn't quality information. Blogging has been taken to a new art by some of the best in the industry – it’s reached a certain “journalistic quality,” and everybody is competing to produce the same quality.

It’s not even that you’re not learning anything new anymore. Reading is one of the best ways to gain new knowledge.

The problem is, when you do the same thing day in and day out, you get into a rut.

It’s like when you’re on a weight training program. You do the same exercises every workout. Your muscles get used to it, and you stop progressing. You get into a rut.

The key to progressing in your workout regimen is to create “muscle confusion.” Incorporate new exercises that your muscles aren't used to so you can keep getting stronger.

Watch Webinars to Learn More

The same goes with learning. You need to incorporate different types of learning into your knowledge acquisition regimen. Reading blog posts is great, but it only engages the reading part of your brain.

When you incorporate webinars into your learning regimen, you engage your visual cortex (the slide show) and the auditory center of your brain.

Reading, watching and listening activate different sets of neurons. This helps you learn better and retain more.

We recommend watching webinars as a way to reinforce your learning regimen, and it just so happens that this coming month there are some great webinars to choose from.
