Where do you go when you want to learn something new?
« on: August 09, 2017, 12:38:01 pm »
It's seems like I'm constantly hungry for information and knowledge.  Lately, I've been working on my website.

It's time for me to learn what I'm doing with search engine optimization.

I could go to the library but I live in a small town where the topic I want to read about might be limited.

I decided to look for books on Amazon about SEO that have great reviews.  There are plenty of kindle books out there where I wouldn't have to wait for the book to be shipped to me.

Then I decided to check the Youtube videos.  I found several Youtube videos that could be very educational so I feel like I've hit the jackpot.  They're free and I can learn when it fit's into my schedule.

Life is good.

Where do you go when you want to learn something new?
Have a great day!

   To the Internet because many books are obsolete or highly opinionated...plus they are
very time-consuming. Now, do not belief everything you see, read or hear. Use your personal
judgement to draw some conclusions.

I usually go to the library and ask a librarian. I guess I'm old-fashioned, but they tend to know the best places to search for info online, or, if there's a book on the topic I'm interested in that they could recommend.

 go to the internet for information or to someone that already knows what I am looking for and also to the source.  It seems like there is always something new  and  I like to keep up to a certain degree.

Like others the internet is my first choice when looking for something I need to learn.  I only wish the internet was around when I was in school (showing my age here) because I honestly believe I would have been more interested.

I go to books to learn about people, places and things.

Sometimes educational TV, biographies or documentaries can teach you all sorts of new things.

I check out youtube to learn how to do something myself. There is like EVERYTHING on there.

Oh gosh it depends on what I'm doing.  I've become very close to Bing and youtube as well.  I'm an avid DIY'er and if I can figure something out on my own (Even though it may take me 3x's as long) I'd rather do so .... having the knowledge is powerful.  Things I tinkered with 20 years ago are now becoming the foundation of what I'm doing with myself these days.
