Find out What the Experts know
One of the most fantastic things that have
happened in recent times is the spread of knowledge. There is very little that
you cannot know if you set your mind to it. In fact, if you set your mind to
it, then you can find out things from the experts themselves. And, if you put
in a little more effort, you could find out just what the experts know.
Knowing What the Experts Know
The world of knowledge dissemination has
undergone a radical change because of the arrival
of the Internet. Now, you no longer need to depend on a library book to tell
you what to do. There are multiple ways in which you can find out information
on the Internet. You can find out information on almost every niche that you
can think of. Whether you are trying to look for information on something very
popular like how to lose your weight, or you are trying to look information on
something that is a very narrow niche like how to solve a problem on
integration, you have the accessibility to information. But, it goes farther
than that. If you put your mind into it, you could actually find out things
from the experts. You could find out what the specialists of any niche are
telling about a particular topic. How fantastic that would be! You can find out
things right from the subject gurus. Our predecessors may have predicted
various things about our times, but I don’t think they ever thought that the
whole world will become this vast complex
network in which information could be available to anyone who wanted it,
directly from the people who are an authority on the subject.
How to Find Information from Experts
So, how do you go about finding information from experts? There are
actually several ways to do it.
1. Articles written by experts are available easily on the Internet.
These articles pertain to almost every niche conceivable.
2. The second way where you can find information on a particular topic
is by looking for a blog on that subject. There are many blogs on almost
everything and you could find them easily using Google. Just type the keyword
that relates to the blog and type the word „blog‟ after it. Many blogs will
show up. Open up all of them and see what they contain. I am certainly not
trying to tell you that all these blogs will be excellent, but you are surely
going to find something that you will really like. In many ways, you will find
that blogs are better than articles. Blogs are updated information. Once an
article is written, the author will usually forget about it. But this does not
happen with a blog. Any blogger will continuously have to update their blog if
they have to keep their prospects high. Hence you are going to find new
information on your favorite blog almost every time you visit it. Blogs are
also great because you can comment on them. If you like something, you can post
your comment on the blog and the blog owner can read it. Even if you detest
something, you can write about it on a blog. But, the best thing is that if you
want some clarification on something, you can ask the blog poster about it. You
can ask them a direct question, and it will mostly be answered. For the
blogger, answering your question becomes a way of keeping the blog active. If
wanted, they can convert the response to your question into a new blog post
itself. This helps them put something on the blog, and hence attract more
traffic.
3. Right now, a great way to find information right from the experts is
to check out videos on websites like YouTube. You will find entire channels of
videos added by experts, who usually have a business that they are trying to
promote through these videos. However, that should not bother you. Even if
these people have some commercial interest in mind, you should realize that
these people have a business about the subject you are looking for information
on. So, you can be a little more accepting of their credibility and their
expertise. Moreover, you will find that the videos itself are a great thing.
When something is so visual, you can certainly understand it better and you
immediately want to put it into use. Even videos give you the opportunity to
ask questions to the creator of the video. You could tell them about something
in the comments section that follows the videos. When they read them, they are
sure to generate some kind of interest if what you are saying is good
information. In fact, you could just read the comments put in by other viewers
of Internet. Even that could give you a very good idea of the subject for which
you need information.
4. Download e-Books. You are sure to find a veritable goldmine of
information in them. E-Books are invariably written by people who know the
subject thoroughly. These people have high credibility. Most of the technical e-Books
that you will find on the Internet are distributed by online companies and not
individuals. The information found in them is rich and useful. You can download
e-Books from blogs and websites, which may offer links for the download. It is
possible that they will ask you your e-mail before downloading. There is
usually no ulterior motive in this. All they will want to do is to add you to
their list so that they can inform you of more products later on. Yes, there is
a promotional intention here, but you won’t be sold anything to until you agree
to purchase it. And, in any case, if you are getting a highly informative e-Book
out of it, then why should you not go for it?
5. I always give a lot of importance to the social networking websites
for getting great content as well. There have been so many examples when I have found things from these websites.
I am present on most of the social networking websites. If you are looking for
a good, professional-type social network to tap into, then you should look for
the following two: Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/)
and LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/) .
Not only will you get a huge network of professional people here to connect
with, but you will benefit a lot from their expertise. Both of these are
professional websites.
The networks are of people
who are looking to connect with each other for some or the other business
associated reason. They are not together for fun or entertainment or just
passing their time as you will find on some of the other networking websites on
the Internet, but these people are together for enhancing their business
prospects. A lot of these people will talk about their professions directly and
will solicit help and guidance for everyone else in their list. LinkedIn is
slightly different, but very helpful all the same. This is where you make your
professional profiles and link with other people. These people become a part of
your group; they can recommend you to others and connect with you for any other
business associated reason. Your profile on LinkedIn could be a great enhancement
to your resume as well. Nowadays, several employers screen their prospective
job applicants on places like LinkedIn so that they get a good idea of what
these people are like. So, being visible on the Internet pays in more ways than
one. It is not just about getting the information you want; it is also about
linking with people to enhance your prospects.
For its sheer size of
population and its popularity, you may want to consider a profile on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/). Chances are that
everyone you know is already on Facebook and they are connecting with each
other. You can make a lot of friends here; you can also connect with the
friends of your friends and just about anyone. Just get in touch with people
and build your network. Whenever you want any information, you have connections
with a vast multitude of people. Surely a lot of them are experts in the
subject and they will tell you what they know to help you out. So, these are
some of the places where you would like to go to find information, right from
the experts. Try them out… you will be surprised at what you can find.
