When it comes to using software programs and applications you cannot break anything.\r\nAlmost all software now comes with training videos so you can learn from those and then play around with the software. If you make a mistake or do something wrong it can be undone so don&#8217;t worry. By doing this you will learn how it works over time and get used to using it.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\u00a0\r\n<ul>\r\n    <li>If you do not know or cannot figure out how to do something you can always search on Google.\r\nThere will be other people with the same question who have asked on forums and there will usually always be plenty of answers too.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\u00a0\r\n<ul>\r\n    <li>Youtube is another great resource for finding information and videos explaining how to use software and applications.\u00a0You can learn about pretty much anything on Youtube these days and of course the best part is that its free too.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\u00a0\r\n<ul>\r\n    <li>Another place to look is in the many Facebook Groups that are now widely available to join.\r\nYou can join a few active Facebook Groups and ask questions there. There will almost always be people with the knowledge who are willing to offer you assistance.\u00a0A group to start with is my very own Facebook Group which you can find here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1103946142958522\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Internet Marketing Den<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\u00a0\r\n<ul>\r\n    <li>Finally, if you still cannot figure something out or simply don&#8217;t have to time or don&#8217;t want to do it yourself, you can always outsource the task.\u00a0Many tasks can now be outsourced inexpensively at websites such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiverr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fiverr.<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul><br \/>I hope you have found this post useful.\r\n\r\n\u00a0 <br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nUntil nest time.\r\n\r\n\u00a0 <br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nPeace, Love and Success,\r\n\r\n\u00a0 <br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nDonal","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey there, \u00a0 One of the things that hold many people back when they first start tryig to build an online business is the tech side of things.
