Aside from learning about freelancing for instance that for refering people or selling products as an affiliate. I have to assist people now and again.I personally favour the socratic method of teaching.As the name suggests that wise old Greek socrates, created the system.These socrates never lectured. Instead they taught by asking questions as actively engage the learners in active learning with the intention of keeping the students awake and perhaps even making them think.Socrates pointed out the thought that writing itself would harm a person 's ability to internalise learning, the printed word acting as a substitute for true understanding. Bill Gates(2007/2/10)in sentinel says "learning is mostly about creating a context for motivation.It's about creating why you should learn things."
The probing questions help to assess the assumed knowledge to be revealed for the edification of people in those areas of online business other than affiliates or freelancing alone.People in affiliates or freelancing already fully aware of the system and use it all the time.Many even use it to teach their referals the strategies.
A short time ago I was discussing with one of our brighter young lady in freelancing.She quickly realised when she needed to know something it was quicker to ask than to dig through the files.Her constant interruptions had to stop.And so the next time she come into my home office, I socraticed her.
"What would you do if I wasn't here?"I questioned.She replied that she had to call me on my mobile."But what would you do if I was run over by a bus?" Game ,set and match I thought.Her reply was quick and in a voice full of concern she said , "Sir I would take you to the clinic."So much for the socrates.
