What do you mean by basic, intermediate etc.

Stupid question probably, but I'm just wondering as I couldn't find on the internet.

I see a lot of titles with "beginner guide" and stuff like that. After I learn them, where am I exactly positioned?

Am I still a newbie? Or an intermediate?

How do I evolve from intermediate to advanced and so on?

Is it all about mastering these basics stuff that climbs me on the ladder?

In regards to online marketing or everything?

Both if you don't mind.

Let's put this into an easier perspective:

Basic: Training wheels on your bicycle.
Intermediate: No training wheels, riding on your own.
Advanced: Flatland and BMX. (see youtube for further video explanation of 'flatland BMX' - good niche btw).
