   (Aji: I will keep editing this post)
   Hi,

   Thanks for asking this very interesting question. Let me lay down a small course for self study (We encourage that):

   1. Learn what marketing is (around 2 weeks): I would have recommended a book like Philip Kotler. If you are looking for online study, try http://managementhelp.org/mrktng/mrktng.htm (I haven't gone through it) or search for other systematic study. See all the examples, learn various Ps with good examples.
   2. Learn how web is adding a different dimension to marketing: Again I would suggest some books, Seth Godin's Meat Ball Sundae http://www.seoforclients.com/edu/books.html . Read few blogs like Seth Godin's blog http://sethgodin.typepad.com/ , see some of the videos at http://www.ted.com (Jeff Bezos - founder - Amazon and some other videos on web)
   3. Now understand what web marketing is about
      - Website
      - Web promotions
      - Web community etc etc
   4. Learn how to create a website:
      - Learn html http://www.w3schools.com/html/DEFAULT.asp
      - Learn CSS http://www.w3schools.com/css/
      - Create a blog at blogspot
      - Create a blog at wordpress
      - Get register at some of the important forums like http://www.webmasterworld.com
      - Book a domain http://www.seoforclients.com/blog/marketing/domain-selection-registration.html
      - Get a hosting
      - Make a website running
   5. (Optional but recommended as web is technical stuff) Learn a little technical stuffs:
      - Learn about dns, webserver etc, you will get help from http://www.idealwebtools.com/blog/dns/
      - Learn one programming language , Learn php
   6. Learn about some basic usability stuffs:
      - How people read on web a lot of other articles at http://www.useit.com/alertbox/ (Read as much as possible)
   
   - Read some of the books http://www.seoforclients.com/edu/books.html
   7. Now come to web promotions:
      - Learn about SEO http://www.seomoz.org/article/beginners-guide-to-search-engine-optimization
      - Learn about PPC http://www.seoforclients.com/forums/topic/28
      - Learn about community building
      - Learn about affiliate marketing
      - Learn about choose a right mix
   8. Practical:
      - Try to rank for a keywords like "mubleeeee dumpleeeeee kumbleee" which has no competition.

   While learning:
   - Keep a list of the new words
   - Don't forget to search YouTube for some of the related videos, I learn the new things from YouTube first.
   - Ask queries in forums
   - Whom you know is more important than what you know, so keep making friends in this web world, use twitter, drop comments on their blog etc etc

   Enjoy
