Don't Quite The Day Job, Yet
We all have seen the way the Web can transform society
. As the Internet community develops, so does the potential to market almost anything. Actually, promoting products on the Web that teach you how to sell on the Internet has become a robust niche business. Such methods to marketing online vary wildly from Facebook or Myspace blogging to the pricey multi-media ad campaigns.Access to this type of marketing is open to just about anyone. However, as you would expect, it begs the question:If so many people are doing this type of marketing, does it not saturate the market, making it even more and more difficult to succeed? The short answer is one you'd probably hear about any business. The weak players don't last through lack of determination, funding or both--the tenaciously well-funded ones move on to succeed.
Probably, the most common thesis among the folks who sell Internet marketing products is the notion that there are so many products to promote online, and countless ways to pitch them that in essence there is room for everyone. However, this issue is a matter of debate for the many of us still waiting for that first Clickbank sale.
The general sense I get from tech gurus and the like is that most people do fail at Internet marketing. As recently suggested, the most typical reason for failure is that the would-be marketer gives up too easily. Part of the problem is that expectations are built up when being sold these products, and when things don't pan out, the customer feels cheated and discouraged. Too much hype can convey messages that are too good to be true. On the other hand, stating purely realistic outcomes would probably result in poor sales. Did you ever see a website that said, "Work real hard for 10 months with this tool and you will most likely break even! Purchase now to capture free bonus."?
Another factor in the realm of internet marketing is the dominant presence of the Google search engine. Seasoned pros have even fretted about the seemly arbitrary way they conduct business. The fear that at any time the rug can be pulled out from under your Internet marketing business is a general concern, when Google does something such as change an algorithm. On the other hand, some leaders of the tech marketing world simply emphasize a more balanced a approach. For instance, treating Yahoo and Bing search engines as integral parts of your marketing strategy seems quite sensible. And needlessly worrying about Google's next "move" seems counterproductive.
One rather unpleasant aspect of taking an Internet marketing course is that once you sign up for one, you become inundated with several other offers to join various other programs. One may simply be overload as it is with the current program. Another might feel buyer's remorse when another course offering seems more attractive than the one already paid for. Most noticeable is the fact that there are conflicting views on many concepts and topics. In my view, this is probably a good sign suggesting that there are not just a few, but many ways to increase site traffic, click-through rates and hopefully sales.
Lately, it seems that Internet marketers have a healthy obsession with Search Engine Optimization. I say healthy because the essential goal is free traffic as opposed to paid traffic. Possessing some form of leverage against the multi-billion dollar search engines is not a terribly bad thing. However, it is tedious work for most in the field. Yet the more you do it, the more adept you will be at picking the right keywords for your marketing campaign it seems.
There is a bright future for the Internet marketer starting out. Economies here and abroad have had to restructure to begin growing again. Internet marketing just might be the answer to the discouraged unemployed worker. When you consider the typical financing it takes to start a business, starting an online endeavor can be realized for just a fraction of the cost. In recent years, some of the youngest entrepreneurs in their late teens have become 6 figure earners through YouTube and similar media. This example simply illustrates a group of young adults that started with little or no financing, and within a few years catapulted to staggering success. Nevertheless,like any other business venture, internet marketing requires a strong work ethic and an undying willingness to succeed.
