The Internet Marketing blog of Mike Merz, Internet Marketing consultant, in regards to what's hot ... and what's not, in the world of Internet Marketing.
Oops! ... didn't get back as soon as I expected, with all the end of year legal biz. :P
Anyway ...
While cruising through the various eBiz forums I frequent (forum surfing on popular boards within your niche is highly recommended ... a great way to expose yourself, stay on top of things, find out what others like you are doing, looking for, etc. ... just, PLEASE ... read the forum rules before participating, lest you desire being flamed and blackballed ..;) ... what was I saying?
Oh yes ... while surfing the boards I ran across more than the usual number of "How do I make money Online?", and "I don't know where to start! ARRGGHH!" ...
I'll try to make this simple ...
Marketing Online is a BUSINESS ... not a GAME.
It requires the same planning, organization, research, testing, tweaking, tracking, and LEARNING, etc. so on and so forth, as it's Offline counterpart ... just a different medium, tis all.
There is no free lunch ... there is no magic bullet ... you will have work your a@@ off to be successful ... at least in the beginning.
But ... OH! ... how good you'll feel, once you 'get it'. ;)
If you don't have the bucks to pick up one of the more reputable 'how to' courses, jump on down to the public library and check out a popular title or two ... but regardless of what avenue you take, you have to work at learning HOW, before you can DO.
If you think Internet Marketing is a 'get rich quick' scheme ... sending out a few thousand SPAM, cut n paste content messages in between Online gaming ... you are in for one RUDE awakening!
Enough ranting for today ..;)
If you'd like to engage in, or sit back and take in, real ebiz discussions ... and learn how to do this Online thing the RIGHT way ... jump by
my forum.
No, you don't have to buy anything ..:P
Just hang out ... or join, free, and participate.
Till next time ...
Mike
