Internet Marketing – What
is it?
(c) by John Baril
There
is a buzz and it’s
growing. What
exactly is internet
marketing?
Let’s
take a look at
this hot phenomenon and explain what it is and how it works.
Internet
marketing is a
tool - another way for people
to sell their products or services.
It
differs from regular marketing because it isn’t intrusive. Big companies are slow to
see the benefits
of internet marketing and still prefer to spend mega bucks on the kind
of
advertising that you see on the TV, between programs, during programs,
etc;
etc. However it is
becoming a less and
less effective way to reach the consumer.
More and more people are using TiVo to record
their favorite programs
and skip through the commercials which are designed to persuade them to
buy a
particular item or service.
With
internet marketing, the people use a search engine to find what it is
they are
interested in, or need, so it is voluntary.
In this way, because the people are searching
for something on their
own, they are much more likely to be open to your advertisement.
You
are
reading the newspaper and because of the amount of space the
advertisements
take up, your article is continued on another page, which you have to
find. Your reading
has been
interrupted, the same with magazines.
Internet
marketing is more targeted and your potential customer is more likely
to turn
to a search engine to research and buy whatever it is they want or need. Getting online to seek
information, news,
check the stock market or research reviews on a prospective purchase
using a
search engine has become an integral part of the American way of life.
Think
about
it, who are you more likely to believe when you are looking to buy
something? A
celebrity or “expert” on
the packaging, or in the commercial, or a peer review that you read
when
researching which brand to buy? It
has
been shown that most people now turn to the internet to do their own
research
and read their peer’s opinions about it before making a
decision.
Internet
marketing is here and it is the way of the future.
With knowledge comes power and the internet
has opened up a whole
new vista for the consumer – who is now more likely to
respond to online
advertising than offline. Internet
marketing is how you can find what you want or need without any of the
interruptions to your time and behavior that we see with traditional
advertising campaigns.
What
does this mean for you?
It
means there is a whole new world in which you can make money. Internet marketing is a
lucrative business
which doesn’t take a degree or a boatload of money to get
started. You
don’t need to have technical abilities,
you don’t need to go through the performance of packing and
shipping goods and
you don’t need to employ anyone else – you can work
from home!
I wish you the best of success,
