What's The Difference Between Authors, Bloggers And Internet Marketers?

Ever wonder what the difference between authors, bloggers and internet marketers are? I mean most authors have blogs. Bloggers use internet marketing artistry and write books as well. The internet marketers publish books and post blogs. Ever wonder who makes the most money? Using the same information you have bloggers that give away article for free. They are summarizing the information from a book. Authors books goes about $20. They are an expert on the information and I'm sure has the experience to publish it. And of course the internet marketers who have live events that goes about $15,000 to attend. Which they read the book and filter important points for his live event.

Ever wonder why any of them engage in the first place? Many authors write a book to express themselves or just to have it published. Most bloggers don't profit but write just to get things off their chest. Internet marketing is entirely about profit. Even if it don't always make the money.

Lets take a closer look at all three people. The authors books usually has a lot of contents. You would need time to write a book. Some authors put experience from their lifetime in books. Because of the amount of research and the length that goes into a book, you'll find the most information, compared to a blog post or in Internet marketing products. Not to say books are better, sometimes less is more. You end up thumbing through pages to find what you're looking for. But again some successful people are successful because they know a lot by reading lots of books. So writing a book won't get you a profit quickly. It might get you credibility and exposure.

The bloggers write in-depth article content, which they distribute on a weekly or daily basis. Pillar Article style content is about teaching people how to do things. You also build credibility as an expert by blogging. And slowly you will establish an audience.

Blogs can make great money, but it does take a while to get going. Most bloggers choose only to do advertising. Since advertising tends to pay out on traffic, you would have to have a large amount of traffic. You again would need services behind the blog to start really profiting. If bloggers would open their eyes to the potential their blog gives them, like sell their own information products. Lots of bloggers give away a lot of good ideas on their blogs, and this is a good thing to start a downstream. But understand this is only the first step.

Internet marketers are good when it comes to making money. They look for the best profit models and go after the key variables. They know profit comes from email lists with high conversion rates. They leverage their time and charge lots of money for what they provide. Internet marketers provide quality information by reading the books that are published by authors, and they take action focusing on maximizing profits.

It's just not only the Internet marketers who sell Internet marketing products, it's the Internet marketers who sell everything you can possibly think about. They know how to get the most out of what they provide. They sell information products that has a range of prices and targets markets with specific products. By the looks of things I would say the internet marketer makes the most money overall.

I'm not saying everybody stop what you are doing and start internet marketing. There's a lot of things to consider. Everyone new to internet marketing wants money and they want it today. People want the quickest path to success to get instant gratification. Unfortunately for these people, there are no quick fixes. Internet marketing is one part.

The blogger needs to use Internet marketing so they can leverage more from what they already produce. They need to know what It's okay to sell your content and not give everything away for free. It's time to focus on more than just advertising and start building an email list. Time to think of building a business and not just writing a blog as a job.

Internet marketers need to think business building too. Using credibility tools like a book and a blog that will give you leverage to position yourself ahead of the competition. Internet marketers need to work on keeping a relationship with their customers. They tend to focus only on the quick buck. Not planning on the long term.

Authors need to make money beyond just book sales. Having a blog as a companion to a book is a great strategy. Leveraging Internet marketing allows you to profit from your published book and also maintaining a blog.

Having a book and a popular blog and making money behind the scene is the ideal setting to build a business around your expertise. This wont happen overnight. Knowing what to do is where to start.

If you are starting on a fresh slate, start by gathering all the knowledge you are missing. Educate yourself and get creative. After that set up stepping stone to reach your goals.

Re: Best Internet Marketing Strategy - Hi David, I agree about the Blogosphere. You have a smaller group that Blog, but do so on the premise that they think they should, but have never really considered the purpose of their Blog. Then I think there are a few SEO or Internet Marketing types that see Blogging as just another link building strategy. But the largest group of Bloggers, tend to be people who enjoy writing and discussing their topics of interest. Blogging is good for link building, but the true Blogger is a breed apart from the rest. They want to dialog, to debate, to have feedback and they are very willing to link to other worthwhile conversations that are relevant to their topic. I agree with you. These group of Bloggers obviously are passionate about their writing and together, they create huge conversation trails interactive and travel from Blog to Blog. But the evidence is clear with this group that loves what they write about. With comments enabled on a Blog and having a Blog tuned to a specific purpose you already have the evidence of original Social Media.
