Article Overview: Why should you learn internet marketing? Can you sell any product to anyone, anywhere in the world at any time? If not, you need a marketing education.

Why Should You Learn Internet Marketing?

Internet marketing is a skill that every business person and entrepreneur should have. It is a skill that is required in today’s new economy. You can’t get by with old school sales any more when 80% of the population go to the internet for answers to questions and when they are looking to buy, they look first for information online. If you don’t have a presence on the internet for your business, you are missing selling to 80% of the population. Most buying is done as people are emotionally charged and want to get thins instantly. That is why having products available by internet is much more valuable than owning a store front.

If I wanted to buy a stereo, I would search the internet to see which one has the best ratings. I would then search the best price for the model I chose. Sometimes it is in the store, like Best Buy, sometimes it is on eBay, or maybe even Craigslist. But most of the time the best deals are online. So, I take out my credit card and make the purchase.

The guarantees on products now make buying from the internet a safer process. The attitude of skepticism has gone and delivery of a quality working product is the norm.

So what kind of things will you learn with an internet marketing education? You will learn different kinds of marketing such as how to write articles about your product and distribute them to hundreds of ezines at a time. You will learn video marketing and social media marketing which is the very place your customers are hanging out and looking for opportunities to buy. You will learn how to write press releases for your business as well as Pay Per Click and Banner advertising. These are just a few of the ways you can get your service, product or idea in front of millions of people for little to no money at all.

Conventional advertising still works, but costs a lot more to implement. A bit of both is ideal for your business. But, if you are building your business on a budget, there is no better place to spend your money than on an education on internet marketing and how to get your message out to the masses.

Once you learn this skillset. You will be able to apply it to any business or product you choose. You will be able to sell any product to anyone, anywhere and at anytime. There is no better way to spend your money than on your own marketing education.

Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Kevin, Like GT suggested, I also think you can add Internet Marketing as a sub category in the Marketing section and also a Social marketing as subcategory. Online marketing/internet marketing/online promotion are the same, and it will be best to use the common term - Internet marketing. I can't think about someone to moderate a Social Marketing category. We all use it, we all know how to make it work and we all have our own different experience with it.
Internet Marketing Conference on SLife - I've been trying to log in but it keeps crashing.. anyways.. a friend of mine in BC plans on holding Internet Marketing Conferences on SecondLife and have the same top internet marketers that would normally be in Live Internet Marketing conference speak. Income will be generated from admission charges, product sales during breaks, sponsor tables, etc etc.. Just to get the ideas flowing in your head that anything you can do in the real world can be replicated in SL. There is no planned date as of yet for this conference.

The one thing I might add for clarification to readers is on point number 4 concerning "dominating" search results. I always like to clarify the importance of dominating for a variety of well researched keyword phrases that ideally target your ideal buying audience. Sometimes people misunderstand and think the objective is too dominate all top 10 spots for the same keyword. The reason this is not wise is that anyone successfully dominating all top 10 spots may actually be reported to Google Abuse because the purpose of a search engine is to display a variety of choices. Competitors can become quite upset with a company who is dominating all top 10 spots for the same phrase. I realize you know this already, but just thought I'd throw it in for anyone new to SEO. A better way to "dominate" is for a variety of very well researched phrases to pull in multiple audiences of readers. Great post Jenny. Thanks
Re: Hi from a Manhattan coach - Hi Julie, Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you here and thank you for telling us a little about yourself. You sound like a very enthusiastic person who likes what she does and in Internet Marketing that is very important and you also sound like a 'people person' which is great. Internet Marketing is time consuming and challenging but can also be extremely rewarding and hopefully profitable. I don't know how many forums you have signed up to but this is one of the best. The support and guidance you get here is what makes it the success that it is but as I am sure you know from looking at the side bar that there are many aspects of business that are catered for here which will help you along the way, best wishes, Mal.
