Internet marketing, also referred to as online marketing, Internet advertising, e-Marketing is the marketing of products or services over the Internet. Online marketing ties together creative and technical aspects of the internet, including design, development, advertising and sales. Internet marketing as of 2008 is growing faster than other types of media.
Internet marketing ties together creative and technical aspects of the internet, including design, development, advertising and sales. It does not simply mean building or promoting a website nor does it mean simply putting a banner ad up on another website. There are a few important characteristics that differentiate Internet marketing from off-line marketing. One major differences is probably the amount of start up capital needed to start a business. On the internet, all you need is a domain name and a web hosting server for you to get started. This cost is minimal.
Internet marketing is just something and everywhere. Online e-marketing is by far the fastest growing advertising method for all companies in this day and age. It is a specialized field and requires a unique combination of marketing expertise and technical resources that very few companies in the world can provide. Thus, you need to put in effort to make this work and I can tell you that the potential of income that you are looking at is an amount that you cannot believe. Super marketers are making millions of dollars on the Internet today and there seems to be no sign of slowing down for Internet Marketing.
This is not so much about the hours that you put in each day but more about business model. You can put in the same number of hours into one internet marketing business model as another and make twice as much money. But how is that? Is it because the market is bigger? Or is it because of something else? Well, this article is going to explain why you can put in the same effort into two different business models and make twice as much money from one of them.
Even though there are really many types of business models, essentially the two main models come down to either selling a product or selling an ongoing service. To better illustrate this, let me give you an example of each.
Let's take the product first. I have a business model where I sell ebooks. Now, once I sell an ebook to a prospect, that's it. I can't sell him that ebook again. Once he has it, he has it. So the only way I am going to earn more money from this person is if I have other ebooks to sell him. If not, in order to get more income, I have to get more prospects. This is a simplified model, but I think it illustrates my point.
Now, let's take the ongoing service model. Let's take a company like Aweber. Aweber is a company that provides an autoresponder service. I happen to use the service myself. As a matter of fact, I signed up with Aweber about a year or so ago. Now, every month that I use their service, I have to pay a fee. So look at this model. They make one sale to me and they collect an income from me for months, maybe years.
Do you see where the second model is actually less work? Once you've sold your service on the person, if they find after using it that they can't live without it, they're very likely to continue using it for a very long time. So you're doing the same amount of work but for every sale you make, you're making what is called a residual income.
It's certainly something to consider when trying to decide exactly what it is you want to do with your Internet marketing career.
To YOUR Success,
