If you're in marketing but you haven't learned about the Internet as a market, you're behind the times and you need to learn about it. If you don't know about Internet marketing now, and you don't start learning about it right away, you'll be missing out on a lot of money now and maybe even more money in the future.
Here are 10 reasons why you should bone up on your skills in Internet marketing if you haven't already.
1) THE INTERNET IS HERE TO STAY. The Internet is not some flash in the pan. It's THEE wave to ride in the 21st century. Every single year sees great leaps in the amount of Internet traffic and the amount of information, including business and product marketing information, placed on the Web. Wake up to this reality and use it or lose out.
2) ONLINE MARKETING IS CHEAP. If you're trying to run a bricks-and-mortar-housed business and you're still making major use of paper or mail-out CDs, you may be having some success but you'll never, ever get the ROI that you can from Internet marketing. Your clients are web surfers. Your prospects are, too. Why lay out all that cash when for what amounts to pennies a day you can reach more people and do it faster? And if you're trying to run an online business and no-one is coming to your websites, you really need to learn about the cheap methods of doing Internet marketing.
3) INTERNET MARKETING IS FAST. Once you get things initially set up, marketing online, using digital power, takes off almost by itself due to its viral nature. You can never move as fast offline as you can online, because the Net is the information hub of the 21st century.
4) INTERNET MARKETING IS "EASY," RELATIVELY SPEAKING. Not only is Internet marketing faster and cheaper than its traditional counterpart, but it's also relatively easy compared to traditional marketing. You don't have to have salesmen working for you, you don't have to make cold calls, you don't have to stuff envelopes, and you don't have to do voiceovers.
5) YOU CAN HAVE FUN WITH INTERNET MARKETING. And you can do it in any way that suits your fancy. Work in your jammies, listen to your favorite music, surf at your leisure, watch TV, play with your cat. You can't get fired because you're your own boss.
6) ONLINE MARKETING CAN SET YOU FREE. Not only is online marketing more fun, but if you play your cards right to make it successful, you can say goodbye to your 9-to-5 job and go work for yourself. Work when you want, as much as you want, when it's best for you.
7) THERE'S NO BETTER FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY. There are so many products and services you can get into online and you can seek them out so fast with such small cost it's ridiculous.
8) YOU CAN GET MORE PROSPECTS. Basically, your audience is literally global. As long as they speak your language (in this case, usually English), you can sell to them. After all, it is called the "World Wide Web."
9) IT'S COOL. If you don't have kick-butt online marketing and content going on for you these days, you're seen as a nobody.
10) GET IN NOW WHILE THE GETTING'S GOOD. If you can get into online marketing now, you'll pay lower prices than you will at any time in the future. Its cost is increasing as more entrepreneurs realize how valuable it is. Therefore, get it at today's prices, and save yourself some money.
