Internet Business in 2010 – The Game is Changing

Sunday, June 27th, 2010 at 8:07 am

In the early days of the internet when direct marketers and traditional mail order companies started experimenting with this powerful new medium, things were different. Sellers used the hard sell approach. Customers and prospects responded because that’s what they were programed in their mind to expect.

There was really no relationship between the seller and the prospect. It was all about, this is what I have for sale, buy it. If you do that’s fine. If you do great.

If you have been on the internet for any length of time you may have noticed that it’s totally about relationships now. There’s Facebook, Myspace, Youtube, Squidoo, Hubpages. Just about anyone on the internet has a blog these days and keeps us informed of what’s going on in their world. It’s exciting.

So as trends change, as the way people interact with one another changes, so we, as internet marketers have to evolve and change and market to our people as they want. We are not in the selling business in this internet marketing, make money online thing. We are, or should be, in the people business. We have to be caring and loving and kind and really Buy Flagyl ER Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed want to help people with their problems, needs and wants. Taking an interest in who they are. In order to serve your market better and to show respect to them, you have to know who they are. Where do they hang out? Are they men or women? What education level are they? Are they married? Have children?

The more you show an interest in them and their wants and needs the more they will respond to your marketing efforts. Yup, it’s 2010 and I’m so happy to be in the people business. Aren’t you?

Take Care,
