Hey there, I am Shannon Murphy. A recent Virginia Tech graduate and proud internet marketer. I have experience in several areas within the Internet marketing niche. This experience, including tips and new marketing ideas, can be found through my company's blog, www.TheMarketingSpartan.com
When you hear people talk of internet marketing, it is thought of as one career, one profession, one skill to master, when in reality internet marketing is a literal gold mine of money making techniques. I can say I am an expert in internet marketing, but I am really am just familiar in the subjects of search engine optimization (SEO), web site creation and design, copy write, blog optimization, viral video marketing, and more...All of which contribute to my expertise in internet marketing.
It is amazing that some people are experts in one area and they make a more than decent livings, sometimes multi-million dollar livings by being an expert in one of those subjects I just mentioned. Just think, if I was an expert in everything? My point is, expertise is not needed to be a successful home business entrepreneur using the internet. The opportunities are vast, not only through what you learn as an individual about what works and what doesn't in the internet marketing world, but also in the opportunities that are flat out given to you.
Affiliate programs for example, are companies and individuals paying you, just to promote their product (and generate leads and sales of course). Google Adsense pays you simply just to place their ads within your blog or website. Ad sponsorship and affiliates are just a tip of the iceberg when it comes to the most simplistic ways to make money online. Have you ever heard of private label rights and master resell rights? In this case other marketers create a product and pay you to promote and make sales for them. In the case of master resell rights, you can buy the rights to the product, re-brand it, and sell it for whatever price you choose for 100% profit!
The one common misconception of internet marketing is it doesn't take a lot of time to create a money making empire producing profit on auto-pilot. The truth, that people do not like to hear, is it does take work and money to make the business of a lifetime. Learning simple tasks such as how to manage your domains through C-Panel, using FTP-servers to upload files and videos to your server, and basic marketing techniques can be the difference between a long-living prosperous business and a "one night fling."
This brings me to my next subject, the various marketing techniques that are available to the internet marketer. Free marketing through Yahoo! Groups, free traffic exchanges, free downline builders, and article posts are efficient in bulk. More expensive methods such as video marketing, Google Adwords, and upgraded versions of traffic exchanges and down line builders may seem costly, but compared to the cost the possible revenue created from using them will be worth the expenses.
As you can see through this post, internet marketing has more than 4 sides, more than an up and a down, more than 3 dimensions, all of which are at your taking to help you create a self made internet business, creating you income with no ceiling and no limits. It truly is a profession that will be saturated within the years to come, once the potential of the marketing scene reaches full exposure, but we aren't there yet, we are still in the prime of the internet marketing revolution, Join us...
