Marketing 2011 And Beyond!

21 years old really isn't a barometer in today's modern America for business and wealth like it would be, say, 20 years ago. LeBron James, being the perfect example, cashed in 100 million dollars in endorsement deals before he even stepped onto NBA hardwood. But an ex-alcoholic who is jaded with public education and basically the laziest guy in the known universe, that being me, would not be worth as much in terms of value to, say, Nike, Adidas, and whoever else wants to throw millions of dollars at what the vast majority of people would consider a kid, like the 18 year old, at the time, LeBron James.

But this isn't about King James. It isn't even about me. It's about a lifestyle that enables me to approach King James' level of income. Not even playing with you. This lifestyle has made people one hundred thousand dollars. In one month. Millions of dollars a year. More than enough to not have to work in fast food to pay off student loans. More than enough to be totally and completely financially free, all without having to ever clock in, fill out online applications for less than ideal retail jobs (that being a generous description), and dealing with the wonderfully acidic "what have you done for me lately?" nature of the general corporate workplace. It's made me more than enough to move out of my family's home, focus on my musical and personal endeavors, and otherwise be completely free of the nine to five "involuntary" servitude of the traditional worker.

This lifestyle is the automated existence of the smart, successful online affiliate marketer.

And you have more than enough potential to become a member of this fraternity of like-minded individuals.

Imagine this: You're holding up a sign that says "Buy now" in the middle of a humongous, perpetually busy, and unsleeping city that just so happens to have a road that leads right to where you are with a never ending sea of people walking to you and past you to get where they need to go. Millions of people pass you by and thousands stop and give you $20. Now imagine that scene happening all day long every day, and instead of you standing there you have a device similar to an ATM machine. The people stop, swipe their card and you get paid instantly. That's what successful affiliate marketing is all about. The venue is humongous, that being the internet, perpetually busy, with millions of ways for people to find your marketed product, and it is unsleeping, with the global community online 24 hours a day.

You will sell products, provide means for others to sell those products, receive money for both selling said products, referring people to sell your products for you, and building membership of affiliate markets all over the world, among many other things all in one website. If you can believe it, the most insane, unbelievable part about it is that that entire process is done for you by a truly generous and wonderful human being, Stone Evans, whose sole pursuit is to help others like me and maybe you find a way to make it in today's chaotic world and the way it is done requires almost no attention on your part. The nitty gritty process is done for you all you have to do is tell people about it.

You don't have to be King James to be a successful financial commodity at a young age, or ANY age for that matter. All you need is the internet, the courage to try something that seems totally insane at first, and to sign up for a few affiliate pages and get a domain. That's under 50 dollars and less than an hour of your time folks.

I'm more inclined to believe that the national switch to all- digital broadcasting will, in the main, be a boon to small business/small budget advertisers...

Products, Platforms and Programs used by Internet Marketers can now be readily adapted to the general TV viewing public for much less cost then a standard campaign on the dying analogue system. Imagine the power of creating a video ad for your product "You Tube" style, and then being able to upload that same ad to TV from your own computer... That possibility is what's really exciting me these days! :)

The main problem that I can immediately see is that old-school bug-a-boo called Spam... Digital TV might just become the next playground for spammers from around the globe, just like Web 1.0 was and is... I am certain that with superior security employed by the newer TV networks, this will not be a concern... But it's the older, public sector TV networks, those who are just now approaching "The Digital Age", that might get smacked around by the Digital Bandits, and this could possibly lead to infections all around... ( I just had funny moment from visualizing a typical adult spam pop up suddenly appearing on one of those early morning farm reports. LOL!)

But let's see where you and your business can go with this digital TV stuff...

We Marketers, offline and online, have a long-standing agreement with Creativity, Effectiveness and Economy.

Those three features will be severely challenged, but enhanced, as we meet our New Markets, in the form of the coming Digital Audience. We can now glom and gleen information about them from currently acessible TV marketing statistics and research studies.

These current items have now become a very valuable resource for the Internet Marketing Community ie: Those who have no experience with marketing and advertising offline, as well as the Print Only M/A community... We have the chance to get ahead of the curve, like never before... Time to "Think Multi-Media" (It always was, really) BIGTIME!

Don't go all "Digital TV Fever" just yet-- We as a community should be aware that Network TV, digital or not, can become an expensive exercise in non-profitablilty, if we don't do our "Old School" Homework... A trip to the "Successful Past" of marketing and advertising campaigns can be had by going to your nearest Public Library- "The Original Search Engines", as I like to refer to them...

Learning how to market to Human Beings is the Paramount Idea being inferred to here... No matter what the platform is, we Entrepreneurs, Businesses and Just Plain Salesfolk, must remember the Human Beings that we are trying to get our messages to...

It's funny to me that it takes a step backwards, to see how to move forward, but that just the way it is! :)
