Internet Marketing Vs Sales – Are We Headed for Destruction? Analyzing!

Hi, my name is Marcus and over the years, I have seen a drastic change in what has become of the internet. It has been five or more years but things have definitely changed on the internet. Let me explain, I’m talking about when I first started on the internet about 5 years ago. People were really just getting into this internet business thing. What they were doing is trying to figure out what type of business to open or operate online. I mean people were trying to find out what is selling and what the next big thing to sell online was. People were selling businesses, people were buying businesses this is what the internet was about. Not saying that we did not have to market and or advertise but because peoples focus was on owning and opening up an online business and because of this, many people made a lot of money. The internet was all about selling online businesses.

Now take a look today go online see what going on. I will tell you, because I am not so sure if people can see what I am talking about, but it’s definitely there. When I go online, I see people or businesses selling a lot of advertising and marketing for businesses. This to me means that the internet has out grown business owners ship. It is sort of like the housing market, at one point and time everybody had a house and was able to purchase one. In addition, that is what has happened on the internet, everyone owns a website with a business. I believe that there is way more people on the internet selling than there are people buying. The internet has been flooded with too many businesses and when it comes down to marketing or advertising we all are doing the same things and we all are selling at about 10% down from 25% in 2004. The internet has tried to make a change and go into this social networking direction. Which is ok but it has a lot of privacy issues and instead of being used as social networking people are using it for marketing and advertising purposes which made someone really rich. Nevertheless, back to my point the internet is all about marketing now. We all know that we need to sale in order to make money, but we need marketing to get the sale. So is it still beneficial to own and operate an online business? You do the math MARKETING or SALES…

Some people would say that sales are down on the internet because of what is going on with the economy. I would not go there, I think, and believe the internet is overcrowded and headed for a crash or in the next couple of years the internet will start to lose businesses due to the Economy.

We would love to hear your opinion!
