It does kind of wear you down to listen to the gloom and doom the media espouses every day. Having several friends and relatives who have now been unemployed for almost 2 years, I do have empathy for the tough economy we live in.
However as you look at Internet marketing as we close out the year 2010 I think there are several things that are better today than they were one decade ago. If you want to make money online, in many ways the time has never been better.
1. More opportunities. Many of the same business models continue to perform well. You can make money doing email marketing, affiliate marketing, network marketing, work at home jobs such as get paid to programs, and so on.
What has changed a lot over the last 10 years is the number of opportunities within these business models. You certainly can still build a mailing list and make money in any niche you want to get in.
There are some great opportunities to make money in affiliate marketing. These include getting paid by the click, by the lead, and by the sale.
Network marketing is booming all around the world. The MLM business model has really mastered how to generate leads and build a worldwide business that you can generate residual income from.
2. Proven strategies. These continue to evolve.
For example right now auto-blogging is very hot. Automating blogging efforts, and combining affiliate marketing and outsourcing, is a great way to build a Internet business today.
One thing that hasn't changed is the importance of search engine optimization and getting back links. Article marketing continues to be one of the best strategies for doing this.
Having a personal blog is also a proven strategy that is better today than it was 10 years ago. This is an excellent way to do everything from branding and list building, to social networking and product sales.
3. Better resources. A good example of this is how easy it is to building a website using a WordPress blog. Now you can do this with the click of a button using the Fantastico program most hosting companies offer.
Autoresponders offer fantastic ways to develop your brand image and keep in touch with customers. Automated article submission companies make it very easy to get your name out using article marketing. These are just a few examples of how resources have improved over time.
4. Faster Internet. Today you can sit down and breeze from one page to the next. 10 years ago the Internet was slow, and if were trying to make money on a part-time basis it could be very time consuming. Today that is not the case.
These are just a few examples of why I think things are better today than they were 10 years ago. If you are not making money you really have to look in the mirror and analyze why that is. The opportunities, strategies, and resources have never been better.
