Intro Part II -- My View Of Internet Marketing
Well, one thing is for certain, the old school MLM junkies have discovered that they do not fit it well on the Internet. The hype and hoopla just doesn’t fly online. False claims and “behind the scene” tool schemes are quickly exposed online. The net is really not that big of a place as some think.
This is why I enjoy the Qblog so much. Eric Jannsen is doing a wonderful job over there. The blog and forum are literally helping prevent people from getting hurt, both (financially and emotionally) by such schemes as the AmQuix King Pins systems.
They provide great content and value to the online community, by providing information from behind the curtain of the Amway/Quixtar = AmQuix King Pins Tools Businesses.
For the sake of those Quixtar IBO’s that are not involved with such systems , their efforts should be applauded. (see Disclaimer)
Disclaimer~ “One great example of such a person is David Robison, and he has a blog that is titled, “ On The Road With Dave.” David is a Quixtar IBO, however he is not involved with the systems which I am describing above. As a matter of fact, David doesn’t have any advertising cost and doesn’t pay for any tools and/or training. He is definitely part of the next online generation of Quixtar IBO’s.
Another reason for the success of the Qblog is that almost everyone above the age of 40 in North America, has been effected by Amway/Quixtar in their lives, at some point. Therefore, there is an huge audience base.
I do wonder sometimes how some of the people that post there frequently, can do so, without some type of compensation?
Who knows maybe they will sell it off on eBay for some huge amount of money someday. Will be interesting to see what successful blogs like Qblog will be 5-10 years from now.
Well, that really isn’t my business, so I will continue with topic at hand:
So, what else is different today?
Well, with the recent technology advances of both audio-pod casting and streaming video technologies. We have much simpler interfaces for integrating and delivering content online, through blogs, podcasts, forums, etc.
For these reasons, and many more, I believe the time is now.
The one thing that I feel that has been lacking most in the home based business model, is the marriage of both a reputable and stable product supplier with a ethical and successful field organization. Where I have seen the majority of the problems related to the home based business industry, applies directly to this relationship being out of balance. As a matter of fact, most people do not understand the difference in the product supplier, and the field organization that they join.
Again, the Internet is still in its infancy, as far a marketing medium — No one has figured it out by any means. What we have discovered though, is that it is best used as a communication tool.
Here is a quote from the man who invented the WWW.
The web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect — to help people work together — and not as a technical toy. The ultimate goal of the Web is to support and improve our weblike existence in the world. We clump into families, associations, and companies. We develop trust across the miles and distrust around the corner.
—Tim Berners-Lee, Weaving The Web
I have discovered blogs and online forums are great platforms to do exactly what Tim’s vision. I have also found blogs to be both informative and entertaining. They are also serve as venues to learn from one another’s experiences.
The whole concept of blogging promotes community building online, and collaborating with people of like minded interest, together on the web. You can do a Google Search and find people sharing their personal thoughts, ideas, on everything you can possibly fathom.
For a quick reference, here is a link from Wikipedia — that explains what a Blog is in greater detail.
