Navigating in the Internet


Dear Reader,

I don’t know how about you but when I navigate through the internet you get bombard with so many offers and announcements of business opportunities, home business, MLM-business. Everyone promise you that you will get within a few hours or instantly money back. What is the worse hook they try to sell you something with the promise that you have a money printing machine at your reach.

Frankly, what gets me sometimes really mad is that nobody tells you what you have to do. They tell you everything in a such a way that you only have to put up your web site and within a few minutes you are ready to get money or how they call it print money.

But for God Sake nobody tell you how to find a tree in a jungle, which is what the internet really is. The internet you can imagine like a huge jungle and your page is a certain tree in that jungle. Now my friend tell me how will someone find your little page (tree) between millions of millions of trees.

It took you your time and money to seed that tree and now you are alone with your new seeded tree and how to you expect that someone will find you in the center of that jungle without any guidance and signs. So, please tell me how to expect that someone will find you with your new seeded tree.

This is the turning point everyone sells you and promises you but only a few guys they tell you how you get notice with your tree. Maybe in the jungle it is easier to get noticed but only when you have tools with you let’s say a signal lamp or a horn or a signal rocket I think you get the point.

In the internet how the heck you will get noticed and here comes the secret that nobody tells you, here comes the internet marketing.

What really is Internet Marketing?

Internet marketing is the tool you use to get other people noticing your site or your blog, or your article or product. Internet marketing is a kind of guidance or a marked way to find you or your site or what ever the purpose is.

There are so many ways for internet marketing; you can put links in your article or blog to other blogs or sites, you can post a press release, you can post your article in e-zine directories, you can ping your blog with the article or product. You have so many ways open to say: “hey here I am look at my site, look at my product or my business”.

You can get some free links or ads for submission to web sites, you can post to Forums there is really no limit. Your only limits are those of vision. But I tell you what it is really difficult to get your customer within a few hours free. Most of the free advertising it’s like in a Mall you have waiting a lot of people to get advertised so you have to get in the queue and wait until it’s your turn.

Naturally you can avoid all that staying and waiting in a queue when you pay a little bit money but by gosh don’t compare it with bribe no, no, no it is like everywhere in life…you have money, you will be served first you are the king.

I think by now you get the point and you know what to think and how to act when navigating the next time in internet and someone promise you a printing machine or the paradise on earth always be careful and think. Never buy with your instinct always with your head.
