Internet Marketing has been a buzzword for over a decade now, a
short time by ordinary measure. And yet in terms of Internet
reckoning, this is a very long time. Whatever, we always go back
to the origin of the word marketing.

Marketing, as we know it, primarily concentrates on consumers .
As Internet marketer, your responsibility is to determine your
consumers` - or potential customers` - needs and desires. You
then develop strategies - both online and offline - about your
product`s important features, persuade your potential customers
to purchase your product, and make sure your customers are
satisfied with their purchase.

In the olden times marketers stopped with the sale of products
and services. Today, successful marketers make it their strategy
to sell to existing customers more than finding new buyers. Why?
Because it is more profitable to sell to existing consumers than
to new ones!

Why do I belabor this definition? Because in essence, that is
what marketing is all about. If you understand the above
definition, and I have highlighted the important keywords, your
duties as Internet marketer is placed in correct perspective.
With this at the back of your mind, there is no doubt you will
become a profitable entrepreneur.

With marketing as defined above, you now understand why almost
all the successful Internet marketers today flood your server
with opt-in emails. Or fire you up with their newsletters`
latest edition. Because they consider you as within their loop
of customer base (even if you have not bought from them before;
your only participation to their business is to sign up for
their newsletters` subscription forms).

Be that as it may, we now go back to the definition of marketing
given above and list down the important eywords. Internet
marketers tweak the keywords inside and out. million of pages
have been launched on the Internet out these keywords.

The shady marketers target all and sundry potential customers,
prying on the innocents specifically. They offer all kinds of
products and programs, rather than educating the unsuspecting
readers. If you were one of those who is a beginning Internet
surfer to scout for an online business, in all probability you
have been victimized by these shady characters. Beware
therefore.
