Are there really any good marketing jobs on the internet?

Hi there! I am a newbie in internet marketing...?

  • Hi there! I am just wondering if I should go into internet marketing as a sideline. I read a sample business plan and I wanted to fall asleep. It does not resonate with me. The figures, sales do not excite me. I also do not like the smell of money. I do not like to use Microsoft Excel and see many figures. I do not like to please other people. However, I like certain aspects of internet, and am quite good at writing and web programming. Should I give im a try or maybe I could look for other jobs? Thx so much! Thx a million! Have a great day!

    Hi NiceGuy Why don't you brand yourself as expert in your field. As you are good in writing and web programming you can continue doing the two things you love and in this way following your passions. There is an online community called the Six Figure Mentors who give very good advice on how to start an online business following your passions. You can get good ideas there on how to brand yourself as an expert by following your passions e.g programming and writing.

Beware of scams and programmes that do not work. I am talking from experience and please be careful not to fall in that trap.

Hi, If you are interested in programming then why marketing.

To get a feel for if it suits you, a lot of internet marketing does involve spreadsheets of numbers as well as in some cases list of hundreds or thousands of keywords. Tracking the performance of each different ad-ketword-landing page is an essential part that can be tedious, some or all of the marketing process can be outsourced if you have a budget, but the chief usually watches the numbers. To get a feel for the affiliate marketing biz, you might read through the main section of the forum popular with rookie marketers Warriorforum.com To do more of what you like, you could act as a freelancer offering your specialty service to marketers and webmasters for an hourly rate or by bid. You could do site development or article writing, those who master the psychology behind advertisement copy can make big bucks writing sales pages for the bigger marketers. There are a number of reputable online freelance marketplaces, bear in mind you are competing with a worldwide work force causing some bids to be quite low. Most are free for workers, developing a track record of satisfied (pleased) clients is important for winning more bids. I believe odesk projects that online freelancers wlll earn $1 Billion in 2012 Odesk, elance and vworker are some respected sites elance does have optional fees that allow you to bid on more jobs. Freelancer is one of the easiest to submit projects and bids to, but might be a bit more like the fend for yourself wild west. A couple of reports by these sites: https://www.elance.com/q/online-employment-report https://www.odesk.com/info/press/releases/odesk_record_num_of_jobs_and_contractors/ nov. 2011 Webmaster and internet marketing forums have freelancer sections as well. I'm afraid that making a living is not always compatible with what you like to do...
