It’s a bold prediction, but after reading and re-reading Rich Peck’s complete coverage of the emerging Web 2.0 phenomenon, I am convinced he not only has a point, he has put his finger on a massive paradigm shift impacting online marketing in a massive way.
After all, I have recently (without even noticing it) abandoned search engines in favor of finding contacts, information, entertainment and even products by following tags, blogs, links and user generated comments – without heading to Google even once!Â
So, I got to thinking, as an online marketer, this is pretty MAJOR stuff!Â
99% of Internet Marketers are still struggling to figure out if pay-per-click, banner advertising or organic search results are the best techniques to draw traffic and profit to their online marketing businesses….
Unfortunately, they are barking up the wrong tree – ENTIRELY!
Your forgiven if you have tried to ignore Web 2.0, user generated content sites, YouTube’s and Myspace’s of the world – after all, what do they have to offer your business?
The truthful answer is Not Much!
But…there are lots of other red-hot Web 2.0 sites emerging, many of which I didn’t even know existed until reading Rich’s fantastic e-book, that DO show the way to how 2007 will be the year of Web 2.0 monetization – in other words, there will be some internet marketing entrepreneurs who will strike pure gold in 2007 based on Web 2.0 principles.
It takes revolutionary information to entice me to recommend a product to anyone – and that’s what we have here…
Check out Rich’s Web2.0 manual here.
What’s most exciting about the real progress being made in Web 2.0 business models and technology is how it can help you dominate your niche market – no matter how competitve it is today!Â
I plan to apply several principles covered in Rich’s e-book and bonus e-books in the next few months – we’ll also be covering this topic extensively over at the InfoMarketer’s Zone in 2007.
It’s not often we are on the edge of a massive paradigm shift in marketing – but this is definitely one of them, so don’t stick your head in the sand, at least take 1-hour and learn how powerful this phenomenon is becoming.
