Do You Really Need to Know About the History of Digital Marketing?

Do you Really Need to Know About the History of Digital Marketing?

And during my opening keynote, I made the bold proclamation that “marketing is coming to and end.”

There were more than a few gasps from the crowd (after all, my company is called DigitalMARKETER). Fortunately, I qualified this bold statement to say that we’re at the end of a cycle in marketing, and it’s time to shift to innovating and disrupting the industry.

There is nothing better than to stand at the top of hill and view the landscape below. Now imagine this is a digital landscape many of us have wandered fitfully at times over a  couple decades.

Once in awhile you come across a marketing blog and website that stops you in your tracks, shot with wide awake awareness. I highly recommend that every online internet marketer have a chance to take aim at the history of digital marketing and think twice about the big picture.

First the 5 phases of technological development are outlined as an info-graph.

1994 - 2000    DISCOVERY and INVENTION - new technology arises to benefit industry or large enough to change society's norms.

2001 -  2009   PROLIFERATION - "gold rush" wild west of technology; growth of Word Press, Social Media, You Tube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

2010 - 2014   STANDARDIZATION  - many companies and products in economy, government and industry think of creating regulations for everyone's benefit. Google Slap happened here and some marketers called it "a giant flaming pile of poop."

2015 - 2019   CONSOLIDATION - smaller companies are overtaken, industry is becoming controlled by a handful of dominant companies;  traffic costs rise, conversion and engagement are down.

2019 -           INNOVATION and DISRUPTION -  companies continue to innovate the technology or become stagnant and will have a harder time competing with a new player who comes on stage and starts to disrupt  the status quo.

In my own humble way I have been aware of shifting paradigms, dropping out for awhile, unable to play the game when such odds were stacked against a small but serious internet marketer. But then I realized I was an affiliate of a marketing company that gave me the right opportunity to deal with history and avoid disruption in the future.The Self Franchise Report explains how all the pieces fit together to be my own innovative and disruptive marketing force as a self-franchised affiliate marketer.

What if, a different kind of insight will help you avoid common marketing blunders of the past and make self-correcting adjustments to stay competitive and profitable in the developing online business marketing game?  Stay ahead of the game, read the reports and blogs and secure your spot today by watching an important video after the reports. You can take a 14 day free tour to see how this company can benefit your online marketing goals.

There is always need for new tools that give direction and resources for success in the digital marketplace for every person with or without technical skills with no critical details missing.  In fact, If you have a plan or a tool to help the masses how to market…fortunes will be made by helping so many others.

Arrival Announcement: Personal Website Considers 3 Matters that Make a Difference

The path of awakening is not about becoming who you are. Rather it is about unbecoming who you are not. Albert Schweitzer

Like any proud parent, I wish to announce the arrival of my completed personal website.

It has taken 70 years to give it birth, much experience, contemplation and finally a legacy to leave the world as such. I'm sure we can all relate to the levels of wisdom we can accumulate with age; but I have three matters about which I feel strongly enough to try and make a difference on this world wide stage.

ONLINE BUSINESS CHANGES

TIMELY SOLUTION FOR TEEN GIRLS

WATER ECOSYSTEM FOR CHILDREN

ONE: 

...the exponential growth of the Digital Economy, the dramatic changes in the internet marketing industry within the last ten years and how more marketers can take greater advantage.  

Question: Along the way, if it is undeniable  that  internet marketing has simplified and compounded, then how can regular marketers and business owners adapt to changes and compete fairly with marketing powerhouses?

Answer: Get a different insight to avoid the earlier common marketing blunders and how to stay competitive through Business Leverage and the Power of You as an online core identity. There are two reports to check out called How to Start to Grow a Profitable Online Business and The Self-Franchise Report. The recommended program is based on a tour to try the benefits of a total marketing system, a one-stop-shop  for tools, resources and assistance every online business owner needs

Excerpt (The Self-Franchise Report): There is always need for new tools that give direction and resources for success in the digital marketplace for every person with or without technical skills with no critical details missing. In fact, if you have a plan or a tool to help the masses how to market...fortunes will be made by helping so many others.

TWO: 

...the internet has also hugely changed our culture with important memes that are part of any culture; our jobs, our families, social relationships, lifestyles, goals and world views. Along the way, young teenage girls with their cell phones and Selfies have openly participated in assuming adult roles as portrayed in the Social Media Circus with many kinds of negative results.  

Question: Is there a way to show teenage girls that their adolescent brains may have been hacked causing problems and regrets with Selfie addiction, with a discussion about the importance of respecting their timelines?

Answer:  A new e-book called A Teen Girl Faces Time in the Sand ...A Timely Tale of Social Media struggles, Regrets and Survival with a Super-Power Tool. The key question is asked in chapter one, "What if, you had the power to see the future and how your actions today may affect it? Would you make the same choices today?"

And so, this story is told of a young adolescent girl's struggles in a hyper media environment, the realization of her rash and brash  brain, her descent into drug addiction, her nightmares of media control, and her gradual awareness of the transient TIME measured not by numbers, counting hours or days, but with blocks and circles of experience as first drawn in the sand and explained by her Grannie.

Excerpt: "BUT time is only the medium not the victim here.  A 14 year old girl can become a victim because she can make a mistake that will affect her whole life. How fair is that?  Is it her fault or is it the selfish culture around her? There must be an answer how to stop making the wrong choice at a young age."

THREE:  

...more recently, with greater alarm, the world is paying more attention to the Earth's bio-systems, ecological balance, pollution and climate change in particular.

Question:  How can we show young people that ecological systems are related and depended on each other from the smallest micro-organisms to plants, animals, air, water and even hydrocarbons where humans play a deciding role in survival at all levels? 

Answer: New e-book called The Incredible Journey of a Water Sprite with Roots...on his mission to find Cyclical Truths ...a children's story for all ages who care about the Earths ecosystem

This unique water sprite with plant features is often amazed with his encounters with different characters, some imaginary, but in real settings; and how many life forms and systems are interdependent where one broken link can affect the whole system. He can communicate with other beings because of a shared affinity with any organic life form of which there is a great quantity derived from our carbon based planet. The story is first person narration to personify the water sprite as a friend we should all care about his manners, fears and hopes and the essential cyclical truths he discovers.

Excerpt

My thoughts wander about the kind of ecology that humankinds believe in, as I have witnessed. Do they get it that natural life begins with DNA in a nucleus, one celled animals and plants, then species and then an ecosystem? Do they know that every small ecosystem is part of the total large biosphere on Earth that connects them all; water, air, food, resources, and shelter? Do they realize that perpetual growth, industry or destruction of any habitat is not sustainable on a limited planet?

Entrepreneurship Runs Deep In My Family...One Reason I Am a Self Franchised Marketer

Entrepreneurship runs deep in my family…one reason I am a self-franchised marketer

 “The only true wisdom is knowing that you know nothing.” Socrates

A dictionary definition of an entrepreneur is “a person who starts a business and is willing to risk loss in order to make money” and it can also carry an additional connotation of vision and innovation.  

My grandfather and my brother believed in plotting their future to the best of their ability and faith in hard work to gain rewards. I hope to endorse this vision as my legacy, too. 

My grandfather was an immigrant from Russia at the age of 16. He learned to speak English and rather than being part of a communal lifestyle, soon bought some land in the valley, logged it, horse-plowed it into hay fields, built a log house without nails, raised sheep for wool, a garden to sell produce, even had a small mercantile storefront to sell supplies to neighbors. He was the first man  to own a model T-Ford in the valley and in his later years, drove a Volkswagon painted lime green (I don't know why) so he could take his grandchildren on picnics.

He was a master craftsman capable of doing most anything with his hands from making shoes, to sewing a suit of clothes, to baking bread and cooking, to animal husbandry and farming where he lost his foot in a haying accident.

To me, he was my grandfather who spend time teaching me to read and write, to play ball, to fish and wander the woods looking for hazelnuts. 

My brother, Jim, also had many innate talents to master anything he set his mind to do. His education was based on computer technology and when he was downsized from a corporation, his next logical step was to start his own computer business.

At first he worked in the basement of his house, guarded at that time by a large Rotweiller with the loudest bark that didn’t deter his customers who knew of his honesty and skill sets. 

Excellent success here led to buying a 8800 square foot building to grow his business services in town. His success continued into the late 1990's when the Internet of Things  became the juggernaut for any kind of retail business owners. Two years ago, he died at the age of 66 within two months of a cancer diagnosis putting the whole valley into shock. Tomorrow, he would have been 68. 

His memories, however, will never die and he will always be remembered as an entrepreneur with the grandest vision, a business man who never wore a suit, whose handshake was contract enough, a loving father of 3 children and an amazing brother who always had a smile and a generous helping hand.

And then there are my efforts at entrepreneurship. I worked hard at being one of the top students in high school, earned a Bachelor of Education degree and taught for 24 years. When I took early retirement, my focus readily settled on running a home business of some kind to the best of my ability. 

Network Marketing became a natural choice because I believed in its foundation of helping people achieve above average income and lifestyles with minimum capital and time equity based on 3 concepts: plug into a top product, share or duplicate the message and earn residual income with direct and indirect referrals. 

My journey has traveled many routes, some harder than others, especially with the advent of the Internet Marketing Wild West, but my standards of honesty have never been compromised. In fact, for awhile, I wanted to make my brand on the internet to be known as the Fair and Democratic Home Business Mentor…imagine that, understandably drawn from my background.

Internet marketing is now the new mantra and the focus is how marketers can best access, adapt to and profit from the New Digital Economy. This has culminated in becoming a  self-franchise entrepreneur or marketer. In my experience, the old ways are constantly being challenged and replaced and the new ways have to restructure the main principles of network marketing to fully embrace the powers of LEVERAGE and DUPLICATION. 

This vision is alive and well with a mastermind internet marketer and his total marketing platform every online business owner needs.

 If interested, you can read The Self Franchise Report in two parts:

 PART ONE: Three Reasons To Be a Self – Franchise Entrepreneur

PART TWO: Four Reality Checks and Adaptations to Keep IT Real

Questions and comments are always welcome. What does being an entrepreneur mean to you?  Do you think that entrepreneurship may be a worthwhile strategy to cope with the Digital Economy?

Sincerely,

Annemarie

More Sunday Moments: Wake Up and Smell the Changes in Internet Marketing

More Sunday Morning Wake Up and Smell the Changes in

 Internet Marketing Moment

Life is Change. Growth is Optional. Chose Wisely … Albert Einstein  

It has been two weeks since I first publicized my new website as Welcome to a Brand New Website about Seeing the Big Picture of Changes as well as marketing links to my affiliate company The Conversion Pros. 

  

This morning I did a quick tally of views on different postings and was rather pleasantly surprised. The challenge now is to try and explain the results

Posts with commissions:                             118 views

Posts with general online marketing help    477 views

Posts with self-franchise label                     390 views

Here is what I think is continuing to happen. There seems to be a disadvantage if you are trying to promote cash in your hands or an ATM that spits out cash. Most experienced marketers have been there, done that, and realize that hype mentality doesn’t produce results without some kind of special background.

For example:

... Are you an internet marketing superstar with powers to make insane money

... TCP will pay out obscene commissions to all those affiliates who are Hustling...

On the other hand,  some of the titles offering marketing help seemed to get the most interest such as:

...Power of Perception examined…why it matters to making decisions

...How to Create Exciting Customized Landing Pages to Stand Out in the Crowd.

And many views on any posts with words relating to a landing page:

…quick example of a landing page made in minutes

…definitely having fun creating landing pages

…can't believe the total capacity of customized landing pages

…this company helps anyone in online business market out their products

However, what's most interesting are the views on titles such as:

...Sometimes You Have to Take a Leap of Maturity into Online Marketing Today

...Is the Internet Mature Enough for a Self-Franchise Opportunity?  

...Is This the Right Time to Profit in the Digital Economy as a Self-Franchised Affiliate               Marketer

...Only A Self-Franchise Entrepreneur Can Self-Correct New Internet Marketing Skills ...            two new reality checks

My opinion about what is happening is a natural progression of any development requiring a skill set. A couple decades ago, internet marketing became a huge all-encompassing manifestation with all kinds of pioneer marketers with a whole swarm of possibilities and promoters who were busy sifting, sorting and finding sediment that had some results. Notice how many fewer "flasher" promoters are left.   

I can picture the Gold Mining in Alaska reality show where men with little or no previous experience were flushing and sluicing entire hillsides to extract a few nuggets of gold. Gradually they began working the site with large and more efficient equipment to finally produce millions in gold success.

And, I believe, that is what is happening to internet marketing. A few top professionals have risen to the top with justification. Top marketers have amalgamated all the necessary resources for internet marketing into integrated professional programs.

A few of us, network marketers, in particular, have survived through the decade. We have internet connections; we are critical thinkers, aware of self-dialogue and make decisions to adapt to changes. But we are less gullible now and require more proof.

We also understand the unique business model of distribution based on 3 fundamental principles: share the message, leverage the experts and earn residual income.

Many of us are now ready to exit the Marketing Jungle of Yore and are looking at how to become self-franchised distributors or marketers. WHY NOT?

The best opportunity for a self franchise online business still remains The Conversion Pros for this main reason. It perfectly offers what every online business owner or marketer needs as an advanced total all-in-one marketing system with all the features, communication and training on one platform.  

What a self franchise marketer needs more than anything else is a SIMPLIFIED ONE MESSAGE and TOOL to pass on to business people who are drawn to specific key words for business success. The rest is personal values, leveraged excellence and integrated systems.

I believe  this is the next big thing and the right time to apply all our  learned skills to a singular focus on an exclusive new revolutionary NICHE!

Only A Self-Franchise Entrepreneur Can Self-Correct New Internet Marketing Skills

Only a self-franchise entrepreneur can self-correct new internet marketing skills

Maybe you have no life, like so many entrepreneurs. Well, I’ll let you in on a secret.

You're whipping a dead horse. Trying to squeeze blood out of turnip. Because even if you're working at your peak...you can't reach anywhere NEAR your potential from "here"..."here" being your current mental operating system...Perry Marshall 

A new wave is happening NOW for internet marketers who promote any kind of online business, especially a network marketing home business. You are either on the Fast Lane or you may suffer Road Kill unable to keep the pace.

First, let's agree that the internet is speeding up and network marketers are getting flatter with thinner wallets. Customers are getting harder to attract, harder to acquire, harder to keep, harder to persuade, and harder to sell. Honestly, how many hours of work and "hits" do you need to get a raised hand much less a conversion?

To stay competitive and profitable in the online business marketing game, it's time for a self-correcting adjustment with two current changes:

The FIRST CHANGE is called REALITY CHECK

Remember, the internet is changing, maturing and compounding rapidly. Remember, you're playing a money game in virtual space by competing with some of the toughest, smartest, richest players like Google, Facebook, etc. Experts now point to the fact that 5% of the players get 95% of the rewards. And the remaining 95% of the players divide up the other 5%.

"The odds will only increase with information overload, adding stress and anxiety to the already confused brain between credible and non-credible facts especially if viewed without context. “Analysis Paralysis” sets in with just reasons to avoid risk because your experience has shown what it takes to make a footprint in this hyper-active virtual reality (excerpt from The Self Franchise Report)

The SECOND CHANGE is LEVERAGE BUSINESS EXPERTISE.

 Let the top marketing professional present a powerful message to attract the right mindset and offer the right business marketing solutions.

Because, basically, nothing you can say will make a difference if the experts aren't appreciated. 

If they see the value, they will be pleased to participate.

If they miss the value, they will look elsewhere…their choice.

It's not up to the self franchise marketer to chase people with more information, absorbing  our precious time. No need for fragments here and there: emails, webinars, conference calls, autoresponders or sell funnels to find conversions. IT’S ALL COVERED WITH ONE PROGRAM.

.

A self-franchise entrepreneur has a singular focus to use the POWER of   Internet Business Leverage to duplicate an inclusive opportunity essential to business owners basically with ONE LINK with no critical details missing…a free trial, no fuss, no muss with affiliate compensation.

No more hamster-mentality of internet workaholism of mass marketing to get this formula right.  No  more trying to compete with the best...why not join them?

My message is a top internet marketing message...strong, irresistible, inspirational, with desirable benefits and steps to success. It is comprehensive enough and yet simple enough to share. 

Most importantly, this professionally crafted internet marketing message does the "heavy lifting" for me or you. The effort is to share this powerful marketing message to like-minded business connections.  

This revolutionary niche can be called self franchise marketing which may be considered a radical leap by some, but it may well be the return to networking basics, respect for its principles and a fair playing ground for every marketer.

There is always need for new tools that give direction and resources for success in the digital marketplace for every person with or without technical skills with no critical details missing.  In fact, If you have a plan or a tool to help the masses how to market…fortunes will be made by helping so many others. (excerpt from The Self Franchise Report)

Simply, you are invited to check this powerful business marketing video.

If you see value, join the free trial to see the benefits for yourself. Who says NO to business expertise? Or pass it to other business owners or marketers who may be interested.

Are you ready to self-correct as a self franchise entrepreneur?

Questions and comments are always important and welcome.
I'd be interested in knowing how you have adjusted to a new internet marketing reality.

Sometimes You Have To Take a Leap of Maturity into Online Marketing Today

Sometimes you have to take a leap of maturity into

Online Marketing Today

Drilling down to the bottom of the swamp is SO counter-cultural (there’s a lot of seaweed down there)...which is exactly why swamp-diving puts you in an utterly unique place  

Perry Marshall.

It is standard now to complain or commend on the developments on the internet especially about how some breakthroughs have disrupted and now dominate so many industries…Fedex, Netflix, Spotify, AirBNB, to name a few. 

The aim of evolution or maturity is to solve hidden but pivotal problems at the core of any enterprise; so how can we amend the many problems with professional internet marketing...especially for the regular individual marketer?

Take internet marketing as it has evolved over the last decade or so. Marketing is the lifeblood  of any business…internet marketing was toil and tears and heart attack in the making. Maybe it's time to applaud some maturity.

Who remembers the pioneer internet marketers and their programs of magnetic self-branding to stand out from the crowd of millions rather than previously trying to make an impression in your own community?

How many of us crowed that the world was our backyard now! We could all be champion flock worthy roosters or hens, until we found out that our chicken coop was never really in a fair worldwide competition. Too many fell into the dust of their own aimless scratching.   

But we still believed the next step, the next skill, the next blog would put us in the game.

Here is my favorite real life story about taking the next step measured in inches in order to take a leap of faith.

Picture a  wall made from cement blocks once built against a hillside to open a garden bed along the inside parameter. After 25 years of steady fortitude my garden wall had to be replaced because the blocks were leaning outwards from water (rain) pressure. It had started to deconstruct because there wasn't enough sand put under the blocks to absorb moisture over time when originally built.

I asked my nephew, who had just bought an excavator, to do the job. How unbelievable that it became a matter of inches to manage to disrupt and replace this solid wall!

First, the excavator was too tall to pass under the garage roof to reach the back yard by a couple inches.

Second, the excavator was too wide to pass through my raspberry bushes to reach the backyard even after they had been pulled out to make ground by a couple inches.

 Finally, this young operator decided to take a leap of faith from another hillside behind the garden wall. He laid down a couple of tracks each about a foot wide in order to aim his large excavator as precisely as possible to hit the tracks and enter the backyard that way. It was, in every aspect that I couldn’t watch, a leap of faith with great risk.

Thankfully, it was successful and my newly reconstructed wall is growing its harvest again.

Herein lies the analogy that internet marketing has served well in its adolescent period with its early champions; but needs to be reconstructed in order to serve a bigger, more bountiful purpose for more marketers.  

I believe that the many skills of being an internet marketer can be streamlined into one total system with all the professional tools and training one needs to make an noticeable impact on the worldwide web.   

I believe this total marketing system is already well developed by a mastermind marketer and mature enough to resolve many of the huge internet marketing challenge for most people online.

Maybe it's time to look at a little reconstruction for your internet marketing program.

There is no risk like jumping with an excavator.

Try a free trial to see how this system can work for you.
