INFORMATION MARKETING:ITS DAYS ARE NUMBERED

Let's look back a few years. Remember the days when if you simply had a pulse you could get a mortgage loan? Remember the days when your house's value went up by at least 10 percent each year. I sure do. It was less than 2 years ago.



I definitely benefited from those days both as a mortgage professional on the side and as a borrower. I started several of my business ventures with mortgage money. Well as we all know those days are gone--forever. Never to return, not even people with excellent credit can get those kinds of deals anymore.



Why did it all end? Because they never made any sense. I predict the same thing will happen with the marketing of purely information products on the internet and many mlm business opportunities.



Not only do people no longer have money to waste on bogus "work at home opportunities" but the whole concept of selling information products to people that teach people how to sell information products is basically a pyramid scheme disguised as a business.



As an information/mlm marketer one is hoping that someone else will want to pay for the "secret knowledge" of how to get someone else to buy the same information you purchased.



What will however live on after the internet marketing era collapses is the use of some of the effective techniques of internet marketing, use of social netowrking, opt-in e-mail lists, article marketing. But they will be used to sell real products and services. Business to business services will make use of these techniques. In fact some of the benefits of an mlm and downline system can be used effectively and ethically to sell real products.
