It’s been a really long time since I post and I apologize for that. I have been busy working on my projects and couldn’t really find time to make post at the moment. It will not be for long, I will be sharing some projects that I am working on. It will definitely be a good sharing (My project developments will definitely last for about a year or more).
2 days ago, I happened to drop by John Reese’s blog and found out something interesting. John Reese was attacked by other netizen! They were calling John Reese a scam artist in disguise, preaching other internet users to sign up with Twitter (follow me here) so that he could sell some cheap ebooks to them. How funny?
If you have been using Twitter, you know that you can choose who you want to listen to and who you don’t want to listen to. It’s crazy when some body actually accused him of selling ebooks via Twitter. Oh common! There’s a ton of ways to sell ebooks and frankly I wouldn’t click the link on Twitter’s update if it says something like this… “Ebook Reveals Secret to Generate $12,399 a Day…. on and on… Click this link to…”. That’s really a turn off and I don’t think John Reese, an expert Internet Marketer will be dumb enough to do that.
Back to the title of today’s post, will the Internet exist without any marketing?
I seriously think that this can’t happen. John Reese mentioned that the Web 2.0 wouldn’t exist if there weren’t any Internet marketers. That’s really true if you come to think about it. It’s the same for offline market, the world we are living in wouldn’t even be what it is today if there wouldn’t selling and buying. That’s the way of life and human beings have been doing it since civilization (whenever that maybe).
Everywhere you go online, there’s ads, freebies, headlines, free membership signup. All these are what constitutes to marketing in general. If there’s a demand, there’s a supply. People are hungry for fast information and to be honest, I would rather buy the correct information for a reasonable amount than to spend 6 months figuring how to do it. We are living in the Information Age for goodness sake!
John Reese is probably right, the Internet wouldn’t have exist with any marketing or selling. It will just be another dead town.
Here’s a quote from John Reese’s post…
The survival of Ideas, Sites, Services, and Companies on the Web are ALL dependent upon the activity from Internet marketers. I just wish more people would start to realize it.
* I would like to encourage my fellow Internet marketers to spread the word about this post. Thank you.

I am of the opinion that the Internet absolutely would not exist without Internet Marketing. Most things exist for the reason of making money, to be blunt. Most major inventions come down to two things, making more money or making war.
The key to succeed online is to generate your own traffic and leads. Article marketng is a powerful way to target your niche market and it allows you to become an expert on the topic that you choose to write. Article marketing is free and also allows you to brand yourself as a leader. Beside article marketing I also used several free method to generate targeted traffic to my site. One of the free method I use is ASD. All you have to do is surf a few site for 6 to 7 minutes to get free traffic to your site. This is free to join and you can read more about it by going to my HubPages.
