Thousands and thousands of people are getting into internet marketing because they make money. There are 2 internet start-ups every minute. That sounds like a lot of competition. Are all the niches getting crowded? How are we all going to make a living?

Don’t worry. The markets are still wide open. They will remain wide open for a long, long time. The products and services that are needed and sold online are almost endless. Research tells us that it is the fastest growing segment of commerce.

Here are five reasons why you should start an internet marketing business.

1. Low Start up Costs. You can literally start an online business with just a few thousand dollars. You probably have read that you can start one for free or for a hundred dollars. Although those statements are true, I wouldn’t try. You would have to use free hosting, free template websites, manual email respond and no ecommerce.

The problem with all of that is you will have limited success and in a short time realize you need to upgrade everything; thus wasting lots of time.

2. Quick Learning Curve The learning curve from a complete newbie to making money in a profitable niche can be very short. With all the information available you can really shorten the learning curve. A key point here is you have to find the right information. You must learn from an expert or at least someone actually making a living in the industry. Unfortunately that may be difficult to do.

3. Work from Anywhere. You can really work from anywhere in the world where you have an internet connection. Today there are so many ways of selling goods and services online. If it’s a physical product you’re selling, it can be drop shipped from the manufacturer or any fulfillment companies. In addition have you heard of UPS and FedEx? If you have a digital product or service, your buyers simply download the offer. It just doesn’t get any easier.

4. Freedom or Time. Not only can you work from any place but you can also work at any time. Do you like to start work at 10:00 AM or10:00 PM?

You can work for a few hours, take a four hour break and come back to work. You really are the boss. The down side of all this is staying motivated and focused. The distractions every day are tremendous. You have to set times and goals and stick to these. Self discipline is a must.

5. Financial Rewards This industry really allows you to decide how much money you want to make. You can grow your business as large or keep it as small as you would like. You and you alone, determine the size of your business and your paycheck.

Do you want to build a business with one hundred employees and ten million dollars in sales per year? You can do that and more. Do you want to keep your business small and run it yourself? You can do that too.

The options are endless. You really should consider an internet marketing business for all the above reasons!

The Difference Between Web Design and Web Development
By Musa Aykac

When you think about the difference between web design and web development you can compare it to the difference between architecture and construction. One deals with the appearance inclusive of the layout, colors, interaction between links etc related to a website or application while the other deals with the implementation or the “how” part of the process. This includes method of implementation and programming of the website or software.

When designing a website the designer must be very imaginative and creative. In addition it is necessary that the designer contact the client and fully understand what is required; the priorities and requirements. This will enable the designer to create a suitable design for the requirements. Colors also needs to be taken into careful consideration and also the appearance as it relates to the client’s marketing needs and wishes they may have..

Consider web designing for the Coca Cola Company as an example. The designer would need to consider the color and as we all know the most dominant color of Coca Cola is red. So it would not be wise for the designer to hint at the company to put another color as the more dominant one when designing their web site. Also the company’s lively and young image suggests a design that will closely match a youthful and vibrant look. This can be accomplished by adding videos, texts that has stars coming out from them and any additional graphic that will create a spark in a younger crowd.

Web development on the other hand involves implementing the design from the website design model.

The developers may need to perform a feasibility study with the designers in the initial phases of the website development. Sometimes the expectation of the designers is very high and often exceeds the limits of the technology available to the developers. Thus the developers may need to find the best way they can develop the website without interfering too much with the look and feel of the product.

As with our Coca Cola example; once the company accepts the design presented to them the designers will then present the model to the developers. The developers in turn will analyze the model and decide what is possible and what needs to be reconsidered or altered. Then an actual technical solution that best suits the design will be implemented. It is not necessary that the developers know why certain colors are preferred; they just need to follow the design specifications. However, the developer may call a meeting with the company and the designers to inform them about anything that is beyond the scope of their technology and decide on a more suitable way of developing their website.

To ensure quality work which is expected by all clients it is essential for web designers and web developers to work together. It is important to note though that both of them have different parts to play in the overall development of the website; one is focused on the appearance and the other on the foundation just like architect with its constructors.

The Internet Phenomema That Shook The World
By Patrick Omari

In the last decade, the internet has grown at such an exponential rate that Andy Warhol’s famous phrase that ‘everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes’ becomes more of a prophecy than a prediction. Warhol’s interest in celebrity and fame is now replicated throughout the world as the ambition to be famous is more common in children than ay particular profession.

Those searching for their fifteen minutes of fame could do a lot worse than appearing on the internet’s video sharing sites. There are plenty of sites on the web where one could find their time in the spotlight, YouTube, MyVideo, Flickr and Vimeo to name just a few. So what makes a video star on the internet and how do they become the next internet phenomenon?

As mobile phones become increasingly powerful, some of the best internet videos have been filmed on these pocket-sized inventions. One such video appeared on a variety of video sites showing two men arguing aboard a bus in Hong Kong. The six minutes of footage show an older gentleman, known as ‘Bus Uncle’ verbally attacking a man for asking him to be quiet.

The film was taken by a fellow passenger in order to provide evidence in the event that the altercation turned violent. As the clip circulated, its popularity rocketed and became a media phenomenon in Hong Kong. Various phrases from the clip have entered popular culture in Hong Kong, with the words of Bus Uncle appearing in songs and on t-shirts.

A camera phone on public transport caused similar controversy in South Korea in 2005, when a woman was photographed refusing to clean up after her dog. The lady, aboard a Korean subway train, watched as her lap dog defecated on the train’s floor. Refusing to clear the mess up, she even accepted a lady’s tissue, only to wipe the dog’s behind and leave the mess on the floor. After leaving the train at the next stop, her actions would be national news.

The owner of the camera phone posted the images on a popular website in Korea, leading to internet groups discussing and identifying the woman in question. As the vigilante campaign gained momentum, the lady was forced to quit her university course and made a public apology as a plea for calm. Despite her actions, the woman’s punishment at the hands of internet vigilantes seemed to far outweigh the misdemeanor.

Hollywood films have also used the internet’s vastness to promote word-of-mouth advertising. From The Blair Witch Project to Cloverfield, viral advertisements have been used to create a buzz around a film’s release. One film that appeared to do a lot more with the internet interest was Snakes on a Plane, referred to as ‘perhaps the most internet-hyped film of all time’.

As the movie gained popularity with internet users and in chat-rooms, the film’s makes went as far as incorporating online feedback into the script. The movie had become an internet phenomenon long before its planned release, performing disappointingly at the box office despite the intense anticipation. Maybe this is indicative of the internet’s dominance of media in the twenty-first century, or perhaps because internet clips and chat-rooms are free.

‘Never work with children or animals.’ Actor, W.C. Fields, made this comment long before the internet had made stars of so many children and animals. Two of the biggest hits will forever be known as Star Wars Kid and Dramatic Chipmunk. These two video superstars have amassed over a billion views between them.

The Star Wars Kid, as he is affectionately known, is the star of a short video he filmed himself. In the film, Star Wars Kid is seen mimicking Darth Maul with a golf ball retriever in the place of Maul’s double-ended lightsaber. It is estimated that the video has been seen in various guises over 900 million times, making it the most popular video in internet history.

However, the story of the real Star Wars Kid is far more tragic. After being found by one of the boy’s classmates, the clip was shared at school via file-sharing tools and led to him facing taunts and bullying at the hands of his peers. His family eventually won an out-of-court settlement after filing a lawsuit against the perpetrators and their families.

The dramatic gopher or dramatic chipmunk, is a five second clip of a prairie dog (not a gopher or chipmunk) turning round to look at the camera. Accompanied by humorous music to emphasise the sinister look in the prairie dog’s eyes. The dramatic gopher/chipmunk/rat-thing has been duplicated and replicated many times, with more musical remixes and parodies than can be named here.

So, what have we learned from this handful of internet phenomena? There appears to be no guidelines or rule-book when predicting or monitoring the success of viral ads, video clips and online promotions. With such a vast number of video clips being uploaded every day, it is almost impossible to predict the next phenomenon that will grip the internet and its users. Fifteen minutes of fame is now attainable with just a camera and a funny-looking nondescript animal, and for that alone let me say… God Bless the Internet.
