Are You An Introvert Or An Extrovert (or Pervert) & Which Do You Think Is Better For Internet Marketing?

I am a hardcore Introvert, I am not a "people person" at all. If I could live on a deserted island with my family and still have internet access I would.

My home is quiet as a mortuary which is just the way I like it and I have my wiener dog to keep my company when the family is not here.

However because I am home all the time I can spend a lot of time on my laptop getting things done or further my internet marketing education.

How about you?

I think you mean, "I am an introvert."

As for me, I am a little of both - not sure it really matters though.

Yeah thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it.

Makes no difference, you either have an aptitude and talent or you dont.

I think if you have those extrovert qualities you do have a tool you can manipulate to your advantage. Having a big mouth & being able drive people to either love you or hate you within a few sentences can be a good thing. The attention will bring sales..

Like most people I'm neither all one or the other.

While aptitude and talent are certainly necessary, without interest and ambition they're useless.

Actually, everyone is one or the other but it's on a spectrum. Some more introverted/extroverted than others. If you are in the middle, than it's not really noticeable.

I'm really introverted and just prefer doing things by myself. But, when I need to be social and talk to people, I have no problem with it. It's just draining and i need to go recharge by myself occasionally.

Introverts probably prefer IM more because they like solitude but I don't think either one has a distinct advantage.

I am an introvert, but yes it is a spectrum and I would classify myself towards the middle. I really enjoying socializing with people and have sometimes gotten kind of lonely doing IM, as much as a love it. I have attended many networking groups and got some business leads out of it. However, I realized that I was just going to satisfy my need for human connectivity and to brag about myself. Since then I have spent my time just doing what I know will pay off and looking to socialize with others, not prentending that I was doing it for work to feel less guilty. However, I now work in an office with two other web professionals (and friends) which I like much better than I did when I was working alone.

I am into bars, parties, mixers, clubs, discussion groups and local Meetup groups, so I wouldn't say I am nearly as shy or introverted as I was when I was a kid, but I don't deny that I am still an introvert regardless of what I try to convince other people.

It depends on who you're selling to.

If you're market is mainly introverted, then being an introverted marketer will give you the edge. Maybe.

But I'd have to say that being an extrovert is better if you're appearing in products, sales videos or on stage.

I'm painfully introverted and only appear in products and sales videos because I have to.
