Can being bilingual be beneficial in Internet Marketing?

I speak 3 languages fluently, english, german and dutch. How could I use this to my advantage? Any other warriors here speak several languages? And how do you use them in your marketing efforts?

Cheers

I think that being bilingual - tri lingual in your case is GREAT.

First, keywords: Keywords in other languages have way less competition.

For example:

Weight loss Google 531,000,000 competing pages

Same keyword in Spanish: Bajar De Peso Google 7,530,000 competing pages

Drill down a little and you find a ton of great keywords.

Second, content:

Take your PLR content - Throw it into Google Translator Google Translate and you have automatic content that passes copy scape

I've been meaning to make a few sites in Spanish but been busy with other things but it IS one of my top projects for 2010

But surely, if you can just plug in a PLR article into the Google translator, then actually being able to write in another language becomes obsolete?

Great Points Green....

I Agree, being bi/trilingual can ONLY help...

I imagine there is a ton of opportunity in affiliate marketing, specifically to translate info products into other languages. Clickbank recently had a few spanish and french versions do well for several sellers. This is an area where there is little competition, and ppc costs are low.

Not necessarily, you still have to go through your translated article and fix any grammatical errors
