Hey guys, just though I would pose the question what is going to be a bang in 2010? Will CPA be where everyone will be turning to? Will affiliate marketing go downhill due to FTC rules? Or will Social Media be more important for marketers? You decide Let me know what you think will work in 2010...

    Nothing really is going to change much. Maybe a little bump in CPA because it is the newest of the bunch, but every time something changes with the FTC or anything else affiliate marketers adapt to the changes in one way or another. It will not be about what is going to be hot as far as CPA or other things, but more about what products are going to be hot because those change often.

    My opinion only:

    focus will move more towards e-commerce (physical goods), your own product development, organic traffic , SEM consulting, PPV/Media buys etc.

    focus will move away from Adwords, affiliate marketing for someone else's digital products, IM product launches

    Yeah personally I thought all the focus will move away from Adwords, and the thing with IM launches now its kind of getting more saturated as many people have clocked onto how to make some money the big launches

      Social Media Marketing will continue to grow, Twitter and Facebook will rule. Branding yourself instead of branding your products will be huge. The more transparent you are and stand behind your product, the more sales you will get.
      Article Writing and Video Marketing will be a must in your marketing plan. We will find a way to beat Google....I have a plan :-X

        Brilliant. People don't buy from companies, they buy from people and they always will.

          Hey you beat me to the punch. But I too predict the same of more social media marketing. I've started doing it. And I'm already seeing the amazing power of it.

          Get people to know you, like you, and trust you. Then they'll buy from you.

          Being real and in front of the crowd is the only way I know of doing that. So start making videos, start blogging, start podcasting, start writing more articles, reports and books!

          - Sam

      What a very good question!!

      Ahum - I will just polish my crystal ball - won't be a moment!

      Now then where was I?

      Ah yes, I see the future clearly now - VIDEO!

      If you can't make your own video's for YouTube or Viddler then harness the power of OUTSOURCING!

      Yes it costs money!

      But then - that's where the eyeballs are going in 2010.

      Trust me!
