Yes, Internet Marketing Is Dead, Already

by Ken Strong
88 replies
I've noticed what seems like a lot of threads recently with titles like "Article Marketing - Dead?" and "Affiliate Marketing - Dead?" and so on...

Unfortunately, it's all true.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Internet Marketing is officially dead. This forum will be turning out the lights for the last time tonight at Midnight, your local time.

It was a nice run, but time for everyone to go home and get real jobs.

Cancel your hosting and autoresponder accounts, and don't forget to update your blogs one last time. Please clean your desks out and turn in your security badges on your way out.

We WILL be counting the towels in each room, so don't try anything funny.

    Some people declares things as 'dead' if it does not make them a profit.

    When sometimes, all they have to do is dust their self off and try again.

    Seriously, what is the point in this thread?

    Maybe it would be better in the off topic forum?

    No offence, but this is a waste of people's time as much as the original thread you're referring to. Couldn't you post this reply in that thread instead?

    Sorry to be harsh, but still...

        Here you go Dennis. Never before seen Ideas Guaranteed to at least get that chew toy.

        1. Locate a hungry market
        2. Create the product for which they hunger
        3. Get a "taste" of your offer before their eyes, making them want more
        4. Provide them with more for a price.
        5. Add them to your list
        6. Continue to provide them with value with an occasional GREAT offer.

        Rinse and Repeat.

        I'm thinking of doing an ebook on my new method above. Can I steal your product name. "Six Pack To Success?"

        I plan to single handedly resurrect the dead Internet Marketing niche with my new methods.

          George, I did say NEW ideas. Locating a hungry market is not a new idea.

          Make it a thirsty market, and replace the word "hungry" with "thirsty" throughout your formula. Besides, thirsty goes better with the Six Pack concept anyway.

          And yes, you can steal that product name as long as I get a review copy.

            I'll give it a go ...

            1) Down the shop for a 6 pack
            2) Hire a plain
            3) Fly up really high
            4) Jump out
            5) Do an ab work out while falling to the ground (6pack )
            6) Realize your going to hit the floor
            7) Pull the parachute
            8) Land and drink you 6

            I call it extreme 6 pack work out... Guaranteed results .

            Tell others of the amazing results you got, make videos and bam, new product. (Guaranteed to go viral)

              In many relegion it is said that, In the world there is nothing to be `die`. It changes its `Form`... Human beings life is also follow this rule. Our body is the part of Nature and when any one dies his body gets into its original form. In this way we can say that, Internet marketing is not going to die, it will defenately change its form.

              Apparently IM along with FFA, Infoseek and SPAM had been drinking for quite some time.

    I think the OP has done a good work. Because, I also personally believe that the threads like "Article Marketing - Dead?" are little no class ones.

    How?

    A guy says something abnormal and others start replying as it doesn't happen. Complete wasting of time.

    Anyway,

    These kinds of no class threads make benefits for majority of the users at the forum to show their (...) links because these threads are common as anybody can reply anything. But, that's NOT the main thing we're expecting form a discussion forum.

    Well, beneath the sarcasm, there is an underlying message to this thread that some people should take note. If the subject title is ever a question that pops into your head, even for one millisecond - take it as a valuable lesson that you still have a very long way to go. Buy a book on business, then come back to IM. If you still haven't figured the two are one and the same thing, it's time to get out.

    Well, the OP certainly gave me a good laugh! And Lord knows that all work and no play makes Rod a very dull boy. Some levity is good around here. Coffee anyone?

      See, this is why IM is dead. Because Rod doesn't take the time to proof
      read his posts.

      It should be all work and no play makes Rod a very dull boy.

      How the hell do you expect IM to survive with such sloppy forum posting?

    It was a nice run, but time for everyone to go home and get real jobs.

      Hey, that's what my Amish girlfriend and I use when we go to the Amish drive in. Buggy's definitely have their use. They've got some really cool skits opening this weekend. One of them is called "The Non-Iron Man 2"....should be hoot. I think it's about a crime fighter that wears a suit of straw armor.

      Next: The Death Of Death

      Seems that Death has been so overused and trivialized by all the "Death Of" posts, e-mails, etc. that he is now just a minor player - as can be seen by the loss of his pale horse.



      While Death is still making the rounds on a tricycle, the Death Of IM may just be the last straw. Is there anything more to die? Has Death's usefulness finally run out? Will Death come for Death? Is it possible, if there is no other Grim Reaper?

      Stay tuned for the video coming out soon: "How Will The Death Of Death Affect Your Business"?

      This will then be followed by a number of videos of Death driving down Sunset Boulevard and giving out some super-valuable tidbits of information, before the massive launch of "Deathless Profits"

    I realize this topic is suppose to be humorous to successful Internet marketers. However, to struggling Internet marketers it is quite real.

    Struggling marketers are frustrated and disappointed with their marketing results and these struggling marketers really do believe Internet marketing is dead.

    Struggling Internet marketers need a good "honest" mentor who can help guide the struggling marketer - maybe this will help change their thoughts concerning the death of Internet marketing.

    Internet marketing obviously is very much alive and well for those who know the tricks-of-the-trade.

    Happy Trails!
