A few Advantages disadvantages of Internet Marketing are:
* It is the Internet, so it is cheap
* Very fast
* And you can reach a global audience
But:
* Can leave the businessman feeling isolated
* Hard to tell if people are lying because you can not see their face
* And you can be overloaded with information.
There are several advantages disadvantages of Internet Marketing, but we usually cover them all in one article. But we will focus on a few important.
Positive:
Discount:
The Internet is composed of electrons, so there is not really anything physically to grab in a brick and mortar business. This reduces your costs, you do not really need many materials or buildings. Just a computer with the world wide web capabilities.
Very fast:
A great ad as we once said: "If you were an electron, you will be there now." It was an ad in an airport. It is a reference to the Internet. It is composed of electrons, so it is very fast. Click on a link and you can see on an Australian website, click another and you could be in
You can reach a global audience:
By this we mean that you will not have to create shop somewhere and sell to the locals. You can create an online store, and sell to anyone in the world. It means a tremendous increase in potential revenues and a fraction of the cost it would take for you to create boutiques worldwide.
Negatives:
Can leave the businessman feeling isolated:
It is very common. Because the world wide web is faceless (In most cases), it can seem cold and inhuman. This can leave you feeling isolated and very active. Not a nice feeling at all. Everybody likes to socialize and meet people, but in this case, its quite difficult to, in business anyway.
Hard to tell if people are lying:
There is so much information on the world wide web today, it is often difficult to tell the difference between crap and quality. Much of the crap is targeted at beginners. Here is an example "Make money fast by doing nothing," Does this sound familiar? We bet you've had a plethora of emails saying something similar.
Information Overload:
Once again we come to the part of that there is a lot of information on world wide web. There may be too much good information too. There can be a lot of competition for an industry that may leave you more confused than when presented with lots of crap. You may not be able to tell who to select. If you are a veteran of the net, you wont have much to worry about, but if you are a newbie then it is a problem.
The above are the positive and negatives. Overall, we clearly say that if you can do business online, so surely do it.
