“Per say ? That just boggles the mind ! If you want to pat each othe on the back at least learn proper English.” - Got to love a comment like that when there are spelling mistakes. Guess you’ll be joining me at school John?

Market - “the world of commercial activity where goods and services are bought and sold” - It all depends on what form of online marketing you’re doing and how you look at the usage of the word relative to the context, my use of the term is not incorrect.

Be off, flame elsewhere so we can discuss proper matters here.

@John M, thanks for the insight into your opinion I agree that it is an activity geared at a particular market. Are you therefore suggesting that all sales managers are indeed created equal - seeing that the activity does not change just the application of your skills?

Sorry but online marketing is not a market. It’s an activity directed at a particular market. Which planet are you from ?

Thanks for your comment Chris!
Education is a big part of this process, and we’e always happy to be involved.

I just don’t think that many of the educational institutions, or the public, realise that online marketing is a growing industry and that one can successfully make a career from it (sales and otherwise).

Online marketing is an interesting market, per say. Having the ability to sell is a wonderful talent, and as I’m sure you’re aware, not many people are gifted with this. Finding someone with the talent is hard enough, let alone someone with the talent who is interested in turning to a market which is probably a taboo to them. What worse than being a sales person who can sell to suddenly a sales person who CANNOT sell because they’re learning the ropes - that’s where I see a big problem occuring.

As far as education goes, that’s the key. Learn, educate, sell and if you follow that 3 step process, sales will increase, like any market, but specifically for online marketing. With companies realising that the economy is making it difficult to invest large amounts of money into website initiatives, it makes sense to invest money into online marketing and should a company be educated about this, sales will spike.

Anyway, that’s my 2c on this great topic
