What are the opportunities for Information marketers using the internet?
I do think, and please don't take any offence, but if you haven't heard about the multiple ways of generating a substantial income on the Internet, then you would have been hiding behind a rock.
I'm sure you would have asked yourself the question "how could I get onto the bandwagon" while there still is time.
Don't despair, the Internet as a market place is huge. Did you know that the internet is attracting billions of dollars in advertising, and that the sales on the net are going through the roof? 
I would hazard a guess, but this is just the start, and some of the statistics around would support my claim.
Seventeen billion dollars annually are spent on advertising in the US alone, and only a small part of this amount is spent on advertising on the net. However in 2005 the advertising on the internet jumped 51.3 %, which was double of what experts expected. Google's advertising revenue went up 65 % in 2006 to $2.53 billion.
The window of opportunity is wide open for everyone, because the growth potential still is significant. There is a growth prediction of 150% or $10 billion over the next five years or so. I do think that these statistics show very clearly that it not too late at all. However, as always, get on to it rather sooner than later, it will not get easier as the gap will close at some stage.
Thanks to the invention of the World Wide Web, everybody gets an equal chance. As mentioned in one of my earlier blog entries, all you need to have is a computer and internet access. This is the "hardware" you need. Obviously it does help if you can type and have some knowledge that's of interest to the wider community.
The key to your success online as well as offline truly is not your knowledge alone, much more important, and this has always been the case, is how you market your product.
Don't make the mistake to assume that what you know is of interest to everybody and start producing product that can cost you a fortune.
Before you go and spend all your hard earned money, do survey the market, do ask people what they would like so see in a product, how much they would like to pay for the services/products you want to offer your market place.
I know of too many people who went out there and under or overestimated what the real demand in the market place.
Just like one of my mentors keeps repeating "you are not your market and give people what they want not what you think they need"
If you keep those two things in mind I can't see any reason why you wouldn't be successful in your online business.
