Do you want to hear my answer to why Internet Marketing is so popular? It’s simple, really - 250 million. You’re probably thinking - what the heck?! Ok, ok, let me explain - 250 million is approximately the number of Internet users in North America, according to Word Internet Usage Statistics website [http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm]. But really, it gets better and my answer now is 750 million. Because you know, the average time spent on browsing Internet each day is 3 hours per person.
How is this time spent? Since you are one of these users, you already know or at least guess the answer. Moving beyond guess-work, research shows [http://www.clickz.com/showPage.html?page=3455061] that people mostly spend time communicating, gaming, shopping, and simply surfing. Surfing takes up as much as 15% of time spent on Internet or roughly 27 minutes per person per day. 27 minutes of “just browsing” might not sound like much, but it sure beats the amount of time people spend exposed to newspaper ads or TV commercials on any given day.
Of course, it would’ve been great if the entire 27 minutes of unstructured surfing time were spent on your website learning about your “amazing super-widgets” or whatever else you’re selling. Except of course, there are millions other sites promoting “super-widgets” similar to yours. And even if some or most of them are a lot less amazing than yours, they will still beat you to the top of Google search unless you get serious about Internet Marketing.

A blogsite is a hybrid between a website and a blog and combines elements of both. At its core, it is a blog - a place for entrepreneurs to regularly post text, photos, audio and video entries related to their companies, services and products. In addition to the main blog page, a blogsite also features pages with static content typically found on business websites. This includes Home page, About Us page, Contact page, Products or Services page, e-commerce-equipped pages, and many other options.
Blogsite saves money
The only people that make money creating and maintaining websites are web designers. Most business owners lack both time and expertise to build even a simple website. So they go out and hire a web designer. As most entrepreneurs know, a website is a work in progress. There’s always something that needs tweaking, changing, updating, etc. Read the rest of this entry…

I am in the middle of reading The 4 Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss and am enjoying it very much. He without a doubt has a very unique writing style and many great ideas. Some of his info is rather controversial and some make a lot of sense. I would love to know what everyone else out there thinks of this book. Have you read it or heard about it? If yes tell me what you think and if you have tried anything from his book. Seems like all the internet marketers out there rant and rave over this book and use it as a guideline for their own business. Should we all be using his philosophy or shall we all find our own philosophy. The one thing that I would really like to know is what do you think of “Parkinson’s Law”. Please post comments I really want to hear from you.
