Text web pages and blogs are here to stay. There are many people that prefer to read information. Videos and podcasts have their places, but they cannot be printed out. But in some ways, vlogging and podcasting are better than creating text websites and blogs.

With text, you can do many things, and you can even portray emotion to an extent. But you cannot fully express your emotions. With vlogging and podcasting, there really is no limit to the amount of emotion you can express with your voice (podcasting) or with your actions (video). You can change the pitch of your voice drastically to portray excitement, passion, sarcasm, or any other type of expression or emotion.

Video allows you to demonstrate things that you cannot possibly demonstrate with plain text. For example, video can be used to demonstrate how to groom a poodle. With text, you can only explain it, but not really show it in action. Humor is better displayed on video as well. We’ve probably all seen the funny stories about giving a cat a pill – but actually being able to watch someone try to do it is hilarious.

People cannot take text with them, without printing it out. However, if you have a vlog, it can be used as a vodcast, and if their portable media device is equipped for video, it’s easy to load it up and take it on the go. Of course, podcasts can also go wherever the listener goes, much easier than text can.

People can listen to podcasts while doing multiple other things, such as house cleaning, exercising, driving, etc. However, even if they print out text, they really can’t read it while doing any of these things. In fact, reading pretty much requires 100% focus on the text. Vlogs and podcasts do not.

Vlogs and podcasts are getting a great deal of attention these days, more so than text. People like new technology, and podcasting and vlog technology advancements are being made almost daily. People get upgraded portable media devices, and want to try them out – they are searching for podcasts and vodcasts – or video blogs – more than they are searching for text.

There is also another way that vlogs and podcasts are better than text. People who cannot see are able to hear your voice, instead of a computer voice that reads a web page, when you have a podcast or vlog.

Again, this doesn’t mean that text is becoming obsolete. That will not happen. Just as vlogs and podcasts have distinct advantages over text, text also has distinct advantages over vlogs and podcasts. What does this all add up to? You can’t forgo text for podcasts and vlogs. If you do, you will find that you aren’t doing nearly as well as you were with just plain text, and you will do even better when you learn to combine text with podcasting and/or vlogging. While technology advances, text is a classic that is never going to go out of style.

Internet marketing has been defined many ways, but in actual fact it’s simply doing business, especially the marketing side of it, online. While most often it refers to entrepreneurial pursuits by the work-at-home pros or part-time by marketers still working outside the home in the 9-to-5 workaday world, increasingly bigger companies are catching on and actively embracing Internet marketing instead of merely throwing up ‘brochure’ web sites.

New advances in internet technology are constantly providing new opportunities for businesses to add to their marketing approach and content. Likewise, advances in technology are making more affordable options available to the consumer, and so many more people are logging onto the internet every day. As they do, the demographic is changing, and no longer is the wealthy individual the only target of internet marketing. Today virtually all income levels must be considered in the internet marketing approaches of business.

In the 1990s, internet marketing went berserk. It was a brand new concept, and caution had been thrown to the wind in all the hype. Companies did not take into consideration that the same variables of marketing in other forms of media should logically be applied to internet marketing as well. Their failure to study markets and create sound strategies led to the fall of many so-called dot-coms in the end of 2000. The survivors, and successors, began to look toward time-tested logic in marketing for direction, and the result was massive growth.

Through the now-careful approach of businesses and marketers alike, targeted advertising on the internet has brought forth great success. Virtually any market you may wish to break into can be tapped on the internet. Many marketing firms offer the solutions a business needs to get their products out to consumers, while a small firm may wish to handle their marketing on their own and can find lower-cost solutions for their goals as well.

Search engines are a major resource for marketing, but typically are only able to provide ideas for what the consumer is already searching for. To accomplish the spontaneous suggestions offered by television or radio, pop-up ads and ads placed directly on a web-site are used. E-mail is an excellent form of marketing, but typically only has success once a business has built a good relationship with the consumer.

More and more people are spending more and more time on the internet daily. The reason is simple: the convenience offered by the internet, coupled with the increasing abilities of the internet to help you get your tasks completed, has allowed for all types of business to be conducted with point and click ease. Many tasks no longer require a trip in the car to be completed. Thus, relationships are growing on the web, and as they do, the pace of internet commerce has rocketed into the trillions of dollars. Those relationships spawned the Web 2.0 social sites, and social marketing has recently sprung up as one more facet of Internet marketing. MySpace, FaceBook, Squidoo, Google Knol and Twitter may be fun for the general public, but each is a new profit center for Internet marketing pros!

While the general economy in North America, and much of the world, really, is in the doldrums, thousands of individual Internet marketers and small Internet marketing companies are flourishing, bringing in 6, 7 and 8-figure incomes annually. Pretty much every weekend there’s one or more Internet marketing seminar or convention being held around the country, as more and more people realize that Internet marketing can allow them to live their dream lifestyle!
