Business needs more sales rather than just the marketing. Marketing must aid to conversion into more sales. More marketing must lead to more sales. Period.

Those who follow what “marketing” really means, will be successful in no time, sadly though, most people conceive marketing as a form of money making and have continuously spam the internet giving birth to blackhats and hacking.

@ Bob Richards: People make good money from blogging. The more blogs you have, the more niches you cover, the more money piles on. All with very little effort.

When you consider the use of auto-responders, exit pop-ups etc, online is by far the greatest medium to be working from.
24/7 people are constantly searching for information online, and with the convenience of online security, people tend to purchase more information products online than they do offline.

Amazon comes to mind and, in terms of online marketers making a serious living online, one need only go to any search engine, type "John Reese, Russell Brunson," to name a few, of the top names making over 7 figures each year.

With the recession still biting, brick and mortar buildings are losing market share, and shedding employees faster than a snake sheds its own skin.

Food for thought.

Very interesting. We just need to look at marketing at a more positive way, or as you say – “sharing ideas”, and then we can become more creative. Thanks for this inspiring post!

Great post. I too have thought that most of what is touted on the web as “marketing” is not really. The web is a poor medium for the old stodgy “marketing” as you say it's more about sharing ideas and finding your audience, then figuring out how to sell them something, and then sell them something again.

Action in my opinion is what the majority of people are lacking in. For instance there are people who buy all these valuable ebooks on marketing etc. Then instead of taking action they just sit around and look for another ebook or report. Many people have all kinds of ideas but it still comes down to action. Without taking action then nothing will be accomplished.

I agree, without ideas there's no way to move forward. Without technology ideas can never change as many lives that it does. Anyone who makes it and then gives it away ,will surely get more back.

Bob – I think, as much as people would love to deny it, that you’re right to a degree. There are plenty of folks earning over 100K, but they have business models that function and make sense, not just “look at me!” attention-based models.

I dont really get this whole thing about on-line marketing: blogging and social networking, etc to generate money. People marketing in the off-line world generate a lot more money (I don’t see anyone in the on-line world making $100,000 sales but that’s an everyday occurrence in many areas, off-line). It seems that people hoping to make a living with web sites will:
never earn more than $100,000 a year
are trying to not work
failed at making a living in the real world
have no sales skills

Am I being to harsh or is this the reality?

Great post! I think that this is a great explanation because it truly highlights the importance of standing for something and properly articulating your idea.

If a bad or fuzzy idea is what is driving the company, obviously sharing the idea is made more difficult and the selling/call to action for the idea is going to suffer.

By approaching marketing and sales from the point of view that they are related to the idea, it should help an organization focus on getting that right before worrying about how to market or sell.

As individuals we are an entire company in one person- bizdev, sales, marketing, CSR, prod development, quality control, janitor, etc. It can be easy to focus to much on one thing. Good thoughts, thanks.
