Jonathan Leger just wrote a post on the advantages of internet marketing in a bad economy on his blog.

He mentions that one reason that the Internet is so different than mainstream media such as television, radio, newspapers, etc. is the ability to be able to see your ROI almost immediately. In the mainstream media, results are so much more difficult to track as opposed to online marketing tactics like Pay Per Click (PPC) for one.

The second reason he mentions is that people who lose their job may look online for work options in the new economy.

He also points out that since the Internet is  worldwide, your risk is leveled across the playing field. One country’s economy doesn’t necessarily bring down everyone economy.

** I don’t agree with that as evidenced by what’s been going on lately in the markets. The whole world is affected by the US economy for the most part. Of course there are pockets where it will not be felt as much.

Personally, in the last two weeks,  friends have asked me to help them setup their websites. Both of them have thriving businesses, both for over 15+ years. Both in the home remodeling business. One is a contractor, the other installs and finishes wood flooring. Both now realize that business is drying up. Relying on word of mouth and the yellow pages just isn’t enough.

The point is that there exists a huge advantage to being on the internet, earning on a living or helping your offline business with other sources of revenue.

I am reminded of Jay Abraham comparing a business to a diving board. A diving board isn’t a mechanism for going up, but for going down.  Most businesses are setup like diving boards, with just a single “pillar” on one side holding it up, or one source of revenue. By adding different streams, or pillars, you ensure that you’re business will not just survive but thrive.

I highly recommend  Earn1KaDay.com to anyone, no matter at what level you are at in your Internet Marketing career. There is an ever increasing plethora of information for anyone to make money with in these times.

One of my favorite stories is James Schramko, he is running a 7 figure a year business, and here is what he has to say about Earn1KaDay.com, after donating an ebook, he’s currently selling on Clickbank.
