The advantages of internet marketing - well the most obvious one is the generating of income, whether part-time or full-time.  At least that's the first thing most people think of. I know when I stumbled across the subject, it's partially what caught my interest.

I say partially because I was actually in search of ways to learn the net.  I am a mature woman (that's as close as I get to revealing my age) and I wasn't raised with computers - they weren't in the schools and they weren't in everyone's homes - well certainly not in my home.  Don't get me wrong, in my employment history I was actually a word processor, so when it came to creating documents, I was in the know. Navigating the net however - especially the social networks like Facebook - well that was a different story. I even got frustrated doing searches on the internet - change one word and holy smokes you get a whole bunch of new sites!  

It was in one of these searches - a search that wasn't bearing much fruit I might add - that I came across articles about internet marketing.   So I started reading and researching and I realized that one of the advantages of internet marketing was that, if I chose the right training program, I could actually learn the net - which is what I wanted in the first place.

Well fast forward and here I am - learning so much and getting some welcome surprises along the way.  One surprise, and one of the advantages of internet marketing, is the creative side of it.  I'd always admired those that were creative - the passion and excitement they have for what they were creating - but I was never really very good at the traditional avenues of being creative - playing music, drawing, painting, dancing (although I DO love to dance).  I thought about taking up writing, but what they heck would I write about?

Surprise - you have to create to be able to market!  Creating websites, writing articles - I tell you once I started to learn, the ideas came so fast and furious I would have to stop every few minutes and write things down before I forgot them.  It's exciting and stimulating and definately one of the best advantages of internet marketing.  Check out my first website at learningtheinternet.ca - but keep in mind it was my first so be gentle with your assessment.

In closing let me say, if you're looking for something to sink your teeth in to, to get passionate about and to get the creative juices flowing, check out the advantages of internet marketing. Who knows, you'll probably even make some income from it.
