One of the things that I hope to eliminate from my vocabulary this year is the whole thing about an “Internet Business”. I first heard Dan Kennedy refer to the internet as simply a marketing channel, which is exactly what it is, a channel.

Too often people get a marketing channel confused with a business type, I was guilty of this as well. Think of the other marketing channels available and add the word ‘business’ to the end such as a TV business or a Radio Business, etc. Sounds silly unless you control the airwaves of course.

Tommy from Planet Bluto put it better when he said that there is no such thing as an internet business and I agree, check out the post here because he explains it a lot better than I can.

I don’t know if you’ve heard but NETWORK MARKETING IS NOW DEAD!  Wow it has been a rough year for business models and revenue sources.  Adsense died a year ago, then it was the sales letter, followed by Internet Marketing.  Good thing that John Reese brought Internet Marketing back to life!  I was getting worried!

Now apparently Network Marketing has finally the bucket.  .

Oh Network Marketing, how I miss thee!  If only someone can sell me a way to revive it!  Good thing Mike Filsaime has been around to deliver the bad news on a couple of these.  I think I would have missed out otherwise (just pickin on you Mike, LOL).  Okay, I am done being sarcastic but the whole “Death Of” is getting a bit ridiculous and funny all at the same time.

What do you think will die next?

What you think the next “Death Of” report/bulletin/shocking expose will be.  How about this one, The Death of Search Engine Optimization!  Wait, did someone already do that one?
