Like many internet marketers, I read many predictions at the beginning of the year regarding what to expect for 2008 and what may be the hot trends in the internet marketing industry.

You have probably noticed, as I have, that the internet appears to be changing. Let’s look at these changes and how they point to 3 trends that may offer excellent opportunities for online marketers in the months ahead.

First of all, the internet market is still relatively new. Recent statistics show that only 18% of the world’s population has internet access. However, this is rapidly growing, especially in Asia.

As with all new markets, especially those that involve technology, the first ones to enter are the innovators and early adopters: so-called “internet geeks” and the entrepreneurs.

Then the market gradually enters the mainstream, where the vast majority of the population, and opportunities, exist. There is evidence to suggest that this is going on right now on the internet.

Many regular presenters at internet marketing seminars have commented on how the attendance at these events started to change in 2007. The usual group of “geeks” and “gurus” began to be replaced by people totally new to the concept of internet marketing.

So new that Michael Fortin, one of the top copywriters on the web, remarked that after speaking on stage he was very surprised to be asked questions such as, “How do you create a text file?”, or, “What is an auto responder?” More and more people are starting an online business for the first time, for more details visit to www.tube-pros-espects.com people who have limited internet marketing skills.

The veterans of the industry, the top marketers, have either moved on, retired, or are well aware of the trend towards the “newbie” market and are actively pursuing it.

Here’s the interesting part: the way these “gurus” are approaching the “newbie” market is increasing offline. Yes, you read that right. Offline advertising is now becoming very effective for marketing online opportunities. As a matter of fact, the initial results from an offline marketing campaign being conducted by the markers of the system I use for my network marketing opportunity has shown impressive results.

In addition to this offline trend, as mentioned above, people in Asia are beginning to come online in huge numbers. This is going to be a vast and lucrative market.

In summary, here are the 3 hot internet marketing trends to look for in 2008 and beyond:

1. the market in Asia.
2. The opportunities in offline marketing.
3. The many new people looking to start an online business.

Many internet marketers have already begun to serve these markets and are seeing surprising results.

Personally, I see the “newbie” market as having tremendous potential. Even if you have only been marketing online for one year, for more details visit to www.sell-using-the-web.com you probably have already gained a tremendous amount of knowledge that would be very useful to share with others.

The key here is to serve the market niche by offering solutions.

Internet marketers that choose to offer internet marketing strategies and solutions to these markets may be rewarded generously.

Multiply.com Puts the “Social” in Social Bookmarking

Popular social network raises the bar by facilitating discussions about bookmarked sites among friends and family.

[eminimall products="software"]

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) September 5, 2006 — In addition to blogs, video, photos, and music, Multiply users can now share, discuss, and tag bookmarks. Just like the other types of media, when adding a “link” to their personal site, Multiply users can specify exactly who they want to share it with and access to the item can be limited to just a few individuals, or expanded to include one’s whole social network. Further, users get notified via Multiply’s proprietary message board when somebody is sharing a link with them as well as when someone comments on a link. These notifications generate discussions about the topic of the site or story bookmarked. (See example: http://mrybells.multiply.com/links/item/14 )

“There are a number of social bookmarking sites out there but most are designed for adding your links to a huge public pool, and with such a large scope, it’s impossible to easily track not just the links of your friends but their comments as well. This may be one of the reasons behind why social bookmarking has not been more readily adopted by the mainstream population,” stated Peter Pezaris, Multiply’s President and Founder. “With communications tools focused on sharing within your bona-fide social network, Multiply has created an environment where people can have meaningful conversations about websites and interesting links that they’ve found directly with their inner social circle of contacts, where shared interests, pastimes and pursuits are much more common than with the universe of the Web.”

Multiply’s social bookmarking or “links” component is also fully integrated into Multiply’s tagging platform, which is unique in a few ways. Multiply’s tags cross content types, so if a user wants to publish some bookmarks to sites about “New York,” some videos and photos they’ve taken on their vacation to “New York,” and a blog entry about that vacation, they can do it on one site, versus four separate ones, and likewise others can easily find all that content. Multiply is also the only site that offers views of “personal tag clouds” that reflect content and topics aggregated by one’s direct contacts or one’s personal social network such as “Baby Charlie”, “Thanksgiving,” “Xmas”, and “vacations”, as opposed to a public aggregation of tags that run the gamut of topics from “Open Source,” “Design Tools,” “Java,” and “Ruby on Rails.”

“Most social bookmarking sites and tagging solutions, in general, focus on aggregating the most popular tags of all users on the system, or maybe even the aggregation of all the users on multiple systems,” added Pezaris. “This may be interesting to a narrow segment of early adopters of technology, but for most people, seeing what tags are popular among all their friends or their inner circle is more relevant and interesting.”
