If you’ve done some research online about Internet Marketing, and are wondering if this is right for you, read on. I’ll let you know who should be an Internet Marketer, and why you would be perfect for it.

Just in case there is someone out there that doesn’t know what an Internet Marketer is, here goes: An Internet Marketer is someone who markets on the Internet. It really is that simple. You can be someone who has their own product and sells it online. You can be someone who sells someone else’s product online. You can be someone who has a website filled with helpful information.  You can even be someone who has a retail store, but decides to market your business online – or sell the same products online. As long as you are marketing online, you’ll fall under that category.

This can be someone who does this full time, or part time. But if you have a business online, or are starting a business online, you’re an Internet Marketer, whether you realize it or not.

Now the question is, who should become an Internet Marketer? Well, to start with, you’d better enjoy being online. If you don’t like being in front of a computer, especially on the Internet, then this definitely isn’t for you. You’ll need to be online to market the products you’ll be offering, so you’d better enjoy spending some time on your computer.  There are a lot of different ways to make money online, and a lot of ways to promote your products, but almost all of them involve a lot of time staring at a computer screen.

You should also like marketing. If you don’t want to help sell a product, you’ll never make any money. It doesn’t matter if it’s your product or not. If you don’t want to put any time and effort into selling it (and there are many, many ways to do that), you’ll never make any money. Even if you say “Well, what if I just put up an AdSense site? I don’t need to market in that case, since I’m not selling anything”…well, I hate to break it to you, but you still are. You’ll still have to figure out how to get people to your website, and how to convince them to click on your links so that you’ll earn money.

Being an Internet Marketer is great for someone who enjoys working on their own, and is enterprising. If you’re doing this, most likely you won’t have someone telling you what to do. So if you can’t motivate yourself to get stuff done, you probably won’t make a lot of money. If you can motivate yourself to keep working, you’ll probably do a lot better!

Ok, so now you have an idea of what types of skills and interests you should have in order to decide to become an Internet Marketer. What types of people is this good for? That’s easy. Here’s a list:

• Stay at Home Mom’s (SAHM’s): This is a great group of people that Internet Marketing is perfect for. You’re already home, and might be looking for a way to make some extra money, or even a lot of money so that you don’t have to go back to work. While you’ll have to take breaks to take care of the children, hopefully you’ll be able to find a decent amount of time to be on the computer, working. Since you can set your own hours (after all, it is your own business), it’s great for someone who is a SAHM. Plus, you have a lot of skills and knowledge that others out there are sure to be interested in!
• Someone who has a job that they hate, and wants to leave: Well, as you know, these days it is especially hard to find a new job…and people are lucky to keep the ones they have. But what if you absolutely hate what you’re doing? Then Internet Marketing could be perfect for you. You should still go to your job each day, but when you get home, you’ll be motivated to put the time into Internet Marketing, so that you will become successful, and eventually be able to leave your job – to do something that you enjoy!
• Someone who wants to earn some extra money: Let’s face it. Even with a job, often it would be nice to have a little extra money around. You don’t want to get a second job, but would be willing to put in a few hours here and there to earn a little extra money. Internet Marketing is great for that. You can put in as much time (or as little) as you’d like, whenever you have the free time. As time goes on, you’ll see that you can bring in a decent amount of money, even with just a little bit of work each day.
• People who love to help others: Many Internet Marketers make their money by helping other people solve their problems. They have the knowledge on how to solve a specific problem, and people will pay them for that information. If you have certain knowledge that can help others, you’ll get the benefits of helping someone else out, along with being able to make money online.

As you can see, there are many reasons why you should become an Internet Marketer, and who would be good at it…and that is just a few!  There are many more reasons to become an Internet Marketer, and why it would be perfect for you. If you’re looking to make some extra money, this is really a great way to do so.
