How Internet Marketing Works

From the last lesson, we learned that marketing was essentially the act of solving problems. I spoke of the marketer as a “middleman,” someone who brought together people who had a problem with the solution they were looking into it.

Someone who types in “how to lose weight by skipping rope” has a clearer idea of how they want to lose weight than the first person. If you provide them with the means of “how to lose weight by skipping rope,” what do you think you’re doing?
