It’s been a few months since the last show but I have been itching to do a podcast and Mike Filsaime’s report, The Death of Internet Marketing (aff), stirred a lot of thoughts in my mind, which I decided to brain-dump into a solo podcast episode for all to enjoy.
A warning – this is a serious ramble and I cover a lot of topics (see the show notes below for details) but it’s very current and I suspect if you are at all interested in Internet marketing or online business, as an industry and as a participant, you will enjoy this podcast.
Let me know what you think in the comments!
Show Notes
- I review many of the things discussed in the Death of Internet Marketing report by Mike Filsaime
- I mention Butterfly Marketing several times
- Rich Schefren and his reports, The Internet Business Manifesto, The Missing Chapter and Final Chapter all get a mention.
- My upcoming site, Blog Traffic School, is in there too.
- I talk about my fellow bloggers, Steve Pavlina and Brian Clark.
- Social media is included, with sites like Technorati, Del.icio.us, Digg and YouTube featuring in comparison to old-school counterparts like Ebaumsworld.
- It’s also worth mentioning Product Launch Formula (aff) since much of the discussion centers around the state of Internet marketing and the product launch phenomenon.

Hi Yaro! I downloaded your masterplan mp3 long time ago and I listened to it while on vacation. I must say it is pretty amazing, I just need the guts to start making my own membership site!
Internet marketing is stronger than ever in the time of economic downfall.
I agree yaro, if you love underwater basket weaving you can create a site and a 1st class course on the best undiscovered methods, but if no one is buying theres no business. Just an eccentric with a lot of time on his hands.
I liked it …. I think! Passion is passion. You need passion to stay enthusiastic with the tedious tasks, thats for sure.
I’ve always felt that it was very much an over-hyped report, but then again, much of what Mike does is quite over-hyped.
Success= Best Plan+ Hard Working + Consistency + Passion+ Patience. Anyway, thank you for this awesome post.
It was quite a rant… but a good rant!
but a good rant! thanks

Thanks for sharing this podcast, I do believe that good internet marketing is a recession-proof business model.
I feel that Internet Marketing is as strong as it ever was. Just search on google for you relevant niche and check the amount of competitors. It’s not just basic SEO that’s going to get you onto the first page.
One can sell a lemon with passion once but can one sustain the sales pitch with lemon in hand. very good!!!
Isn’t it amazing what people will do to create exposure…death of internet marketing, blog posting, etc.?
I’m not convinced that passion is sufficient to keep you motivated doing the tedious stuff. The only thing that works for me is to outsource it,
What concerns most folks is exposure and traffic. All their actions are paced for that objective.

In my opinion, passion is one of the basics for a successfull business.
It could get very hard, to convience anybody of your idea, when you dont have the passion & strength.
have been searching for this for quite some time
Thanks for sharing the information. In my opinion Internet Marketing can not die till the time Article Marketing is alive.
I hope it won’t happen. Marketing is interesting and of course powerful.
Thank you for the podcast. It was very interesting,I myself am also reporting lower conversion rates. My overall conversion for the end of the month has dropped by around 35%.
The competition is getting harder.
