Liane » Yes but blogging can and often does include internet marketing. And your example of Third tribe is a perfect example of many people working to transform their internet marketing efforts into ethical and effective campaigns.

I have to agree and disagree on some aspects.

Indeed, the long sales copy days (with tons of bonuses pre-written testimonials, and big bold red letters) are over. But that didn’t altogether mean a change in the general setting of Internet Marketing.

Contrary to popular belief, blogging isn’t internet marketing. In fact, it’s far from it. Internet marketing is directly a business of it’s own. Think of it as it’s own sphere. Like Blogosphere is to us.

Internet marketing doesn’t really require you to have blogs. It requires you to be smart enough on your campaign. No more traditional methods anymore, probably thanks to The Third Tribe that started to make the difference.

has anyone read a book on relationship marketing yet?

I would love to kn ow more about the topic based on other people’s experiences rather than from an academic point of view.

Storytelling beats theories any day.

TOm, that was indeed a good realization. Some testimonials are scripted and computer generated. But on the marketers point of view, maybe they are using those statements to kickstart their sales. There are hoping for a really genuine testimonials to come up from their customers mouth.

Yeah you’re right.

Your influence is a function of your perceived expertise and your expertise can be partly measured by your content and how you help with problem solving.

Tom,

I see you changed your name from that comment I made on that one post about not advertising your blog name with your name.

Networking and relationships are key and I think we should turn the conversations we have had and put them into the testimonial pages if we do have one. Make them meaningful and have good purpose.

Right! And I also agree with Mikkel statements below. Influence will add more spice on that good relationship we have. If we can be a good influencer on our audience, then, blog marketing will be easy as pie.

When you have a good relationship with your audience, you only need one more thing, which is influence.

It is “easy” to get good relationships with your audience, compared to get influence.. That’s quite hard!
