In two way communication, your potential client controls where and when to look for information about your products and services. They will skip a message that isn’t when they want it. For example, today most people skip TV commercials.

The mix of methods that will work for you is unique. What works for someone else many not work the same for you.

The challenge with Internet Marketing is you have to figure out how to take the mystery out of the magic of internet marketing and create an effective marketing program that works for your business.
