2010 Predictions for Internet Entrepreneurs

Here are a few 2010 predictions that Internet Entrepreneurs
can be anticipating:

1. Social Media, as well as the traditional Marketing avenues will make greater moves and acceptance into the mobile market mainstream. With the new and innovative technologies that will improve in the next few months in mobile devices, we can set up strategies now to gain a foothold as this technology offers a greater avenue for getting marketing messages delivered.
2. Person-to-Person relationship building will take on a higher level than in previous years. In 2010, the "connect-with-me-so-I-can-sell-you-something" strategy will begin to fade away, thankfully---and more personal business-friendly relationships will be developed. Internet Entrepreneurs will focus more on getting to know others before determining their "rights" to make a sales pitch.
3. Hype advertising and "scammy" schemes will lose hold in the mainstream and on the Internet businessperson. Even new Internet marketers will venture onto the 'Net realm with a higher mentality of "sense vs. nonsense" regarding advertising and opportunity promotions.
4. There will be a rise in the overall Business and Marketing Intellect in 2010. Focus will be on higher levels of business-to-subscriber and business-to-consumer. There will be a great "weeding-out" of mediocre marketers and businesspeople who will not take their businesses and business relationships to a greater, more personal level. Honing and updating the knowledge base of pure Entrepreneurship will be the key to surviving the next year online.
5. 2010 will see the re-birth of offline market prospect acquisition as more Internet Entrepreneurs begin to take notice of consumers in the offline market. These Entrepreneurs will begin to use the Internet as a marketing tool to reach those prospects on the outside. The Internet will then serve as a dual-marketing avenue that will generate relevant income from both online and offline consumers.
6. The recession has awakened the overall mentality of the world-wide prospect base. They realize that past philosophies of "follow-the-leader" in business, politics, and economics placed them in a precarious position of which they struggle to survive. This has birthed a new philosophy that will move these people onto new personal, intellectual, and creative plateaus that will help them become more successful, smarter, and more individually sovereign in the future. They will begin to make better and higher use of the Internet to exercise these new plateaus. This move has been a long time coming, and 2010 will prove to be a turning point from the old mentality to the new.

Will it all come to fruition in 2010?
Maybe not fully, but it surely will be the beginning of a great turnaround.
