What really resonates with me about this definition is the recognition that it isn’t just about social media. We need all media and social is just one thread of that fabric.

It is always harder to edit for simplicity. Love to see you try to reduce to haiku form ;) Or even into a tweet.

I can define Internet Marketing in 2 sentences:

1) Attracting new people to know you through Internet.
2) Make people who know you stay engaged with you.

By “you” I mean literally you or a company.
By “people” I mean not only loyal or potential clients, but also partners, investors etc.
How do you like this definition? -)

I don’t like ‘forcing’ engagement or interaction if I can avoid it. But really a Facebook follow, or a blog subscription, or whatever, is a form of interaction too.

fancy words always cost more than plain ones, even though the plain ones are more valuable

i’m biased, but love #3!

If you used those three sentences to explain what you do to my Brother and he got it, then you’re good!

The simple things take the most time. Easy to understand that this three liner took more time. But it’s worth it.

Though i can’t comply with point two. Is it really the list thing? For me it’s more about forcing engagement or interaction. Don’t know.

Great post anyways! Philosophic/meta content keeps me always reading :)

It’s amazing how much harder it is to edit than it is to just rant.

I like the definition, but did you think about something specifically tied to revenue or making clients more money? I guess the lists point of course leads to more revenue.

I have an internet marketing buddy and he always says, “How will this make me more money” whenever I pitch him something.
