Internet is a big market with continuous flow of information. Every hour new person start his journey into new territory that seems so fascinating to him. He could be information seeker, pleasant seeker or opportunity seeker but this seeker would always be generating income for the Internet industries whether he knows it or not. When there is business demand there is supply.
Supplies are coming from people who has been around quite some time on the Internet and has the experience of internet environment by looking at things and people behavior. With these knowledge the suppliers will make certain approach for satisfying the business demand's need. Due to this nature of new environment of opportunity more suppliers are coming in each day to compete for the business demand. Various of methods are applied to attract this business demand. Result are tracked. Quick action has to be taken to stay ahead of other competitor.
The relation between business demand and supply will determine how much the price would be. For example if the demand is for free information the suppliers would attract demand to its supply with free information and bonuses gimmick but unfortunately for the internet's high demand business free is still a price to pay. And you should now by now that most free requested information needs some kind of identification which is usually in the form of an email and first name or username.
Looking for work is another type of high demand business. This high demand business is so huge that the suppliers are using it as a bait to attract job seeker to their products. Most of the time the real job that is offered is not even what most people are looking for but it is advertised that way because it attracts job seekers. They lured job seekers with easy job opportunity or extreme income because that is what most people want to hear. All of that type of jobs exist because of the business demand and supply relationship.
When the competition is getting hotter and hotter and the time for demand to accept the supply is getting longer and longer( due to scam phobia) a method to give confidence and assurance is created. That could be seen with the use of testimonial, proof of income, joint venture(JV) or product reviews. Method of urgency such as time line and one time offer(OTO) are created to influence the physcological aspect of interested seekers. "Money is in the list" has also been sacredly preached to justify the needs for its existence. The list are collection of emails that have been acquired from different type of advertising. With this list comes along the process of email marketing such as e-courses or reports. And from conversion rates gather from research and testing the demand for list is increasing.
When business demand is high so do the supply. Paid services for email list grows. Where did this paid list came from? None other from the vast free services or free information providers. Not all are doing it but most of these free providers are the culprit but no proof could made since no transaction are recorded. Do we stop it? No! Because like I mention before our world economies use problems to make it grows. So there come anti-spam utilities. Yes! It is a high demand business indeed. Just like anti-virus, spyware remover or adware remover. This economy create problems itself for its own good. We have space technology but no technology to stop these kind of problem for good. The sad thing is most of the time the culprit is not even a scientist but still can do harmful things. So what conclusion can be made by that? None other the economy agenda.
Joint Venture is another major method that has been used by marketers to jointly promote their products and grow their mailing list. By giving reviews to each other products and give out recommending testimonials they are manipulating the market and take advantage of the fear factor that have been surrounding the internet market environment.
Membership type site for private use is also in the rise. It has been said internet business will grow around membership site. It is the way of conquering the market by way of authority site. People with more money will give out more to attract opportunity seeker. Monopoly in high demand business will rise. Rich people would be getting richer and richer and poor people would be getting poorer and poorer. It is just like MLM(Multi Level Marketing) where only the top level people makes money whereas the workers who keep promoting the MLM biz only generate few income. And finally these workers will quit because the time they spend on the biz is not worthwhile. But the MLM typed business organization don't care because other new workers will come in and be their unsuspecting slaves.
Business people with money and knowledge will use all their resources to take advantage and try to monopolize their market. If you take a look at their high demand business mechanism only small handful people with a lot of money will get access to their valuable resources while their free member will only be getting "everybody already know resources" and not forget constant bombarbment of sales pitched email. They would rather having $1,000,000 product sell to 1000 people instead of to 10,000 people with the same value. So why welcoming 10,000 free member when there is limitation? The reason is to be an authority site where a lot of people will visit their site and that'll lead to high website ranking and high PR(Page Rank) and at the same time still manage to control valuable resources in order to limit the competition. With high ranking and PR they could attract high advertising money from Merchants so more lucratively passive income for their sites.
So that is how the game is played. It is all part of the human nature. We are trying to be better than others but do we want to let people who are around us to succeed as well or let them figure it out themselves. And do you know how it turn out to be when the game is played the way it has been playing all this time? Well if you interested in knowing then let's go to How The Game Ends.
