The Advantages Disadvantages Of Internet Marketing are many.

A few Advantages Disadvantages Of Internet Marketing are:

And you may reach a global audience
However it:

Can leave the businessman feeling isolated
Hard to tell if people are lying because you can't see their face
And you can be overloaded along with information.
There are more Advantages Disadvantages Of Internet Marketing, but I wont cover them all in one article. However I will focus on a few important ones.



Positives:



Low cost:

The internet is made up of bad particals, so there is not really anything literally to grab hold of like in a brick and mortar business. This considerably reduces your own costs as you don't really need several materials or buildings. Just a computer with world wide web capabilities: )

Extremely fast:

A great advertisement I saw once mentioned "If you were an electron, you'd be better with there by now". This was an ad at an airport. It's mentioning the internet. It's made up of electrons therefore it is VERY fast. Click a link, and you could be looking at an Australian website, click on another one and you could be in America. In case you wanted to get information any other way from these countries, you may end up going there. The world wide web eliminates the need for this. Go any where you want with the click on of a button.

You can achieve a global audience:

By this particular I mean, you don't have to set up shop somewhere and sell to the locals. You can set up an internet shop, and sell to anyone in the world. This means a huge increase in potential income and a fraction of the cost it would take for you to set up shops all over the world.



Negatives:



Can leave the business person feeling isolated:

This is very typical. Because the world wide web is faceless (In most cases), it can appear cool and inhuman. This can leave you sensation isolated and very inward. Not a nice feeling at all. Everyone likes to socialize and meet people, but in this particular case, its quite difficult to, in business anyway.

Hard to tell when people are lying:

There is a lot information on the world wide web now, it's occasionally hard to tell the difference between garbage and quality. A lot of the crap will be targeted at newbies. Here's an example "Make money fast by doing NOTHING", sound familiar? I bet you've had a lot of emails saying something similar.



Information Overload:

Once more we get to the part of there as being a lot of information on the world wide web. There can be excessive good information too. There can be lots of competition for an industry, this can make you more confused than if there was presented with loads of crap. You might not be able to tell who to chose. If you are a veteran of the net, you will not have much to worry about, however should you be a newbie then this is an issue.



The above are the positive and the negatives. Overall, I would definitely say that when you can do business online, then definitely get it done.
