Marketer? Person? What are you?

Jason Parker's Internet Marketing Show

In one of the many forums that I have attended as an internet marketer and developer, a very interesting topic of discussion was raised. The question was, who should we put first, the person or the marketer within us. The meaning of the statement was whether when you are making a sale, you get that sale completed by hook or crook, or do you stay within your limits and compromise on marketing. Now, most of you who know me can easily say which view I will take, but the others would simply have to guess. I for myself would not say anything at this moment as I do not want to jeopardize my situation. But the answer will be clarified as we move on.

However, the topic in itself is quite contradictory because we cannot say what really ever defined or defines the juncture of being a marketer and a person. To illustrate how difficult it is to differentiate I would like to use the topic of pop-ups.

I am sure that most of you are aware of pop-ups and for those without the prior knowledge; pop-ups are small windows which pop up at times across your browser window with some message written on it. Usually, it is a form of advertisement that the site owner would like to project to you but at the same time would want you to stay with their site and not leave without taking some action.

It has been found out that these pop-ups are extremely efficient for sales and advertising purposes. However, the back lag is that they can be blocked. If pop-ups are blocked in a PC then the site owner does not get to make much profit through the pop-up. But, pop-up blockers are not used by all and sundry and can be very irritating at times.

I do not like them at all, if you were to ask me about them. Also I use a blocker as I cannot take the headache of going through useless rubbish and find just one useful article. So, I do look up pop-ups sometime but only when they are about something useful. So, they can really bring an income.

Therefore what have you decided, would you continue with pop-ups or just block them.

So, who are you? A marketer or a person?

As for me, I am a person who practices marketing!
