I've spent a day looking for the “so called” better ways of performing as an online marketer.

It all started out as a boring dive into a sea of endless search engine results. As the search got narrowed down to a few blogs and sites, I've found some interesting posts, motivational speeches, white-papers and slides. I've read most of them, avid for information, but found no secret disclosed. Only a few pertinent observations on good/bad customer service and behavior. Photos included.

Saving time or being able to instantly access your prospects. Connecting efficiently and using multiple fun applications. There is no limit to the motives why people use social media. You get actually overwhelmed by the constant every-day need of keeping up with the news and having to ensure a permanent presence on Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin. Could not imagine a time where not even email was invented.

But it happened not so long ago. In the early '70's, “the father of email” created the first form of communicating between two computers. How did the first email really appear but, most of all, why is email so important still, in spite of every other type of online messaging also available ?

There are certain people that I instantly like, both online and in the offline world. Don't tell me it's all about karma, they must do something to attract the love around them. It's in the article's headline, some experts say, in the excellent writing or the sincerity transpiring through every pore. Most of the times, I haven't got the time to think of all the reasons why I dig a person. I just rely on my instinct and subscribe to a RSS feed, hit a like button or tweet a story.

But I would surely want these good intentions returned. And I am most interested in getting people to like my blog, post my story, in return. If you feel the same, this post will help.
