Since the boom in social networking platforms, many people from various industries recently took notice of the Internet as a platform for “serious” business and marketing.

Because of this rapid growth and explosive, a good number of businesses and independent professionals have overlooked the basics of internet marketing and have trained many myths. Here I tell you that I think are the three main

one. Web traffic is not as important

People / businesses that do not get much traffic (visitors) on their websites obviously tell you that traffic is not as important, but you must understand that traffic is what makes a business on the Internet is good or not.

While you and your business are exposed to, more people the better. It is true that most important is the quality of the visits that are interested in what you have, but who said you cannot have quality visits, and many are themselves?

2. The email marketing is dead

the fact that now the majority of internet users spend much time on social networks does not mean go out there to sell directly.

When you signed up for You Tube, Face book, Twitter and linked in did you do it without an email account? Are communications about your bank account you send them to Face book or Email? “To integrate a payment platform on your website ask for your credit card and your Twitter account or your email account?

Use an email marketing service (not just your RSS feed subscriptions) as Weber for example, and have an email list of subscribers volunteers, with whom you have a good relationship because they give useful content … is the most powerful thing you can have with your internet business.

3. Not need to invest in knowledge because there is free information on all

the great Jim Rohm said, “Skip a meal if you must, but never do with a book.”

Not all information is freely available; do not believe the story of people who skimp on their training. If you want to earn serious money, invest in yourself and your business … invest in the experience of others, no bargain for your success.

Obviously not, invest in any book / course. Notice that the author has own results with what he teaches, and that is key … the author must have own results with what he teaches.

The social network marketing goes far beyond having a bog, a Twitter account and Face book page. Marketing on social networks does not work “in all its glory” if not very well known internet marketing in general. You must have a proven business model, before joining social networks.

Crude oil futures in the U.S. fell in May closed on Friday and the biggest monthly decline since December 2008, during the financial crisis.

The contract fell to risk aversion that caused the reduction in credit rating of Spain.

In the New York Mercantile Exchange, crude for June delivery fell 58 cents, or 0.78%, to 73.97 dollars per barrel, trading from 73.13 to 75.72 dollars.

Fitch Ratings downgraded the credit rating of Spain on a step, saying the country’s economic recovery would be “weaker” than projected by the Government, due to the severe austerity measures adopted this week.

“Oil futures are down a lot and all down to the news of the credit downgrade of Spain. Looking long weekend, crude oil has clung to the stock market is falling because of fears in euro area, “said Mark Waggoner, president of Excel Futures in Bend, Oregon.

The Dow and S & P 500 in May recorded its worst monthly percentage drop since February 2009.

The euro fell after the decision of Fitch Ratings to downgrade the rating to Spain.

Weak economic data in the United States also pressured crude prices.

U.S. consumer spending was unexpectedly flat in April, although disposable income posted its biggest increase in nearly a year, the Commerce Department said.

The Institute for Supply Management-Chicago said its index of business activity in the Midwest fell in May. The business grew by less than expected after the decline in employment data.

U.S. consumer sentiment rose slightly in May compared to April but remained near the levels reported since February, while inflation expectations one year climbed to a record since October 2008, a survey group of Thomson Reuters and University of Michigan.

Earlier in the session, crude futures rose sharply on the rise of the euro and global equities.

Oil prices were extremely volatile in May. U.S. crude hit an intraday low of 64.24 U.S. dollars on May 20 before the expiry of the position in June, nearly $ 23 below a maximum at $ 87.15 3 May, and its highest level for 19 months.

The volatility made investors cautious, although some oil traders say the market would have found a floor.

A survey on Friday of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) showed a rise in crude supply in May to its highest level in 17 months.

Oil demand in the United States climbed nearly 7% in the last four weeks, said the Energy Information Administration (EIA for its acronym in English), and led by a 16% rise in demand for distillates, which include diesel and heating oil.

46% of economic activity in San Felix is informal and 88% of this is directly related to the sale of food, which leads to the conclusion that “the food moves the economy” of that part of Ciudad Guyana says economist Marco Tulia Mendez.

The data shows these figures come from a study of poverty and unemployment by the Center for Research on Education, Productivity and Life (Kiev) of the Universidad Catholic Andres Belo de Guyana.

According to the report of the research center, the informal economy is divided into two major sectors: food stalls and street vendors. Together account for nearly half of business in San Felix.

In the formal economy, food retailers occupy 39% of the total, exceeding fifteen percentage points to the industrial sector, which ranks as the second economic strength of San Felix.

This informality in San Felix trade directly affects the levels of poverty and unemployment in that area, since this type of trade encourages school age youth beginning in the labor market right after the high school and even before and “while lowest educational level the higher the percentage of poverty.”

In Puerto Orders, in contrast to its sister city, the pyramid is inverted because the educational level is higher and this “can get a job with better income level and improving the quality of life,” said Mendez.
