You Know Youre an Internet Marketer When...
Did you make the switch from corporate slave to independent consultant? If so, you may be part of the subculture known as "The Internet Marketer's Club." Out here on the Web, things are done a little differently. Nine to Five is a forgotten phrase. "Corporate casual" means tossing on a pair of lounge pants before booting up your laptop. Business meetings are held in the upper right-hand corner of your computer screen! So, how do you know you're a club member? What's the big clue-in that you've crossed the Point of No Return and you're officially relegated to Internet Marketer Status for the rest of your days? For me, it was when one of my internet pals just bought me a web domain out of nowhere. A web domain as a gift, wow! What a perfect way to show a fellow entrepreneur how much you care. Yes, the day I received a web domain as a present was the day I realized I was a Bona Fide Internet Marketer. Recently I asked some other professionals when their moment of internet marketing clarity happened. Here are some funny answers I got in reply.

Then you resort to battery back up on regular PC with about 30 minutes of work time left! - Tara Burner, http://completehouseservices.com You Know You're an Internet Marketer When... ...you dream in webstats, click through rates, effective CPM, cost per clicks, open rates, page views, unique user sessions, server response times, and the general flow of your web life. ...you can take off at a moment's notice to go anywhere, do anything, and be with whomever you want... as long as there is wireless broadband of course... ...you obsess about your reputation by not engaging in what 'those other guys do' that gives Internet Marketing a bad name. And lastly... You begin to think life is one huge A/B split testing planet. - Christopher Knight, http://EzineArticles.com Special thanks goes out to the members of Article Marketing Mania on Ryze.com, who contributed the material for this article.
