An Internet Marketer Turns 12 by David Ledoux
I’ve been marketing on the internet since 1996. 12 long human
years, and it feels like a century in web years.That means I’m old…real old. I can pull my green checkered pants
up high on my chest, tighten my white leather belt, adjust my
bifocals and yell at you kids to get off my lawn!Back in 1996… we didn’t have Adobe Acrobat. In my opinion the
ability to create a digital product that no one could mess with
changed the game forever. Before we had Adobe, we would email rich
text files to people. Or Microsoft 2.0 Word Files. Or Old
Wordperfect files.And screw jobs would edit them, steal them and mess with them.
Piracy was rampant. People would steal your ebooks along with the
dancing baby and spinning earth widgets on your website!Everyone zoomed along with 2800 baud modems. But a few of us had
vision. I remember in early 1996 I interviewed several millionaires
on the telephone on a huge conference call. I had the audio
cassettes transcribed by a local girl (there was no Elance in those
days!) and then given away on one of my earliest sites. More than
12,000 people downloaded that transcript in ‘96. Those were record
numbers back then!And then I broke new ground. A young upstart company called Real
Audio had a program to convert a sound file into an audio file that
could be streamed over the “information super highway”. That’s what
we called the Interweb back in my day.We had skinny little tubes that pushed data into people’s
computers. And Rob Glazer had figured out a way to do it with
sound. By the middle of ‘97 I had several hours of streaming audio
on my site. I was a pioneer!It was easy to rank high on Alta Vista. That’s what we used to call
Google back in the day. Then that Wang kid started Yahoo. I phoned
him in early ‘96 I think to get my site listed.When a 14 year old John Reese invented the “automatic emailer
program” back in ‘96 we used it to send email newsletters to our
friends. This autoresponder-thingy gained steam when my friend Tom
launched Aweber. I was one of their first 99 customers. I’ve been
getting royalty checks from them for a decade!The cool thing about email back in ‘96 was everyone read your
stuff. People got so few emails back them, we’d get like a 99% open
and read rate. People would actually thank you for emailing them!
Maybe it was the steady diet of awesome TV like Friends, Seinfeld
and The Simpsons.Ah, the good old days. Internet marketing was simpler back then. We
walked to school 3 miles each way, barefoot uphill in snow, and we
liked it! None of this fancy flash stuff, no YouTube, no wireless,
no highspeed, voice-over-Magnum-PI, pay-per-tick, mumbo-jumbo.We made our money the old fashioned way online. We made 3 page static
websites and sold them for five grand a pop….Like any goldrush, the web back in 1996 was insane. There was a lot
of money to be made selling donkeys, rope, pans, eggs, picks and
shovels. Back then we’d sell the map to the gold mine and hungry
marketers would pay us top dollar. Today these lazy Red Bull
drinking kids want the map for free, the shovel for free, and
someone to dig up the gold for them for free while they sit on
their ever-widening behind playing Donkey Kong on their Wii!You young interweb whipper-snappers listen up! Anytime you feel
like complaining, remember this old coots words…”You ain’t got no
clue how easy it is getting rich on the internet today! Now get off
my lawn….”==============================================================
