Those internet marketers that have been selling online for 6 years or more probably remember the glory days of internet marketing when you could get PPC traffic for a cent a click and dominating a particular was as simple as putting up a website with a few rudimentary keywords and then waiting for the search engine traffic to arrive. Sadly those days are long gone and internet marketing has become more of a science than an art form.
Nearing 2010 and the whole internet marketing world is an entirely different beast. Big business already dominates many markets on the internet as they can now benefit from what economists call “economies of scale”. With internet usage in the English speaking world becoming very much main stream, big business has a potentially huge customer base to pitch to, meaning smaller online businesses continue to struggle to match budgets of the big players. Given this situation of increased costs and diminishing profits, who wouldn’t be longing for the good old days? Well the good news is that you can relive those good old days, if you choose to look at the Spanish speaking market. The Spanish speaking marketing is very immature in its overall evolution compared to the English speaking market. You can large amounts of PPC traffic for literally a few cents. It’s kind of like turning the clock back 10 years to 1999 when the opportunities seemed endless.
The first reaction to this kind of proposal is normally “But I don’t speak a word of Spanish!”. Sure this can be a hurdle to overcome but the fact remains that non-Spanish speakers can and have taken on this market and managed to succeed. Many factors that have traditionally prevented non-Spanish speaking entrepreneurs from taking on this market are fast eroding. Leaving the way open for the more adventurous internet marketers. Many payment providers can now facilitate the processing of payments in the persons native language so they aren’t getting lost just as you have closed the deal. Also Clickbank offer a growing range of products for the Spanish speaking market, and offer the interface to set it up in English so there is know need to really know Spanish to initiate the process of setting up referrals to Spanish products.
You can even use your same Google Adwords interface in English to find keywords and setup your Adwords campaigns. If you currently are promoting your own information products in English then the process of translating them to Spanish and benefiting from this rapidly expanding market is relatively simple. Outsourcing of such tasks is easy and cheap.
If you still have doubts here are a few things to consider. There are currently 332 million Spanish speaking internet users and that number is growing at rates not seen in the English speaking market for 10 years. Spanish is the third most common language used on the internet with only English and Mandarin (Chinese) ahead of it. No to forget that there are 30 million Spanish speakers in the United States alone. The rates of growth for internet usage in Latin America are quite incredible. For example, statistics suggest that internet usage has grown 1,465.6% from 2000-2008 in Colombia. This really is a market that is still immature and ready for those internet entrepreneurs who are looking to find fresh marketing pastures.
