E-learning Promoted in Wake of Online Marketing Boom
Recent purchases such as YouTube signal the increasing success of online marketing, a global industry expected to be worth $54 million by 2010. Jobs in Internet marketing require more skills than the standard marketing know-how. To prepare for these new employment opportunities, students have their choice of online marketing classes and degree programs from a variety of e-learning and campus-based programs.
(PRWEB) November 7, 2006 -- Google's buyout of YouTube forecasts an increasingly robust online marketing environment with new employment opportunities, reports Business-Programs.com. The demand for an online marketing savvy labor force is driving online education markets, as both for-profit and public universities compete to offer e-learning programs to nontraditional and traditional learners alike. Business-Programs.com gives potential students the educational information they need to make informed decisions about the best e-marketing programs available online.
When Google purchased YouTube for $1.65 billion, the transaction signaled a looming online marketing explosion. Gaining access to YouTube's 72 million viewers, Google will obviously profit from online advertising. But the company no doubt is looking beyond YouTube's viewership, to the reality that online advertising is expected to grow to approximately $54 billion worldwide by 2010.
This flourishing advertising market will likely create a significant number of new jobs in the online sector, beyond the rosy projections by the U.S. Department of Labor for solid growth. Employers in this vibrant online economy demand that job candidates possess skill sets beyond basic marketing know-how.
The president of the International Internet Marketing Association, Paula Skaper states, "Web marketing incorporates the best and most effective principles of marketing, then expands upon them to include the nuances of self-publishing, online transactions, and direct customer interactions." Would-be marketers are scrambling for educations that provide just such a "nuanced" understanding of the new online business environment.
Those hoping to enter the online marketing industry would do well to obtain training in online marketing specifically.
