Internet Marketing Success Spurs E-Learning

Internet marketing has become an increasingly successful industry, as demonstrated by Google's purchase of YouTube for $1.65 billion. In fact, experts are forecasting the online marketing industry to be worth $54 million globally by 2010. Not surprisingly, there is an increasing demand for online marketing professionals, which in turn has given way to online education markets, including online marketing classes and degree programs for e-learning and campus-based programs.

A significant number of new jobs are expected to be created by the thriving online advertising market. However, these positions will require skills and experience beyond basic marketing know-how and individuals will also need knowledge of self-publishing, online transactions and direct customer interactions. A variety of on online colleges currently offer degrees in e-business and online marketing that can be obtained at your own pace and, of course, many traditional, or offline', colleges and universities offer Internet marketing courses as well.
