Your Questions About Internet Marketing Degree
Maria asks…
What do I need to create an educational online market place?
How Can I start an Internet service that hosts ,market, and sell online courses for students/clients and instructors.
It will not be an “accredited school and will not offer degrees or degree programs. It will be strictly virtual classrooms ,
Experts at something can come on the site and register and teach others what they know for a small fee. What type of software or hosting program will I need to accomplish something like this. I will like the students to log in and find all of their such as their lesson plan, they can update their preferences and so on.

Take a look at what the Virtual Homeschool Group is doing. The website is at http://www.virtualhomeschoolgroup.com/.
They are using Moodle as their LMS (learner management system). You can access information about how to get Moodle for your own site at http://moodle.org/. The Visrtual Homeschool Group also uses live, online classrooms from Elluminate. You can try out Elluminate’s free 3-seater classroom by signing up for it at http://www.elluminate.com/vroom/. Live, online training for both of these platforms is available at the VHSG too. I hisghly recommend joining the VHSG Ning social group. It was just set up this week so not many members are yet on, but it is an easy place to start getting to know the people that know and ask your questions. You can access the VHSG Ning group by clicking on the link on the right sidebar on the VHSG homepage. It is a friendly group, you will learn a lot there.

Sandra asks…
Do you have to be innovative for a marketing degree?
I want to learn more about marketing and perhaps even go on to specialise in marketing. What I’m wondering is is innovation a key quality for this kind of degree? Do you have to create a new brand or anything within the course? also, what jobs are available after a degree in business and marketing?
Jere answers:
Innovation is the creation of better or more effective products, processes, services, technologies, or ideas that are accepted by markets, governments, and society. Innovation refers to the use of a new idea or method therefore it involves marketing. For example using a new idea of advertising to get people to buy the new product. Therefore marketing involves some innovation.
Communications, strategy planning and research are also essential steps in marketing any brand or service. This leaves a number of career paths open for an individual with a college degree in marketing.
Research
Most marketing strategies are based on concrete research and analysis of historical results. Available career paths are market research or analyst. Many companies outsource some or all their analysts from other companies that supply research data.
Sales
A marketing degree is solid preparation for a job in sales or other sales-support functions such as category management, trade (or field) marketing, or positions that plan or execute promotions and events.
Marketing
Marketing managers’ job responsibilities vary depending on the industry (brand/product marketing, Internet marketing, nonprofit marketing). Other positions available are creative positions w/ advertising, media agency, public relations or communications.
Compensation
Any supporting role (research, analysis, category management, public relations) tends to have a lower salary than a marketing manager or sales manager position. Salary for a sales position most often relies in large or small part on bonuses/ commissions.
Expert Insight
Marketing manager positions in large companies will seek out those with a marketing degree and past experience. To get the experience, consider volunteer work with nonprofit agencies, internships or lower-paid analyst positions.
Donald asks…
What kind of degree do i need to be a professional fashion photographer?
I need to know what kind of degree i should be working towards in order to get the highest pay of fashion photography.
Jere answers:
You do not need to go to formal school to become a photographer but you have to learn it from somewhere be it from a class room environment or from you reading and doing things on your own. Some people require the hands-on of a teacher to gain knowledge and others can understand by just reading a book so choose which would be better for you.
Depending how good you are at shooting and marketing your images will depend on your income. You can starve one year and be feasting the next.
1. You should learn the technical aspects of photography and your camera (composition, shutter speed, rules of thirds, depth of field etc), once you understand these you will be able to create better images.
2. Shoot in “M” (manual mode) because you will have more control over your camera and not the other way around. When you are in one of the “Auto” modes the camera will just read the highlights and shadow areas and try to get you a picture. The camera is not smart enough to know what you are shooting.
3. You can start reading all kinds of books on this subject and get information from the internet. This includes web based classes, manufactures web sites to personal blogs.
4. Buy the best professional DSLR camera that you can afford this also includes good lenses. Take out your camera and manual sit down and go over all the buttons and knobs etc.. This is the best way for you to learn what your camera can do.
5. Start shooting with your camera to get practice and from what you are learning from reading and doing you will get better. Practice does make perfect. Take notes while shooting and then look at your photos on the computer find the best one from that set and see what you did to get the shot and why you like it more than the others.
6. You can get yourself a job as a photographers assistant (be it payed or free) and learn from that person.
7. A good portfolio (website) will speak for itself. Just make your portfolio fit to the people you are presenting it to. Example: If showing to a bride for a wedding, remove landscapes and corporate images they just want to see wedding images only and your style. If you have a website do the same and tailor it towards your clientele and leave the “fluff” images out.
Hope this helps,
Kevin
