New Marketing Trends for 2007 These predictions have been in the wind for a couple of years now and the reality is starting to hit. The new online movement is to lead with inspiration, not money. These communities that inspire prosperity are going to be all the rage in the near future. People are getting fed up with being demoralized by corporate America. Things like the drug companies, Enron, World Com, and the fleecing of Americans by the government is disturbing many people. The new word in marketing is an old concept, Network!! Trust and integrity will produce a network that will work for the good of all. This is too powerful to ignore and will produce profits greater than ever before. The commodity is everyone’s individual network that is the bottom line. Personal networks have become “bank”, this is the new economy. Gather your intangibles and hold on to them. Things like your reputation, your word, helping people with out asking for reimbursement, and performing like the good old days on just a “hand shake”. These things will be worth more than money. But will in turn cause money to roll your way like never before with less effort. Integrity will sell whatever your product is. I call it the underground honesty movement. Brad West onomoney
