The Internet has provided us with many marvelous advantages in international marketing, from the speed and convenience of email to the ease and economy of product downloading.
Yet these wonders pale by comparison when you realize the sheer volume of Gurus that have inhabited the Web.
As a young boy growing up in Ohio I was impressed by the rarity of those mystics who, with one utterance, could place in a nutshell all worldly knowledge.
On the other hand, there had always existed plenty of "experts."
In olden days folks were forced to rely on the now outdated, 'expert' for knowledge and virtuosity, for when it comes to Internet marketing there are few experts, only Gurus.
You remember what an 'expert' is, don't you!
Well, as a distinguished Chinese gentleman named Charlie Chan, once said, "An expert is a person who provides quick answers that are sometimes correct."
While, as Charlie says, an 'expert' may only from time to time, correctly assume a fact, a Guru never ever suffers from this fallacy.
You see, the only quality the 'expert' lacks is perfection, otherwise he would be a Internet Guru!
There is one other distinguishing characteristic you'll notice when sorting out a Guru from an 'expert'. An 'expert' is either, self designated or quickly proclaims the title, while a Guru leaves that function to his associates.
As a lad I was just naive enough to believe that the world only offered us one or two true Gurus.
Naturally, I had heard of the mysterious Dalai Lama with his universal wisdom, and maybe about a couple of odd characters who were hanging out in Tibet, but that was it.
I truly believed that these few individuals summed up the entire Guru
population. Then I discovered the Internet. What a revelation!
When it comes to Internet marketing, the supply of Gurus gives the
impression of being endless. Every day I read of several new Gurus who have recently startled the Internet community by unearthing the 'real' secrets of marketing success.
Thankfully, these Gurus are graciously releasing their deep dark secrets of Internet prowess, even though it may be for a limited time only, and at a compensation said to be ridiculously low for a Guru of their obvious stature.
The economy of the Internet is amazing, even Gurus mark down their wisdom!
For awhile, I feared that once these 'secrets' were released our favorite Gurus would quickly pack up and take their meditation elsewhere.
But not to worry, as new hidden secrets of Internet marketing are needed, more and more Gurus appear to permeate the Web, thus eliminating any major concern of a shortage.
I often ponder, can this abundance of Gurus last, is there a University somewhere that grinds them out, a sort of Guru U!
Perhaps, we ought to just count our blessings and gleam as much as we can from these modern day wonders of the cosmos.
After all, shouldn't we be content that there are helpful Gurus everywhere on the Web, with or without a toga.
They seem to be everywhere these days. In fact, while shaving this morning, I could swear I spotted a Guru in my own bathroom mirror!
