None of those are "skills", they are just things that every wannabee marketer thinks they need to do. (usually not very well)

The skills a real marketer needs are:

The ability to reach people and communicate with them.
Blogging, forums and "social media" are a way to communicate BUT you have to know how to communicate properly.

Be able to analyse a marketplace and match products and potential customers

Be able to analyse good traffic sources and utilise them

If you know how to get the people's interest then you will be a good marketer.

Bit of a sweeping statement there.

David Beckham can get people's interest, doesn't mean he can market light bulbs though.

As for me, I would think the following are important skills needed for any marketers:

(1) Ability to leverage on other people resources / skills (i.e. outsource)
(2) Ability to sell and brand ourselves
(3) Ability to provide high level of customer satisfaction

In your scenario, wouldn't 2 and 3 really be dependant on how the "other people" in point1 performed????

Yes, you are right! (if you know how to outsource to the correct people /team to manage).

Ultimately, we have to ask ourselves one simple question "Are we going to create another "job" for ourselves or to run a business?"

It doesn't matter what online business you have, you could be an affiliate, a blogger or write for money.

Patience - stick with a strategy at least a month. A site is indexed in 4- 14 days and you cannot make crawlers move faster than Google allows them

Quality - stay away from spamming and the strategies involving spreading a huge number of links in a small amount of time. 3 links posted the right way get you more unique visitors and quantified sales than 3000 links of which 50% get spam allerts.

Research - it would be amazing if all of us could be original. In the absence of brilliance the information ( the right one) can prove to be a mighty accurate tool.

A good business sense, not everybody is business orientated, there are a lot of factors to running a business online or offline. The next thing would be to offer a service or product which people would be interested in.
