TV had magic beans for forty years. For forty years, anyone, even acomplete moron, could make a lot of money using TV ads. Buy enoughads, dont screw up, youre rich...On the web, there are countless marketers just standing around waitingfor someone to hand them the magic beans. And thats the problem.Marketing online takes too much measurement, patience, creativity,technical knowledge, ﬂexibility, speed and authenticity. It requires toomuch thinking and not enough going out for dinner with clients.Perhaps there will never be magic beans again. Perhaps marketing isabout to transition to a new kind of profession, one that requiresinsight, dedication and smarts.Or maybe someone will ﬁnd some magic beans. -Seth Godin

There areno magic beans.
