The Amero: Be Aware

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

So it’s been awhile since I updated. This is partly due to the holidays coming in two back-to-back months. I’m sure everyone out there has similar things happening. :)
Anyway, this is about something that you would think would be a hot topic of discussion but is not. It’s in regard to the Amero. At the basic level the Amero would be a combined currency between the US, Mexico, and Canada. It is already happening and there was even an CNBC broadcast where it was discussed:

One radio broadcaster, surely to be future conspiracy theorist and assumed crackpot, has pictures and video of what this coin looks like. Interesting read, even for you types who think the government is honest with you. You can read that here. While it’s more public domain at this point, the Amero isn’t supposed to exist yet, at all.

That’s a side issue though. As I suspect most, if not all of my readers are US resident and marketers themselves an important question needs to be asked. What does this mean and why should I care?

With a coin already being Minted and it’s plans slowly trickling into the mainstream, combined with the decline of the US Dollar it should be clear to some there is at least two points there. While two points do not make a line they should raise an eyebrow. For the Amero to come into existence our Dollar would have to be taken out of circulation. If you run it’s value into the ground no one will argue when this proposed change to the Amero happens.

I’m still undecided if this new Minting is a good or bad idea, but I do know the way the government is going about it is wrong. It’s using the simple outline of creating a problem then offering the solution. We often deal with different parts of this equation in affiliate marketing and our own marketing, but we never create the problem first so that our customers have to come us to fix it. This is my problem with the Amero and the loss of value of the American Dollar.

Obviously, this is neither here nor there in regards to internet marketing, but since it deals exactly with the currency we do business in it should matter to us. With the “official” debut of the Amero many could be bankrupt overnight, just as others will become rich overnight from the currency change.

My heart hasn’t been in Internet Marketing for awhile since I’ve been trying to figure out how to best deal with the soon-to-be inevidable change-over. This post has you in the mind, the marketer, and maybe together we can do something to get out of this the same, or better, than we are now.

Lately, sine it’s not a hot topic yet and I think it should be, let other people know. Show them this, have them Google “Amero”, whatever. We can’t change what we don’t know about.
