Whether you own an online business or just want to promote your own website or blog, marketing is a must in order to succeed online. Marketing goes beyond simply sending traffic to your website; it’s all encompassing down to branding and authority.

♦♦ 1: Produce great content ♦♦


First and foremost, great content is what will be the single biggest factor that will get your website or business recognized online.

♦♦ 2: Connect with people on social media ♦♦


Social media doesn’t have to end at the thought of Twitter and Facebook; blogging, forums, chat rooms and many other platforms can all be lumped into the mix. People share information in a variety of ways online; connect with those that you find influential and share your own content while simultaneously promoting theirs – this builds a great friendship that expand into great opportunities later on.


Additionally, you could also build traffic, authority and recognition to your website by taking the same idea of content from the previous section and sharing it on the platforms that those other internet users frequent.


♦♦ 3: Build partnerships ♦♦


As mentioned in the previous method, connecting with others to form friendships is a quick and easy way to get started with internet marketing for free. To take your friendships a step further, you should begin networking with them on larger-scale projects that can be (but not limited to): list-building, product launches, website creation – it’s very much like treating the friendship like a business relationship; you’ll be able to command large chunks of traffic and market online like no tomorrow.
