Internet Marketing for Small Business

One of the coolest things about marketing in the 2000's is that even the tiniest of businesses can compete for business internationally.

A level playing field

The Internet has leveled the playing field in a manner of speaking. Because all businesses, regardless of their size or location, have the same opportunity to create a web presence and market online.

Easy on your budget

And, because it doesn't take a huge budget it's a great marketing strategy for small business owners and solo-professionals with very little to spend on marketing.

In fact, it's one of the most effective and economical marketing strategies you can use.

Are you making the most of the Internet to market your business?

Here are 10 easy ways to market your services online and generate tons of new clients for your business.

(1) Create a website

(2) Optimize that website for your keywords

(3) Publish an ezine or e-newsletter

(4) Write and post articles on article directories

(5) Use pay-per-click advertising, like Google Adwords

(6) Use autoresponders

(7) Publish an e-course or special report

(8) Create and sell information products

(9) Create a blog

(10) Start podcasting

You don't have to do all 10

If you can add even a couple of these strategies to your marketing plan you could immediately start generating more clients for your business, for a whole lot less than you might think.

Because Internet marketing is not only a very cost-effective way to market your business, it also yields immediate results. So you'll know right away if it's working or not. That alone can save you a bundle.

Low maintenance marketing

And the best part is, once you get things up and running, it takes very little maintenance and it begins to take on a life of its own. Pretty soon your little business has a great big web presence.

Perhaps you have a website but that's the extent of your presence online. If that's the case I encourage you to learn more about some of these other online marketing avenues and start using them to grow your business.
