Guest post by: Karen Newman

Article Overview: With all online marketing tools at your disposal, you will likely find many that will fit your needs. By utilizing the most established and relevant resources, your business will profit from these low cost marketing strategies.

Taking Advantage of Online Marketing Tools

The Internet Revolution has given rise to a plethora of online marketing tools. However, otherwise savvy and accomplished Internet marketers have overlooked many of these useful tools. It is essential for entrepreneurs to take advantage of the resources available to them in order to expand and elevate their level of business. Online marketing tools cannot only increase awareness of your company; they can also directly assist you to make a sizable return on your investment.

Facebook and Twitter

In the realm of social media, it would be easy to focus on Facebook and Twitter alone. Indeed both of these sites are incredibly popular and continue to grow on a daily basis. Some of the best things about Facebook and Twitter are that they give you the ability to reach large volumes of people and target specific demographics. Additionally, these social media marketing tools are free and very easy to use. There are many other fantastic options available to Internet entrepreneurs as well.

LinkedIn

A good example of a site that is often overlooked by marketers is LinkedIn. LinkedIn is remarkable in that it allows you to interact with some of the world's top business circles. Further, LinkedIn allows users to promote themselves and even their products to people, including executives, in a very professional environment. The climate for LinkedIn is usually far more "business-like" than that on other social networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. Thus, for those looking to market to established executives, LinkedIn is worth a look.

Social Networking

The number of free social networking sites on the Internet that can be used to promote your business, products or services is truly staggering. One important fact to keep in mind is that because social networking is so very popular, many sites have popped up recently that cater to specific interest groups or niche markets. For example, there are social networking sites just for pet owners, wine enthusiasts and baby boomers. The list goes on and on. If you have a product or service that you know would appeal to a particular group, then it makes great sense to have a presence on the corresponding social media site. This way, you can market directly and specifically to the individuals who are most likely to be interested in what you have to offer.

With all the exciting online marketing tools at your disposal, you will likely find many that will fit your needs. By utilizing the most established and relevant resources, your business will profit from these low cost marketing strategies.

Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - [quote:31qpen1j]This is just my opinion, but I consider the prospective categories, Online Marketing, Internet Marketing and Online Promotion, as being pretty much one and the same - just different words that different people use.[/quote:31qpen1j] I completely agree! Those are all just "internet marketing" as far as I am concerned. And I normally would have voted for internet marketing, however I chose social media marketing simply because there are more than enough IM forums out there already.
