Useful Internet Marketing Tools On The Cheap: AddThis
Making money online is all about generating leads - and you don't get leads without directing traffic to your site. Advertising is one sure way to draw visitors to your web site - but you do have to pay for those clicks, don't you? Word of mouth is free, but how do you generate that online?
Make It Easy To Share Your Content
AddThis is a free application that allows entrepreneurs to generate that word of mouth advertising, and it should be included in the Internet marketing arsenal of any entrepreneur running a business from home. By inserting a bit of HTML and JavaScript code onto your web pages, you give your visitors a quick and easy way to bookmark or share your content with quite a number of social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter. The code generates a button on the web page that, when clicked, presents the viewer with a long list of over 50 social networking applications from which to choose. Select your favorite and you're connected with that site immediately.
For instance, if you want to share this article on Twitter you simply click the AddThis button and choose Twitter from the list. It automatically takes you to your Twitter home page and even fills in the message box for you. All you have to do is click "update" to share with all your Twitter followers. You can choose to use one of the many default button styles or totally customize it via API or the new Toolbox function.
Track The Analytics
In and of itself, this is fantastic - but the news gets even better. You may also sign up to receive free analytics generated when viewers share your content. So, not only are you getting valuable word of mouth exposure, you can also see the top sharing trends, top content shared, top services used, and geographic details about the viewers who share your content. And you can also export this analytics data to Excel or a tab delimited file.
So, if you're looking for an easy and cheap way to generate more leads, give AddThis a try.

Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category?
- Hi Kevin,
Like GT suggested, I also think you can add Internet Marketing as a sub category in the Marketing section and also a Social marketing as subcategory.
Online marketing/internet marketing/online promotion are the same, and it will be best to use the common term - Internet marketing.
I can't think about someone to moderate a Social Marketing category. We all use it, we all know how to make it work and we all have our own different experience with it.

a friend of mine in BC plans on holding Internet Marketing Conferences on SecondLife and have the same top internet marketers that would normally be in Live Internet Marketing conference speak.
Income will be generated from admission charges, product sales during breaks, sponsor tables, etc etc..
Just to get the ideas flowing in your head that anything you can do in the real world can be replicated in SL.
There is no planned date as of yet for this conference.
Re: Hi from a Manhattan coach
- Hi Julie,
Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you here and thank you for telling us a little about yourself. You sound like a very enthusiastic person who likes what she does and in Internet Marketing that is very important and you also sound like a 'people person' which is great.
Internet Marketing is time consuming and challenging but can also be extremely rewarding and hopefully profitable. I don't know how many forums you have signed up to but this is one of the best. The support and guidance you get here is what makes it the success that it is but as I am sure you know from looking at the side bar that there are many aspects of business that are catered for here which will help you along the way,
best wishes,
Mal.
Re: How many mambers of this forum are also member of WF?
- Hi Kevin,
I have to agree with Tanny. All forums are unique in their own way, but doesn't mean that one is better than the other. What you might get out of one forum, you may not get from another. For instance, the WF focuses on Internet Marketing, while this forum focuses on Entrepreneurship. Each has their own set of benefits. I don't think you can really compare one to the other, unless of course they focused on the same topic. I have learned a lot from this forum, stuff I would never have gotten from the WF. With that being said, I've learned a lot from the WF, specifically since I need to know about Internet Marketing and running an online business. The addition of the Online Business forum here will help, and Jeff is doing a great job as moderator.
