September eTips: Marketing with a Buget - 4 Tips for Free Web Marketing Techniques Print E-mail

There are a lot of marketing resources on the web that businesses can use to increase visibility. You can use the free tools from Flickr, del.icio.us or YouTube to embed images, tags, and videos on your web pages. You can create profiles on LinkedIn, MySpace or Facebook that allow for online networking and alternative methods for reaching your audiences.

 

What are some of the "things" you can do on these sites?

 

Tip 1: Create a profile (or two!). On MySpace, Facebook, etc… join in the local online groups that relate to your interests or your market.

Tip 2: Create your own groups. Create a new group that will draw individuals facing common issues (avoid commercialization).

Tip 3: Recruit online. List products or job openings in the marketplace sections of these social networking sites.

Tip 4: Post interesting "graphical" elements. Create viral videos to create "buzz". Post photos that show something extraordinary or exceptional that demonstrates your strengths or highlights something funny or interesting!
