Marketing as in the old days was done by putting an ad either in a newspaper, magazine, radio ad or television. Variations of this evolved with billboards, yellow page ads, benefit drives, charity balls, sports sponsorships ad infinitum. In this day and age businesses that want to sell something in the market need a website. This is the fastest growing, easiest to do, least expensive part of a marketing program. Once you have determined your market and know what you have to offer to your market you must then do a complete search on the internet of your competition. When you have pinpointed your areas of the market you can proceed with the website design. Creating a domain name, for your URL, involves deciding on a short, catchy phrase that hopefully contains the main keyword(s) of your customers' internet searches for your products or services. You should also make sure the name has not been taken by any other website owner. Your website will also need product or service information presented in an esthetic way. Online ordering of your products should be done preferably by an electronic, online ordering system. Design of the website can be done quickly and cheaply or it can take a long time and cost a fortune. The reasons for this are based on the size, complexity and look of the website. Cost and time is also involved in keeping your website in the SEO game. Promoting is also time consuming and it can be expensive too. Promotion should be done in all the traditional ways - by adding your website address to business cards, stationery, any signs, billboards, auto or truck signs, radio, television, newspaper or magazine ads. Promotion should also be done online as much as possible because it is potentially less expensive than other methods, and possibly more effective. This can be done by getting your website to appear in SERPs (Search Engine Report Pages) so that your website is displayed often and near the top of the listing pages. You can also promote your website by putting your ads or banners on websites whose viewers fit the demographics of your buyers. These ads need not be expensive nor of long duration. You may request a more permanent link to you website by link exchange of by some other reciprocal arrangement. You can also publish an article in your field with a link to your website. These are the basic ways to get started with Online Internet Marketing. Arthur Browning
