The first thing to remember is that the internet is vast and ever changing, so you will need to understand the need for constant updating, this is not too dis-similar to an offline business. A certain amount of effort is needed to help any kind of business grow and flourish.
One of the best and free online marketing tips out there is blogging. This is free to do on many sites out there, and it gets your word out into the world.
When writing a blog it is important to keep it simple. If you were to drone on about complete crap, the reader would become more easily bored, leading to a drop in customer interest.
Use key words in your blog often, imagine it were you, searching for your product or service online. What would you 'Google.' Repeat these words often enough within your blog for the search engine to find.
Having a website would be one of the best online marketing tips I could give, and, if you have one, remember to enter it in when registering for your blogging site. This will link your blog to your website, allowing the reader to visit your site when they like your blog.
There are many sites out there offering cheap, if not free, website building and hosting. They offer easy build templates, so even the most inexperienced computer user could build and host a simple site.
Social networking sites are another one of the online marketing tips I have. Browse for as many 'friends' as you can and let them know what you do, friends tell friends and so on until you have loads of people who know who you are and what you do.
This can lead on to another one of the great online marketing tips, affiliation. This is a process where you approach other internet users, who you can offer to promote, on the condition that they promote you. As you can imagine the more affiliates you have the more promotion you get.
If you enjoy writing a lot why not try scribing an e-book and offer it for free. Everybody loves to get something for free, let them know they are free to pass it around. Within your e-book have links and references to your website or blog.
This also works with article writing, register with a free site and get your voice out there in article form. The key, as I have said is be constant with your marketing, the internet is ever changing and so must you be.
