Internet marketing is not a singular approach to raising interest and awareness in a product. Because of the vast number of platforms the Internet creates, the field encompasses several disciplines. It involves everything from email, to Search Engine Optimization (SEO), to website design, and much more to reach an ever-evolving, ever-growing audience. However, tens of billions of dollars are spent every single year marketing on the Internet.  Since then, the amount of money going into online marketing has only grown and the profits resulting from it have increased commensurately. For those interested in a job in the field of marketing, a thorough understanding of how marketing on the Internet works is a vital aspect to get customers free on social media.

The Internet Marketing Tree

Sure, free sound a bit cheap but when it comes to the Internet, free opportunities to promote your business are vastly available and the return on investment  would be soared!

There are many ways to market your business online through social media for free, here are some:

1.   Get Facebook Fans – Facebook is a great way to get started with social media (if you are B2C), as there is a good chance your readers, clients and customers are have a Facebook account. Just set up a Facebook Fan Page and those connections will start to grow. One fan spreads the word to their 200 friends on Facebook and some may become fans of your product, business or service as well. Then those new fans tells their friends and so on. As long as you continue to keep up to date on the content of your Facebook Fan Page with links to blog posts and other creative content, that following will grow and you will have begun to build a true relationship with your customers and clients.

2.   Write a Blog – Even if you are not a writer, there is usually one person within a company that can write at least 500 words once a week to communicate with people online about your business. Blog posts are an easy means by which to convey new products, services or events that your company wants to highlight to their consumers. Give your clients simple tips, share a funny company store or announce a contest. The key is to engage the customers and have them return often to see what’s new.

3.   Connect at Conferences – Although there are a number of very expensive conferences and expos around the world, there are many free or inexpensive networking events in your own town. Check out sites such as EventBrite.com,Meetup.com and Bayt Events for events in your neighborhood and make sure to sign up for future event notifications as well.

4.   Get Creative with Video – There’s a good chance your phone or computer came with a video camera built in. Using video to go viral about events you attend or company promotional updates is a great way to get the community involved. Post your videos on your website, blog, YouTube, Flickr, Ning, Vimeo and others to gain more exposure for free.

5.   Get Bayt – Yes, Bayt is for making business connections but many companies do not realize the potential to share company information as well. Fill out the company profile section for your company with keywords and targeted data, add company events to Bayt's Events and create a Bayt Group to connect with relevant business contacts to further share data and spread company awareness.

Marketing products on the Internet costs less than marketing them through a physical retail outlet. You do not have the recurring costs of property rental and maintenance. You do not have to purchase stock for display in a store. You can order stock in line with demand, keeping your inventory costs low.

Internet marketing is also much more quantitative than traditional marketing ever could be. Many Internet marketing channels yield detailed data that allows you to optimize online campaigns on the fly. This data also allows you to launch new campaigns on a strong foundation of established data, which greatly improves your chances of success.
