For most Internet start-up businesses, there isn’t a lot of extra cash lying around to spend on marketing. Luckily, there are many ways entrepreneurs themselves can promote their products and companies online without dropping lots of dollars.

Facebook:            Create a Facebook profile for your company then develop a Fan Page for each of your products.

Twitter:            Update followers on the latest news at your company or provide helpful tips and hints, 140 characters at a time.

You Tube:            Like having your very own TV station, You Tube lets you post your own informational or instructional videos online.

Linked In:            Stay connected to business contacts and clients and make new ones in your industry.

Newsletters:             Keep your client base updated on your business and product offerings while keeping your name and company on their radar.

Blogs:            With regular blog postings you can develop an online community centered on your company’s industry while updating readers on your offerings and products.

Articles:             Establish your expertise in your area by writing and submitting articles to online websites that promote your industry.

Take advantage of all that the Internet has to offer. From social media communities to a customized blog for your company, there are tons of ways you can freely promote and market your products to old and new clients alike!
