For the beginner, online marketing can be confusing, frustrating, and expensive. Make sure to read the first two parts of this article if you have not already done so. The newbie interested in online marketing needs to make a choice between marketing his or her own product or someone else's product. If you already have a product to market then skip to Step 3. The other choice for online marketing is to become an affiliate. What is affiliate marketing? An affiliate is someone who sells another’s product and earns commission if that product sells. You should not need to pay a membership fee to become an affiliate. Many “type-at-home” programs are actually affiliate marketing. Start with Step 1 if this describes your interest. There are plenty of articles, blogs, and forums to help the beginner also and I encourage you to reference this material. The following are tips 10 - 12.

Step 10. Start marketing your site.

A) List ads on free classified sites. You can either advertise just your product or your website/blog as a whole. Do not be disappointed if you are not making a lot of sales this way. Make sure you include your email address and URL in the ad.

B) Participate in three or four forums on a regular basis that are in the same interest as your product. In a forum, list your web address in your signature. Do not advertise your product in the forum post.

C) Make posters or brochures for your website or blog and post on community bulletin boards in your town. Make sure you are allowed to post business advertisements first.

D) Write articles and submit press releases about your topic of interest. Make sure to include your web address in the author’s bio section. Articles should not advertise a product, just provide information about your interest. Article length should be between 400 – 600 words. If you write a long article, consider breaking it into two parts.

E) You can pay for advertising with sites like Google, Yahoo, and MSN. This is called pay-per-click. Your ad will run when someone uses a search engine to look for a certain keyword. If a keyword you have associated with your ad is selected, then your ad will appear on the search listings page. You only pay for the ad to appear if someone clicks. This can be costly as different keywords are different prices. The more your ad is clicked on, the more it will run.

F) You can also pay for classifies in your local newspapers. Run your ad daily for best results. Running ads daily appear to be more credible to the reader. However, for any type of paid advertising to work you need to be able to write good ad copy.
