The latest and greatest Internet marketing strategy is promoting to Web 2.
0 sites.
These include sites like Myspace, Facebook, YouTube etc.
These are sites that directly involve a community of people that visit these sites for the purpose of communication, entertainment or business.
Taking advantage of a huge gathering of people to sell your product or service to is what marketing is all about.
Large groups of people with an open ear to hear your sales pitch is why TV commercials work so well.
Of course you have to know your demographic and give them what they are interested in.
For instance, trying to sell Rogaine to an 18 year old boy with a full head of hair would not be a good marketing decision.
However, putting the latest video game in front of that same 18 year old will most likely get his attention.
The same rule applies to every aspect of marketing including Web 2.
0 marketing so remember this when planning your strategy.
The best way to get started is simply by signing up to these sites and creating an account.
Put effort into building up your profile if it is a site like Myspace.
Adding blog posts, daily bulletins and adding pictures will increase your exposure within community sites.
Also, searching for people on the same network with similar interests and adding them as friends will greatly increase your success.
For video sharing sites such as YouTube, you must of course add videos.
Just like blog posts and pictures are your content on other sites, videos are your content on video sharing sites.
The great thing about videos is that they usually grab someone's attention longer than a page of text.
For instance I know marketers who read off their blog or articles and record them on video.
That video, even though it's the same content as the blog post, will convert a lot better.
Using these types of sites in your business can greatly benefit your income.
Once everything is setup, these methods require little time and maintenance.
Usually with just a few minutes per day will continue to increase your exposure to your market and bring in sales.
Understanding these methods in depth is essential.
Search the Internet for information on marketing to these types of sites.
Most of the information is vague but with a little trial and error you can find your way.
Another possibility is to find a step-by-step plan on the subject and follow what has already worked for someone else.
These types of "blueprints" are available with a simple Google search.
