The number of ways that you can promote your business through online marketing is constantly growing. It is now accepted that you need an online presence in order to market your business. I was asked to speak about this at a recent FSB IT event in Reading, so I thought I?d share with you a summary of the session. (The full PowerPoint presentation is available from the Free Stuff page of my website, if you?d like a copy.)
So What Online Marketing Can You Do?

Summary
The number of online marketing tools is on the increase. If you try to do everything, you?ll end up spending all your time online ? leaving no time to do your actual job; or you?ll spend all your money on online marketing with nothing left for old fashioned off line marketing.
Remember these three things ? quality not quantity; integrate it and keep doing it.
