Before this digital era, marketing was one of the most difficult areas of a business. Promoting the business required humongous efforts, substantial finances and reaped unpredictable results.
In these times, the advent of the various digital tools and the internet were a blessing. The internet provided a huge variety of easy to use platforms and tools for marketing – all at little or no cost – with measurable results.
The extensive reach of the internet, coupled with its inexpensive nature, has made it the most common way of promoting businesses, big and small, worldwide.
Here are some of the top most effective ways of promoting your business on the internet:
Launching your Website:
You should create a website that is reflective of your brand image and stands as the hub platform for all other marketing campaigns. The website should be relevant to your business and of value to customers and should have good aesthetics and an easy navigational structure. These things will ensure that you receive good traffic, the bounce rate is low and the conversion rate is high.
SEO
Once you have created the website, put all your efforts in making the website SEO friendly. In simple words, employ those strategies for your website that are preferred by the search engines and will gain it high rankings at the SERPs. You can use our blogs and other online guides to help you prime your website’s performance for the search engines.
Social Media Networks
Using social media networks is one of the most effective ways of promoting businesses. These platforms allow you to stay connected with your customers, build healthy rapport with them and market your products easily and effectively.
You should have a presence on all major social media networks including Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube. Moreover, you should connect all these networks to each other and to your main website.
This will help you not only manage all of them together with minimum efforts but also help you expand your networks on each of the networks.
Blogging:
Blogging is yet another effective way of promoting your business. Blogging about your sector and industry helps you establish yourself as the expert and gain recognition. You can also use blogs to communicate with your followers, potential customers and existing clients.
Make sure that you post interesting, relevant, creative and informative content on your blog, something that not only visitors would like to read, but also, would love to share it with their followers. Also, remember to connect your blog to your main website and all social media profiles. This helps the user keep updated about your new blog posts and allows them to share your content with others easily.
Online Communities, Forums & Events
There are a huge number of communities and forums online at websites and on social media networks. Become a part of the ones that are most relevant to your business and expand your network.
You can use these platforms to introduce yourself and your business, meet new clients, promote your business, see how competition is doing and establish yourself as a person rather than just an entity. You should also take part in events that are taking place online.
This is like the virtual version of socializing at conferences, parties and launch events in the offline world. It is an excellent way to meet new people, include them in your network, and introduce yourself to others.
Whichever way you deploy to promote your business online, remember that whatever you post online stays online forever. There is always a discussion or an archive, somewhere on the internet, for what you have posted.
This is why you should practice great caution while marketing online. The smallest of the mistakes can haunt your business forever. Moreover, due to the extensive reach of the internet, each mistake gets scrutinized closely too.
For example, a single negative review can bring down all your efforts that you out in marketing online. Therefore, be careful about how you portray yourself online, how you interact with the online world and how your business is perceived at the virtual end.
Promote your business online and grab the great advantage over your competitors by taking it to your prospects and clients effectively with low budget and minimum efforts.

Great post Ajit! I think you added great value to this article by mentioning the importance of joining communities. I wanted to expand on your comment of joining relevant communities…for some who may not know, this would include those where your target customer or client would be (so you can offer help or advice), not just those that target your industry.
Thank you for also warning about being cautious about what you put out there… Many people don’t mention this in their blogs because they think it is common sense. However, there are so many people just getting started that is important to remember that they need advice also.
Thank you for sharing!
