A great tip that is very overlooked to get your website and business out there on the big, bad web -- submit your website directly to search engines.
A lot of marketers think just because they blog about a website or make a myspace page referencing it that they will get a ton of traffic because they are doing other things to point towards their site. Not always the case, my friends. Sometimes backlinks get lost in translation. For example, with myspace, redirecting someone to a link for your webpage is a 2 step process where myspace converts all links to a myspace (msplink) caution before you can click through. Not the most direct method in free traffic flow to your business site.
Submitting your website directly to Google or Yahoo Directory
or Yellow Pages gets your website directly to all of the search engines. Of course, definately keep up the backlinking and link posting as much as possible, because it definately improves search engine ratings. Submitting your business website to multiple search engines puts your direct website into search results, rather than links that eventually get website wanderers there. And there are a TON of directories out there that url submissions are free or very cheap. Think Google, Yellow Pages, MSN, Y!Directories, Submit Express, AddMe, local business directories, etc. Get a good list going of where you want to submit your website to, and dedicate an hour or 2 to submittals. An easy workday thats well worth it!
Just another tip to make everyone's life easier ... food for thought :-)

Keeping Your Social Media Centralized
I find that with so many different socail networking, social bookmarking, social comment software, general networking and communication, and Web 2.0 type sites, pages, and memberships out there - staying centralized and focused when attempting many of these marketing methods is sometimes problematic. There is just SO MUCH out there for you to connect with others, and spread the word about what you are doing/selling/marketing that sometimes I find it difficult to keep up with. Needless to say, I am always on the lookout for new methods to make my life easier!!
One particular method that aggregates a decent amount of social and sharing sites is FriendFeed. Other similar sites definately exists, each of them on different levels. For example, Digsby combines a bunch of social media and chatting capabilities into one location. FriendFeed is similar in that it combines social media and other Web 2.0 applications into one membership - but it also gives it all a singular profile and feed, and updates changes in any account in a Real Time application manner using each websites feed. Very convenient - a must check out.
FriendFeed website - http://www.friendfeed.com (no brainer, right?)

Back into the Marketing Game :-)
After taking a brief haitus to move into a new space to accomodate our business, Mark and I are back in full effect :-)
My Internet Business is doing exceptionally well, and we have also expanded into an incredible cash gifting program -- both of which have been extremely beneficial to us and our team members! And always, if you have any questions about either program we concentrate on, feel free to visit our My Internet Business Website, our Gifting Website or contact us directly (our phone number is available on either website).
On a general note, there are some great new tips I will be updating my blog with for all of our fellow internet marketers out there. We have been continually searching for new and innovative methods of marketing to keep ahead of the curve, as always :-)
Within article marketing, a great tip to check out is a free program called JetSpinner. This program takes each article you write and spins the content phrase by phrase (a little tricky to get at first, but once you do it a few times, it's VERY helpful). This allows the same article to be recognized by search engines as original content when submitting articles to multiple article submission sites. Very handy indeed. In turn, this increases the search engine rating of your articles, and thereby increases traffic through each "original" article and its backlinking.
A couple links for this:
www.jetsubmitter.com
www.spontent.com/spinner
www.articlepromoter.com/z/jetspinner
All these links take you to the same place to get the same software :-) And it is FREE, so get it while it still is!

Happy Marketing!

Kyte channels
This is a great tool to stream photos, informational videos, promotional material, business information, etc. Create your own Kyte channel, then add your content to continually broadcast on your original channel. This can be done in a variety of different ways, and can be added as an application to your facebook page, myspace page, website, blog, squidoo lens, and more. This multi-use application is therefore an easy way to broadcast information within a variety of marketing and media methods (social networking, home webpage, within Kyte itself, social bookmarking, blogging). Again, this is another free marketing tool that, when used effectively, can relay a bunch of information in a streaming media platform in a veriety of different applications and methods -- so give it a try for yourself!

Free Classified Posts
Free classified sites can really help drive traffic to your website, and at no cost to you. HUGE BONUS.
However, the key to posting (although so many people abuse this), is avoiding overuse/spamming. It is very possible, if not easy in most cases, to post the same ad by clicking to copy and paste. However, the more you do this as a legitimate Internet marketer, the less value your over-posted ads really carry. Creating a well-worded and sparingly used ad can really go a long way.
A few sites I really like:
www.kijiji.com
www.myadpost.com
www.backpage.com
and of course...craigslist.
These sites do not allow MLM or wealth generating schemes, so if that is your online business, this might not work for you. However, there is great value in free advertising when utilized properly.
A great sample ad stresses the value in your company, an incentive to work with you in a supportive atmosphere, and the flexibility of working on the Internet. Throwing phrases around like "Make A Million Dollars in a Year" or "All Your Financial Dream Can Come True" are not valuable advertising methods because this is of course not plausible for every individual that clicks to your website or chooses to work with you, and it reeks of scam and dishonest tactics. So again, be smart with your free ad post, and always be realistic and honest.
Good luck!!

Using Social Networking to Create Valuable Leads
Social networking is an extremely valuable tool in the Internet marketing industry, and somewhat underestimated I believe. Most industry leaders count on paid advertisement methods to grab a large majority of their leads. However, especially for the beginner, this method might not always be accessible or financially possible.
Enter social networking.
The most common social networking platforms are Myspace, Facebook, Bebo, and LinkedIn (although there are definitely so many more out there)- all of which offer free memberships (although LinkedIn offers membership upgrades that do cost money). Each of these also allow you to search through groups, friends of friends, featured profiles, and more - and all of these are great methods to gain potential leads by increasing your profile's network. Especially with Myspace, you can join many groups that have focused interest in Internet marketing, MLM, online entrepreneurship (I might have just made up that word, but go with it :-)), home business opportunities, and all the other buzzwords you can dream of. Also, you can create your own group for others of similar interests to join. You should also request people from these industry specific groups as your friends, because if they are like minded in wanting to make money online, your site or profile might be the next online money making venture for them. Also, people that belong to these groups often already possess a decent amount of Internet marketing experience, so they could be a valuable asset to building your team. Facebook allows businesses to publish "pages" as advertisement platforms. People can join and follow businesses by becoming "fans", and as the owner of the page you create, you can also create targeted ads to run according to your budget to publicize your page.
Another convenience of social networking is the crosslinking potential. You can crosslink your home page, other social networking sites, Squidoo lens, blog, etc. and help boost traffic to your other sites as well. Some sites even provide easily inserted tabs, widgets, or badges for you to be able to crosslink easier. for example, I have inserted our Bebo badge below. Not only does it make inserting html code a breeze, but it also give you visually pleasing links.
Try out a few of these social networking sites, and let me know how they work out for you personally - I would love to hear your feedback, tips, and personal stories about how social networking works for you as well! And while you are trying out these sites, be sure to add our pages - links are below!!

Our Squidoo Lens - A Great Free Marketing Tool
I created a lens on squidoo for our webpage promoting MyInternetBusiness (our product). I just wanted to share this tip because I think it's a great free marketing tool for all kinds of businesses, both online and offline. It's a great tip to give to internet marketing newcomers because it's completely free and very user-friendly. You can customize your lense in so many ways, and there are a ton of places to submit your lens to boost its ranking. Also, squidoo has a TON of members (over 400,000 lenses alone right now i believe) and is growing extremely fast in popularity. There are also groups and forums within the site that you can contribute to and submit your lens to as well, so this additional internal lens and site promotion really helps.
So check out our lens if you get a chance - digg it, stumbleupon it, favorite it, give it 5 stars, link it, del.icio.us it, make sweet sweet love to it if you want to even (just don't tell your spouse!)
So take a minute and visit our lens, even if just to see what a lens is all about and learn how to make one! It's definately worthwhile for any businessperson.
