Where to learn about online Marketing
Here of course!
Well, this is
probably going to be the most comprehensive, get down to the nitty gritty
source on learning the basics you'll find on the net.
However there are
several other resources that are extremely valuable.
One neglected source
by many webmasters, and wannabe webmasters is a gathering place called
forums.
A forum is typically
a website where like minded individuals gather and post their thoughts, ideas,
questions and most of all opinions.
A forum can be based
on any subject such as gardening, hobbies, home improvement or in our case
Marketing.
The way a forum is
set up typically follows this outline:
First you login and
set yourself up a profile and signature.
Sometimes you are
required to tell a bit about yourself so others know who they're speaking to,
but not always.
The signature file
is a couple of lines that usually follow your post and here is where you would
put a link back to either your website or newsletter or whatever else you have
to promote.
Of course you could
leave it blank.
The benefit to
adding a sig file is the fact that usually forums are popular and get spidered
often by search engines, in the process getting your link spidered. The more
obvious reason is simply free advertising to the other members of the forum.
Abuse of a forum and
or sig file for no other purpose than to advertise will typically get you
banned from a forum. The reason forums exist, are so that people can trade
ideas and not for advertising alone.
Most respectable
forum will have a moderator which will review your post before allowing it to
be seen by other members. This ensures the integrity of the post and also
enforces the rules.
Some of the most
popular forum and the ones that I frequent are:
http://www.webmasterworld.com
http://www.associateprograms.com/discus/
http://www.geekvillage.com/forums/
http://www.geekvillage.com/forums/
http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/
There are many
others and a quick search on any major search engine will reveal tons, however
these are my favorites and I think the best ones out there.
Other learning resources include
ebooks. Follow this link to the ebook download page and start reading now!!!
Good Luck in this Marketing Jungle!
