I am going to start an online business soon and I would like to advertise online. However, there are tons of companies out there that say they can get me hits on my website and can get me at the top of search engines. I don’t have the money, time or resources to try each one, however, if anyone knows of any marketing companies that has a proven track record, I would be oblige to know.

Hi Penny,

I’m not sure what kind of business you’re starting. Some businesses don’t require you branding yourself but most do. In this new economy, the information age is gone.

We’re now in the inspiration age…

Look Penny, hits wont make you money, conversions make you money. There’s millions of squeeze pages out there trying to sale something, what makes yours any different? You need to inspire people with you knowledge and value.

You need to position yourself as an expert…

Not only do you need to know who your target market is, they want to know who you are, and to do that, you need to add value with content you create.

you create content that will educate your target market, which positions you as an expert, and with that, people will come to you, as apposed to you spending money on advertising.

You can get some ideas from my blog. I’ll also post some other sites that will help.

Peace
