It is always recommended to speak to others about your internet marketing campaign. Maybe its an agency to simply gather some ideas, don’t sign up for the service as you can do it yourself, or simply hitting the boards and forums to talk with those who have been there and done that.

Pay attention to what they say and see how it relates to your efforts to maximize your campaigns potential.
Developing a website is relatively easy. Once you have a domain and a hosting company putting it in the World Wide Web, you need to focus on content. This is where things can be a bit tedious. You are going to use free tools like Google AdWords to refine the keywords you use. This will narrow your site down to a specific niche audience. Those are the people who only use keywords related to your service or product. This is called search engine optimization and it is how you move up the ranks. The goal with that tool is to see what words relate to you with the most searches and the least amount of competition. Don’t worry; those stats will be right there on the screen as you refine keywords. This makes life a whole lot easier and free tools are better than paying someone to use those free tools for you or buying software that does the same thing.
The top directories are a great place to get listed. DMOZ being the biggest almost ensures that you will be given a decent spot in searches. The key is to not look like a billion other template sites as these are often tossed and it is impossible to get on them after that. Just keep the site unique looking and professional, meaning no spammy content with ridiculous repeating keywords that lead to nothing but gibberish.
You can write blogs and post them on many of the free sites that are available. You will have keywords linked to your sites and once one clicks on it they move to the site where you generate real revenue. Keep the content fresh and updated. Most importantly be honest in what you write. This can come back to haunt you if you are clueless about the topic of seem like you are pushing a sale.
Social networking sites are a great promotional vehicle. Create your business pages and keep in contact with followers and friends. Be honest in posts and never put a link in every comment. Spread them out throughout the day to maximize interest. You don’t seem desperate doing this and constant interaction will generate trust in you leading to a nice following and a foundation built with interested parties.
As you can see, Internet marketing is not all that difficult. It is mainly based on common sense and educating yourself to what works for others and stay away from what doesn’t. The tools for a successful campaign are available for free so save your money and use those to improve your stats and build the traffic and interest that will lead to your financial freedom.
