There is no secret that will bring you to ultimate business success overnight. As an independent business owner, you will need to be responsible for trying and testing various methods that work for you.

There are a few free techniques you can and should look into. Incorporate some tried and true methods that have been implemented successfully by others. These will help you build a successful online marketing business.

Make and use your own personalized opt-in list of targeted and interested prospects. Give them the link to your blog, which should be filled with great and interesting content. Your reader will offer you feedback. They will tell you what they want to see and they will get to know you better and have trust in you. Once you have some credibility with the audience you are going to be providing for, the products and services will be taken more seriously. Even your recommendations will go a long way once you have their trust. Join and participate with a discussion board or forum. You can easily establish yourself as a helpful person who is always willing to help. The members will come to know and trust you and discuss you with others, and new people. This type of respect can go a long way in marketing. You will also be able to link your website to your signature for everyone to see. Think of every post as a marketing tool.

Find all the high targeted and popular search engines and directories for your specific market. Work to get listed on them and get a rating. There are numerous sites that will fill this bill. You want to build your link popularity so your rating will increase and you will be listed as a good ranking site.
