It really does not matter what type of product or service that you promote because these four tips that I will share with you are going to put you in the right direction to start marketing yourself online.

1. Get a Website: Get it up and running with rich content and get it out into the internet universe as quickly as possible. Get your URL indexed in the search engines as soon as possible because it takes a while for those little spiders to crawl your content and index them accordingly! You can use your website, your affiliate site or your duplicated website from your network marketing company where you promote your products or services.

1. Submit Your Content and Knowledge: There are several ways that you can promote yourself online. A few examples would be to create at least three articles and submit them to at least five different article submission sites such as Hubpages.com and Digg.com. Another way is to start creating videos larketing, pre paid legal, network marketing, small etting people know about yourself or put some information out on a specific topic that pertains to your line of business and submitting them to different video submission websites. Never try to sell your product, service or business opportunity. People are seeking information, so give it to them and then you can just reference your website at the end of your article or video. Tell your audience what to do! If you want them to go to your website to learn more, tell them! But, never sell them a product, service or opportunity. People need to get to know YOU first, then like you and your content which will lead into trusting you, and eventually will lead to a sale. Be creative and do your due diligence!

1. Get a Lead Capture Page: The reason why you want to do this is to "capture" your targeted leads so that you can start building your email list. This is going to allow you to build a relationship with them. Once they enter their name and email address, direct them to your website. Make sure that you give them enough information to want to learn more, but don't give them too much. Add a few bulleted points on your product or service and how THEY can benefit from it. Again, people are looking for a solution. You have to be able to solve their problem. Give them an incentive if you can. A great incentive program that I would recommend is a Travel Voucher Program. The one I use is www.BoostYourBizNow.com.

1. Auto Responder: This relates to #3. Having an auto responder on your lead capture page is going to allow you to start communicating with your leads. Be sure to send them information and again, never try to sell them anything. You may include a link to your website in your signature so that they can opt to check it out on their own, and they will. Statistics show that it takes about 8 to 12 emails to make a sale. So, make sure you are sending them good content, especially in your first 2 or 3 campaigns.

There are literally hundreds of creative ways to promote yourself online, but these 4 tasks should be your very first steps that you should take to start marketing yourself on the internet. Just remember never try to sell ANYTHING to your prospects. Just be persistent and be consistent and you will succeed!
