If your goal is to make money online, you will require an aggressive marketing plan. In order to market your online business, you will need to learn to publicize and promote your business.  Since more and more people are interested in making money online, more people want to know how to make money online by learning to publicize and promote.  Here are some ways to do this:

Social Bookmarking sites - Learn how to use social bookmarking sites as part of your marketing plan.  Social bookmarking sites can help you by not only getting additional information about your product or service out to more people but can also help you develop back-links. There are helpful programs available to help make bookmarking easy and you can save a lot of time by investigating them;

Twitter - If you are not including Twitter in your marketing plan you are missing a great opportunity to promote and publicize. There are thousands of people on Twitter who are interested in new products and services.  You may want to consider automating your Twitter account to help with all types of promotion through Twitter and other social networking sites;

FaceBook - FaceBook allows you to set up "Fan Pages" which can be a great option to promote and publicize your business. When you set up a Fan Page you have an opportunity to reach out to a new community and identify a new market for your product and services;

Blogs - A blog is a must if you are planning on publicizing and promoting online.  A blog can help you keep your clients and potential clients up to date on changes or specials in your product or services. A blog can also provide a great source of ongoing information about your industry.  A professionally written, well thought out blog can mean greater sales;

Articles - Do not overlook the value of article marketing options. Not only can articles help establish you as an expert in your field, but many sites allow you to include a resource box that can help create back-links to your website or your blog.

Summary

Online publicity and promotion does not have to be time intensive nor does it have to be expensive. However, your marketing plan must be well thought out and be consistent.  Do not overlook the importance of being actively promoting your business online. You could lose a lot of business if you don't take advantage of the many options available to publicize and promote your business.
