By writing, I use something that I can do to publicize myself. The next step of course after writing an article is to submit it to places where it can be sent to " publishers" of ezines and other publications both online and off. For a list of places through which you can do so go to

What skill or talent do you have that can be used to publicize yourself? Perhaps you are good at talking to people. One on one communication is a great way to let people know that you are marketing something. Along same lines, comes public speaking. Want to find organizations to speak for, and possibly get your own public speaking engagements. One place to start is to join an organization like Toastmasters whose main focus is to build public speaking skills.

But what if you don't want to speak professionally or write articles for ezines or magazines? Another way to get your presence known is join as many different online public forums as possible. They don't have to all be marketing forums, just try to concentrate though on forums that peak your interest most. In that way you'll have something more relevant to contribute. Of course, you've got to do more than to just join these forums. You do have to post to them!!!

These are just a few of ways to get free publicity, market yourself and therefore increase your marketing potential..

Remember, like politician you've got to get your name out there, and "blow your own horn".

It will be educational to examine one of more effective tools on internet in terms of building relationships. And that is ezine. In recent times it has become increasingly difficult to get subscribers for a free ezine. And this is reason.

You make a brief introduction and you realize that you need to build a relationship. So you agree to communicate on a regular basis. But then as you start to talk through email and chat, it quickly becomes obvious that you are in a big hurry to get married to this person that still hardly knows you. They get even more suspicious than if you had been honest and asked for their hand in marriage upfront.

In same way, many ezines start bombarding their new subscribers with offers and requests to purchase immediately they subscribe. It quickly becomes obvious that this is not free valuable information after all, but a chance to get into my mailbox and regularly pester me with requests to buy this and that. No wonder rate at which people unsubscribe these days is so high.

I also believe that frequency of communication needs to be looked into very carefully. In a budding romance there is no quicker killer than that new guy who is always coming around to flat. Absence makes heart grow fonder. Weekly may be too frequent for most people although there is an ezine I like very much that I receive DAILY!! I guess it all depends on subject.

Take time to build a genuine relationship and see difference in your online business. --------------- If you found this article interesting, you can read another article by this author at link below that will give you only 2 things you need to acknowledge to gurantee success in any online marketing program.
