Next, I'll share with you some tips on how to market best in you:

- Always present a pleasant smile, whether on telephone, in person, in email or even in a fax (SMILE) - Do what you love (you'll be more fulfilled) - Don’t try to be jack-of-all-trades (you do everything and anything) rather, specialize (promote one thing or area you do best) - Be unique (original) - Always be professional - Always be yourself - Always express a sense of passion in what it is you do - Always explore ways to enhance yourself (personally, professionally, and/or spiritually)

As you can see, marketing best you is more than just selling or promoting your business and it's products or services. As a business owner, you are in most cases business (when people meet you, they are immediately exposed to quality of your service or product). In virtual world however, people won't necessarily meet you face-to-face but they too are exposed to quality of your service or product. How? Through your website, telephone conversation, and/or via email responses.

In closing, remember this, first impressions are everlasting, so when given opportunity always remember to market best in You...

2. Paid advertising. Most popularly this would be pay per click advertising through Adwords or Overture or one of many other pay per click search engines. But it could be pay for inclusion, banner advertising or sponsor ads in E-zines.

3. Free advertising. The best way to get free advertising other than your search engine listings is to write articles. Articles like this one your reading will be added to other people's websites and can be submitted to article directories. Everywhere your article is placed there will also be a link to your site.

4. Affiliates. If you have a product then you should operate your own affiliate programme. That way others can promote your product in return for a commission and in order to do that they will have to send their visitors to your site.

5. Joint ventures. A joint venture is like a customised affiliate arrangement whereby another site owner promotes your product to their list or on their site in return for commission. A joint venture differs from an affiliate offer in that it will be a custom or personalised arrangement negotiated between parties.

6. Repeat visits. The two main ways of getting repeat visits to your site are to have interesting content or to invite people to return via a newsletter or other email that you send to previous visitors. You will of course need to have a reason for these visitors to return. Which brings us back to fresh content, but it could be a special offer or bonus. Obviously in order to send an e-mail you need to collect visitors email address first time that they visit your site.

These then are your basic ingredients. What you need is right recipe that mixes them all up into perfect business for you.
