There are several ways to implement internet marketing promotion and advertising strategy. Here are a few to start with:

- social networks
- video sharing services
- community forums
- blogs
- free image hosting sites
- web 2.0 communities
- ad networks

Social networks - Unleash the power of social networking with Twitter, Bebo, Facebook, MySpace and other similar sites. Beware though that this can be addicting since you need to have an active presence on these sites, you might lose focus on more important matters. But on the brighter side, this can be an instantaneous way of actively engaging your internet marketing promotion and advertising to your network.

Video sharing sites - Unless you’d been away from civilization for way too long, video sharing sites are a great way to help your internet marketing promotion and advertising campaign. They’re free to join and enable users to upload and broadcast their videos to a diverse online community.

These would include sites such as - YouTube, MetaCafe and DailyMotion. I’ve watched unknown individuals launch their careers which eventually took off with this simple internet marketing promotion and advertising. Examples are Journey’s front man Arnel Pineda, Charise Pempengco, Moi-moi palaboy just to name a few.

Blogs – Try to leave relevant comments on popular blogs, be courteous and please do not spam. If they’re using wordpress as their publishing app tool, blogs with ‘comment love’ plugin can be of great help since this plugin instantaneously displays the current post from your site. You can get indexed fast if it’s a high ranking blog. This may be the simplest form of internet marketing promotion and advertising.

Forums - Searching your “niche” + forum, you’ll be able to communicate and exchange ideas with like minded individuals. You are allowed to post a “sig” and this will help your inbound links. It’s important to read and follow the forum rules before posting. You wouldn’t want to ruin your chances for free internet marketing promotion and advertising.

One more thing to note, do not blatantly promote your site, affiliate link or product on forums. Be judicious, you’ll be glad you did. Here are popular forums for affiliate and internet marketers – Wickedfire and Warrior forums.

Free image hosting sites - If you need to promote and advertise your site with the use of pictures, you can use Flicker or Slideroll as a way to get your internet marketing promotion and advertising going.

Web 2.0 communities - Web 2.0 sites are community sites that allow users to publish content as authors. If you do not have a domain or hosting account yet, joining in this community can help get your feet wet on online publishing. Again it’s free to join and this can also assist your internet marketing promotion and advertising especially when you establish a certain level of expertise in whatever topics you write about. You can even earn with adsense integration. Popular Web 2.0 sites are - Squidoo and Hubpages.

Ad networks - If you need to get traffic fast, try PPC using Google AdWords or Yahoo. This isn’t free though, the only drawback is you need to know PPC basics first or you might end up loosing money. Read more about it in - Know your PPC search engine internet marketing campaign – parts 1 to 3.

If you want to post your ads for free, try Craigslist or Adgridwork instead.

The networks I’ve mentioned above are just some of the avenues that can greatly expand your internet marketing promotion and advertising with millions of users ready to be tapped. I hope these tips can get you started and help you strategize your internet marketing promotion and advertising strategy for the next coming months.
