There are so many possible online marketing strategies one can pursue these days, and unfortunately for many folks just starting out, the whole thing can be down right confusing!

If that's you, then read on. I put this blog post together to highlight three specific online marketing strategies that you can pursue to get massive results, and provided an excellent free training resource for each one to get you started.

Three Killer Online Marketing Strategies.

Facebook Marketing

Social media networks are a brilliant way to reach out, connect, and follow up with your target audience. The Internet is becoming increasingly social each year, and social media are an extremely powerful tool in your arsenal to drive traffic and generate leads.

Facebook marketing is still the undisputed king of social online marketing strategies. With over 700 million members, the second most visited website on the Internet, and the highest average amount of user time online (over 8 hours per month per person). Facebook is a gold mine for online marketers, if you know how to use it properly!

The problem is, a lot of people will jump onto Facebook and start plastering their product or service everywhere, only to find they they've been blocked and un-friended by everyone on their list!

Not the result they were hoping for!

Social media in general is all about building rapport and trust with your audience, by engaging them on their terms. It's about connecting with people, providing value, and forming relationships. You know that "Like" button in Facebook? Well it says it all. your aim is to establish an environment that makes you attractive, like-able, and that naturally leads to new business and referrals.

Article Marketing

There is a famous expression about the Internet, which says that "Content is King". Every day the web is driven by billions of searches by people looking for answers and solutions to their problems, challenges, and desires. and countless web pages that provide the answers they are looking for.

One of the most surefire methods for success online is to develop content that addresses the needs of your target market, and then to get it in front of them when they are looking for it. Article marketing is the perfect example of this strategy.

The great thing about article marketing-and this would include blogging as well- is that, if you know what you are doing, you can tap into massive amounts of traffic free, and keep that free traffic coming for months and even years into the future.

Effective article marketing involves a few key skills. Such as learning how to do keyword research, understanding how to develop content that gives your audience what they want, and knowing how to leverage key tools and services to get your articles distributed, back-linked, and ranked.

David Wood, one of the most famous marketers online, started out with barely any money to his name, but cracked the code to article marketing. and within 3 months had made $25,000 in a single day.

YouTube Marketing

Video is one of the most powerful online marketing strategies around. First of all, the search engines love it. Secondly, there is no other medium that allows you to shortcut the process of building familiarity, trust, and rapport as quickly as video.

Not only can you deliver quality content and guidance to your prospects, but you can also let them experience who you are and create a connection with you at the same time. That's an incredibly powerful combination.

YouTube is the web's third most visited site. In fact, it's even the second largest search engine online (after Google). That's right. more people open up YouTube to search for something they are interested in than Yahoo and Bing!
