The terms marketing and advertising seem to have become synonymous but they are two distinctive ways of promoting your business. Advertising is a way to get an offer for your business out to the public through newspapers, TV or radio. Marketing is how you get branded in the public eye. This can be done through articles you write, joint-venture promotions with another business, special "member-only" promotions, etc. This creativity is what makes marketing fun! If you don't advertise you can lose business to others who do but can you imagine what happens when you don't market? The business with the better marketing is the one that captures the interest of the public. Newspaper and radio advertising offer you a very limited amount of space or time to get your message out. With Internet marketing, your business has a whole new dynamic way to be promoted. You can use video or audio on your website which gives your customer or potential customer the ability to get a custom message from you. You can now tell your "story".

When people are looking for your particular type of business or service they don't mind spending extra time listening to a message or watching a video because they can do it in the comfort of their home and when it's convenient for them. The better your site is at promoting your message, the more likely that person will decide to do business with you.

Ok, where's the fun you ask? It's all the creative way you can find to communicate your business through internet marketing. Whether you use blogs, social networking sites, video, audio or free reports you are limited only by your imagination. The best part is your message can now have a world wide audience.
