Week 12 Online Marketing Tools In Use

What four additional online marketing tools do you believe could be important to the growth of your business?

I strongly recommend

·         Goggle Doc’s as a competitive Business tool which could organizes your content, projects, and images. It is simple, and accessible anywhere on the cloud. It’s very intuitive, smart and carries the bulk of Microsoft’s Office suite around for you (for free). Also, the biggest wow factor is that users can collaborative from anywhere in the world in real time—which is a big advantage over a Microsoft platform.

·         Second, build out your Google+ page. We've all been using Blogger or Word Press (which is great), but I would continue to post new content to the page on a weekly basis (if possible) and attract potential business.

·         Create a YouTube channel and upload anything business like content you have (at first). Don’t worry, my channel started out being the laughing stock of the community but now I’m getting (paying) jobs. So what changed? Hint—Take Neil Moura’s 101 Communication class, do exactly what he says, (his background is Broadcasting) and then go build your brand.

·         Pinterest is an interesting place for pictures but you can also create groups and exchange relevant ideas.

·         Instagram is another site (that Lukas in our 155 class suggested to me) and I think that it’s worth mentioning and forwarding to everyone else as a usable social media tool .

How could you integrate them into your current strategy?

I've already incorporated all of the above points into my marketing plan, but the key to effectively benefiting from it requires that you are consistently improving your profiles and providing new content for higher ranking.
