Using Free Online Tools To Market Products And Services

This presentation is about my Internet related experience which I wish to share with friends and contacts, like you.

I hope you’ll benefit from it in more ways than one. You may share it with your friends, too.

Facts affecting business:

• 2.267 billion Internet users in the world, including 1.016 billion in Asia.

• 45% of Filipinos connect to the Internet.

• 81% of the families of OFWs use the Internet as primary communication medium.

With the Internet:

Buyers and sellers have nearly unlimited access to information, goods, and services.

Delimitations have been removed on geography, time zones, and, in some cases, the need for a physical office.

Internet marketing can impact sales and marketing efforts immediately.

A small business expands to reach a national, or even an, international base of potential customers.

Web-based sales know no international boundaries.

Here is a copy of a message dated 8 September 2004 from my American-Korean business partner and mentor.

He steered a virtual business involving 8 persons (including me), who were staying in 4 different countries.

We succeeded in introducing products from South Korea to U.S.A. mainly thru email marketing.

In 2004, I learned that 6 or 7 out of every 10 transactions originated on the

Internet

Since 2004, the Internet has been the main anchor of my diversified business.

My Internet based business today:

• Marketing products, like a web-based application software, art paintings, etc. • Business Planning, Marketing, and Advertising Services • Academic Research and Writing

Social media marketing is a major component of my marketing strategy, mainly because over 75% of consumers use social media in some format to learn about products and services.
