Before you dismiss the idea of marketing on the Internet, let's ponder this for a moment. Every business owner worth their salt, who's tapped into the power of the Internet, will eventually realize that they're probably already marketing their products and services online – whether they planned an Internet marketing campaign or not. Today, we'll uncover some of the sneaky ways you might already be promoting your business on the Internet without even knowing it.

So, tell me, do you have a website for your business? If you're nodding your head in agreement, then congratulations! You're already dipping your toes into online marketing simply by having a website. Just by being live on the web, you've opened up the possibility of curious Internet users stumbling upon your site. Even if you're not actively pushing your website, it could still spark interest in your products or services – that's what we call passive marketing, my friend.

This important piece of digital real estate is the cornerstone of your business. No matter the size of the business, your potential customers expect you to have a website. Your website will also be the first impression you make on your potential client. As you know, first impressions are everything.

But if you go into building a website without a plan. You are planning to fail. Your website must be tailored to speak directly to your target audience and capture a lead. This means that you don't want to build a digital brochure. Instead you want to build a funnel hub that guides your visitor to where you want them to go or what specific action you want them to take; be it call you or download a free guid.

Now, let's talk about message boards. Do you participate in them and sneak in a link to your website in your signature? If you answered yes, you're already harnessing the power of online marketing. Smart business owners understand the value of engaging in industry-related message boards to create buzz around their products and services, establish their expertise, and slip in a link to their site (even if it's just in the signature line of their posts). But here's the kicker: even if you didn't realize this, you might still be reaping the rewards of Internet marketing just by participating in message boards as a hobby or leisure activity.

Additionally, by consistently providing valuable insights, useful tips, and practical solutions to problems discussed on these boards, you'll establish yourself as an expert and thought leader in your field, attracting new customers seeking expert advice. But that's not all – engaging with your audience on message boards also helps create a loyal following, enhances your search engine optimization (SEO) efforts, and offers a goldmine of information about customer preferences and expectations. So, don't underestimate the power of message boards – they can be the key to unlocking a whole new level of online success for your business.

Moving on to your website's content – are you using keywords relevant to your business? If so, then congratulations once again! You're already dabbling in the world of Internet marketing by optimizing your website with those keywords. Search engine optimization (SEO) may sound like a complex beast. Still, it can be as simple as using relevant keywords that naturally describe your products and services. By doing so, search engines may boost your website's rankings for those specific keywords. Sure, there's more to SEO than just keyword frequency, but every little bit helps, right?

From a technical side, Google and Bing have to be made aware of your site. Platforms like Google Search Console, and Bing Webmaster Tools are two of the must have accounts to manage your websites. These resources can help you effectively manage your website's presence on search engines and optimize its performance.

Google Search Console is a valuable tool that provides insights into how your website performs on the Google search engine. It offers a wealth of data, including search queries, click-through rates, and impressions. Additionally, it allows you to monitor your site's indexing status, identify crawl errors, and receive suggestions to enhance your site's overall performance. By addressing issues proactively, you can maintain a healthy website and improve its visibility on search results.

Bing Webmaster Tools is another important tool for SEO management, focusing on your website's performance on Microsoft's search engine, Bing. Similar to Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools provides information on search traffic, keywords, and indexing status. It also enables you to submit sitemaps and diagnose technical issues. Although Bing may not be as widely used as Google, it still holds a considerable share of the search market, and utilizing this tool can give your business a competitive advantage.

Do you ask your customers for feedback online? Well, lo and behold, this is yet another way you might be inadvertently marketing your business on the Internet. Most savvy business owners recognize the value of getting customer feedback, and those selling products online might use online surveys to do so. Even though you may just be doing this for business reasons, the mere fact that it's happening online means you're participating in the realm of Internet marketing.

Reviews are today's word of mouth marketing. With the maximum number of relationships a person can maintain at 150, also known as the Dunbar's number, you severely limit your opportunities to gain a new customers by not leveraging online reviews.

Think about it. 150 may seem like a lot of people. If you do the math, and each one of those 150 have 150 connections you are tapped out at 22,500 individuals who could potentially call you for services. When was the last time you talked to 150 people about any service?

With reviews, you won't have to hope and pray your last customer will spread the word to every one they meet. A review of your services on Google or Facebook can reach thousands of people and provide your company greater authority in the market place. 

I know this seems like a lot to take in at once. We've uncovered several sneaky ways you might already be marketing online.
