By Greg Arnett

You discovered a niche, you built an online store and then nothing happened. If you build it, they will come does not apply to an online business. You have to commit yourself to the time and effort it takes to launch a full marketing campaign that will bring your store to your target audience.

Marketing your online business is not hard. It will take some time, effort and a bit of money but you will see a return that makes it all worthwhile. There are lots of ways to market your website. You can go the pay-per-click route and only pay for your ad when it brings a visitor to your site. This is a great way to get started because it is fairly cost effective depending on the keyword you want to use. The more popular keywords will cost more per click than the less popular words.

Another good way to get started with your marketing campaign is to blog about your business. You can go to the top blogging sites and create your own blog about your niche market and include a link to your site with every post. You can also go to other blogs and forums with topics that relate to your online business and leave comments. If you use your URL in the signature line you will be creating links back to your site. The more links you have going back to your site the better your Google ranking will be.

You will really need it in order to grow your business. That is why many sites are providing you with thousands of opt-in email addresses every month are so useful.

Marketing is the most important part of running any business and an online business is no different. Do some research before creating your marketing plan?
