If you're still not familiar with the whole internet marketing thing, you need to get out from that rock you've been living under.  Almost half of all consumer traffic is happening through the internet.  The bottom line is that if you're still not online taking your slice of the pie, you're missing out big time.

There are lots of ways you can market online, most of them are very easy and can be done by anyone regardless of experience level.

Some of these things include creating websites, blogging, engaging on social media, posting advertisements of creating Youtube videos.

With all the different ways to practice internet marketing, it can be overwhelming.  But the good news is that there's always a tutorial or video you can find easily by searching Google to get all the answers you need.

There are lots of ways to get started and most people do so by creating a free blog via an online service like Wordpress or Blogspot.  This is a great, extremely easy way to get your hands dirty creating content on this thing we call the internet for the first time.  It's all much easier than you think.

So how do you figure out what avenue is best for you in regards to internet marketing?

Well, you have to figure out what your goals are.  Are you online because of a hobby or to help build your business?  Both are entirely different things.

For business, I would start by searching for blogs and authority websites with lots of information specific to what you're looking for.  Sites like entrepreneur.com can provide lots of great information about marketing your business, online and offline.

There's no reason why you can't have at least some form of presence on the internet by this time next week.  You just need to spend some time doing the research to get going.

Good luck!
