A YouTube channel is not only very easy to make but also
easy to manage. According to most internet marketers, video is the future of
traffic as it continues to grow at a rapid pace year after year. So if you are
not into blogging yet, you may begin your internet marketing journey by opening
a YouTube channel. Additionally, you can repurpose things to your blog from
your YouTube channel when your blog is up and running.
2. Build social media presence
Facebook alone has over one billion active monthly users and
other social media such as Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Pinterest have hundreds
of millions of users as well. Social media allow you to connect with your
target audience on a whole new level.
As an internet marketer, you should have a blog or website
of your own. You need it because it gets you targeted traffic and allows you to
build your brand. Above all, it helps people find you in search engines.

Setup Google Analytics for your blog. It will allow you to
know which contents are doing well and which ones are doing poorly.

Setup email marketing campaign right before your site goes
live. Start collecting emails right away. You can offer some freebies so that
people are encouraged to sign up to your newsletter. There are a number of
companies available on the web that offer both free and paid email marketing
services to website owners. Some popular email marketing service providers are
Aweber, Mailchimp, Convertkit, Constant Contact etc.
6. Start podcasting
A podcast show is just like your own little radio show. You

Apple iTunes, Libsyn, Podbean, SoundCloud etc. offer podcast hosting services.
You can also use Archive.org that offers podcast hosting for free (unlimited
disk space and bandwidth).
7. Content redistribution
Learn how you can repurpose your existing contents and
redistribute them on sites like LinkedIn Pulse, Ezine Articles, Hub Pages,
Medium and other authority sites. Also post alternative versions of your
YouTube videos to other streaming sites such as Dailymotion, Vimeo etc. Turn
your videos into slideshow using MS PowerPoint and then share them on
SlideShare.

Create accounts on Quora and Yahoo Answers. Find out
questions that are related to your niche. Try to answer questions and mention
your website/brand name in your answers if relevant.

AdWords. Facebook also provides more in-depth ad targeting options. So try to
