How to Start ONLINE MARKETING for your business

I started taking photography seriously since last year and I have started a photography business just recently. As a new starter, it is a bit tough to manage cash flow as start up fund requirements are high.

I faced the same problem when I thought of Marketing for my business. Online marketing is one of the several areas that you need to think about when you are thinking about your business. Getting a domain name, getting a business email address, making a website etc were the questions that I was thinking when online marketing was on my mind.

I started online marketing recently and the only thing that I paid for is my time. Virtually all other things are for free. I know that someone might argue that time is money but my counter argument is that it is your time and that you are not paying someone else to do the work for you yet you are getting results. I thought that I should share my experience of getting my business online for FREE with you.
