Online Business Tools

Many businesses are striving to secure a seat in the online business bandwagon. However, not all of them have or know the right tools for an online business. Online business tools vital in delivering the winning business model include the use of social media and, to be precise, social bookmarking sites.

Social media is based on the online interactions between the business and the people. These media include words, pictures and sounds, which all bear a message we want to pass. Powerful online business tools that spread information in the form of user-generated content (UGC) or consumer-generated media (CGM) are considered to be driving forces in creating the desired interaction with the online masses. The growth of the business is influenced by the growth in popularity of social bookmarking.

The social bookmarking sites allow for Internet users to share, organize, search, and manage bookmarks. They act as reference tools between websites. Common forms of social media that generally provide for socialization, business networking and relatives to connect are:
• Slogans and catch phrases
• Public speaking and demonstrations through downloadable videos
• Printable media that allows for tagging

Online tools for small business are available today either at a premium cost or at no cost at all. They may vary from blogs and reviews to business planners, calculators and translators. They encourage users to choose content that they themselves think is relevant on the site. Some online tools also make it easier to embed links to content automatically. Therefore, a client is likely to stumble upon similar content to what he was searching for and may choose to link it through a social bookmarking site. Some tools provide users with popular tags which act as conversion rate optimization tricks during link building so as to enhance sharing content. New variants of these online business tools are a variety that acts as link building tools for other sites.

Free online business tools available include a select few which are mainly online social networks, where thousands of people are allowed to run their own social networks free of charge. Some allow Internet users to have real-time collaboration to manage projects. It comes with free basic services. The use of RSS feeds by Internet users is also an advantage of online business tools. RSS aggregators are becoming handier as they organize feeds from various social networking websites into a neat content box, eliminating the need to go to those sites all the time. Advanced ones have drag and drop features for the users of social bookmarking sites.

 

Thanks for the great article. What do you think about public speaking and non charitable organizations? How do you think it can benefit in terms of marketing? I have seen many charitable organizations take benefit from this. How can we as marketers, make use of this for our commercial purposes?

Its better that you do a Google search for this issue

But not price wise.... They want people to do SEO for their site at rates that are close to impossible
