    This is a good time to be a digital marketer. Despite several years of economic struggles around the world — or perhaps because of it — the demand for online marketing services is on the rise. That’s according to the 2010 SEO Industry Survey that’s just been released by SEOmoz. So your choice of online marketing is very correct. Methods for online marketing are as follows:Social networks like the following ones are very helpful.•Facebook•MySpace•Bebo•Care2•DeviantART•Flixster•Friendster•hi5•LinkedIn•Meetup.com•YouTube

    You should create an authority blog as a central location for what you're doing...

    You'll definitely need a Facebook fanpage...

    Drive traffic from other sites though. I'd use platforms like BuySellAds.com to find sites in my niche and place ads on them...

    Might be cheap for IT field...

    BUt the #1 thing you need to do is create some type of free gift (ebook, report, video series) and give it away for people's emails...

    Build your list so you can market to them over time...

    If you're not exactly sure on how to start a profitable blog, CLICK THE LINK in my signature. Thank me later :cool:

    The first thing to consider is YOUR LIST of subscribers (mailing list).
    You can create/build a list by using Ad-swap emails, soloads email blast and safelists. It's easy

    IT Field eh???? My suggestion is to first get yourself around others who are in your field. The best way to do this is to visit other blog owners, comment on their blogs and begin to interact from them. My experience is to learn from those who are doing what you want to do. You'll notice that in this industry, there are people who truly want to see you succeed..Best of luck to you

    Lead generation is the practice of soliciting inquiries from potential customers. Traditionally lead generation occurred at places like trade shows – visitors to a company's booth would fill out a card with their contact information and turn it in to receive a call back from that company's sales team. Since the rise of the Internet, many businesses use their websites as a lead generation option. Most marketing experts recommend that companies use at least 10 different lead generation methods to ensure that their pipelines remain full.

    I recommend social media and forums. It's easier to get wider reach that way. Whatever you do DON'T focus on only SEO it's not reliable. :)

    Well, you should get to know everything about SEO. It is not as simple as putting the answer here and you say I got it all. It is something that you should at least put a month on it and learn all the details about it.

    One thing that has worked exceptionally well for me is still good ol' direct mail, especially postcards. The USPS isn't dead yet! :)
