    Don't overlook the stats of how many people actually open the emails, let alone click through.

    You can start by:
    1. Creating Facebook Fan Page that share useful content around your product niche( And boost it for more like and share) , post your website link at blue button section
    2. Posting regularly at forums related to your product niche, build name and credibility
    3. Write articles related with your product niche and submit it to well know article directories such as ezine articles ( they have millions reader traffic every month). Put your business website link at the end of each article.
    4. Create viral content marketing about your product using top platform such as youtube, instagram, twitter
    5. Guest blogging
    On the same time try build a lead email database using squeeze page and start building prospect lists. Email them regularly not with just product promotion but some useful sharing, build their trust and slowly introduce benefits and features of your product and where they can buy it.

    It depends on your business type, target audience, your budget and goals. For instance, if your business is seasonal, you've just started and want prompt results, you should focus on PPC and social media. SEO, content and email marketing are something you should do in the background.

    Social media is the best platform to promote your business online. You can create official accounts on all the social media platforms. Today, Instagram is the most popular platform for small business promotion.

    This would depend on your budget. But assuming you do not have much, you´d have to start with social media; facebook, instagram, twitter, etc...these are some free ways. If you have a little money to spend using the right influencers would be helpful. But there are so many ways, free and paid, of how to promote your online business.

    Depend. If the business is related with fashion, travels, erotism, arts, crafts or entertainment; without a doubt: Instagram marketing.

    There are so many strategies that you can use in Instagram: influencer marketing (convert your clients in influencers is magic), events, follow popular regional places and people, regional hashtags, draws, strategic alliances, content marketing, ads...

    If you have a popular Instagram, you will have a great voice and cache between young people near of you.

    Location-based marketing is the most effective way to promote small businesses. If you have a physical location, make sure you are registered on Google so that your shop shows up on the map. Using different social media platforms is also super important to appear on searches (Instagram, Facebook, Playsee). All these social media platforms also allow you to run ads so that you can reach relevant consumers.

    You can invest in a cheap SEO tool like Keysearch and start researching keywords relevant to your services/products. Of course, you'll need a blog on a website.
    Otherwise, Social Media work well too. Find where your audience spends their time and start from there
