Developing an effective product marketing strategy is essential in today's online market. You need to improve your marketing methods everyday so that more and more people will see you and act. How does one go about marketing online? Which is the best strategy to use?
There are various methods that can be used to market online. Some are free and some will cost you, such as pay per click ads (PPC). Although pay per click ads can bring you customers, I personally wouldn't start off with them until you get the free marketing techniques down first. If you are just starting out in your product marketing strategy, you could easily spend hundreds if not thousands paying for your clients. This is a very fast way to build your list, but making money first and then buying the ads is a better way to go.
One very effective free way to market is writing articles. This is a highly effective method in reaching your potential audience. When doing an article, make sure you do your keyword research to see if the competition for your product is either high, medium or low. Obviously, you would want to pick the one with the highest clicks with a low barrier of competition. Your article should be informative and help the reader gain knowledge on the product that you are marketing. Another good tip is to start a blog, and post your articles on there as well. Readers can easily come back to your blog down the road and see new articles and new insight that is given on your XYZ product. If you are not a very good writer, you can have it outsourced to a company and they will write it for you. You should learn all you can on article writing, so that if you do outsource it to a company, you know what to look for. There are certain tactics that can be learned that will get you ranked on the first few pages of Google. You will definitely want to learn these so that you will have more customers.

Another great tactic for your product marketing strategy is video marketing. This one is also free and is definitely one of the hottest ways to market in online marketing. The great thing about video marketing is that it is very easy to learn and do. Most computers come with a software that allows you to make your own videos right on your laptop. Not only can you post your video on YouTube and other related video marketing sites, but it can be posted on your blog as well. There are companies out there that will send your video out to many different sites so that you don't have to take the time and do that.
Your videos should vary on the content but will want to grab the audience's attention and inform them on your product. Don't forget to put a link at the end and to the side of your video that shows your website.
Using these two methods will definitely bring you traffic and you will start to see results in a short while (depending on how much your work at it). It is a numbers game, so plan on doing quite a bit of both to see the success you desire. Like I mentioned earlier, you can outsource both of these marketing techniques but it will cost you.
