As every business is aware, on-line networking and marketing are big just now and if you want to get ahead of your rivals then you need to be working these potentially highly effective tools.

We have blogged a lot recently about how to get started with your on-line marketing strategy and here we bring you two more important tips:

On-line networking/directory websites

Having your profile/account/portfolio on any of the free networking sites, such as Twitter, Facebook or Linkedin will help to get your name out into the social networking arena.

Twitter is one of the best places for building connections and relationships with brands and other people, even some people who are considered really important in your field. You just wouldn’t get the same opportunity to connect with such people in the off-line world.

It’s also worth attending Meetups, Tweetups and Conferences, where you actually meet In Real Life (IRL).

Post in forums

Spend some time posting on forums on websites that are relevant to your field. This will help to build relations and trust that may bring you new clients or customers.
