Since the introduction of the internet all businesses (large and small) now have access to more prospective customers than ever before. No longer are they limited to those who live close to them but have access to customers around the world.

Once online they can immediately connect and communicate with potential customers through social networking and interactive sites. Of course they need an online presence. In this article we will provide some easy ways of how small business can build an online presence.

Way 1 - Social Networking
Websites such as Twitter and Facebook have provided large and small businesses with a completely unique way to market themselves. After joining such websites you need to build up a comprehensive profile and then start to join in on conversations as well as communicate with both existing and potential new customers. Also don’t forget to build up relationships with other professionals using this method.

Way 2 – Begin A Blog
Make sure that the blog you start on your website is one that is relevant to the service or product or relates to something that you know a great deal about or have a keen interest in. As well as helping to keep your site updated with fresh and unique content, which is an important part of any successful SEO campaign, it will help you to gain a reputation of being a leading authority in your niche. This will, in turn, serve as a reliable source not only for your customers but other leading professionals.

Way 3 - Product Marketing Video
These have become extremely popular in the last few months as they provide all businesses with a way of providing an in depth view of their product or service. As well as being able to provide details regarding the products size, color and texture, these videos offer you the opportunity to explain fully the benefits of them to all your potential customers. When you use this way of how small businesses can build an online presence the videos you create do not have to be anything fancy, just make them as personable as possible. Then once created simply upload them to sites like YouTube.
