Being able to market effectively is everything when it comes to making money online. In fact, even businesses that is online needs to market effectively or else they will fail.

However, many small business owners don’t understand the exact meaning of marketing. One of the most common misconceptions is confusing advertising for marketing.

Here is the difference between marketing and advertising:

To begin to explain the difference between marketing and advertising we need to begin with the fact that marketing is much larger and broader than advertising. In fact, advertising is a part of marketing. But there is much, much more to marketing than advertising.

Obviously advertising is paying to get what you’re selling in front of other people. There are many different ways to advertise.

Online there are both ways to advertise and ways that cost money to advertise. Some of the free ways to advertise include writing articles, writing blogs, and creating videos on YouTube.

Marketing includes everything you do and everything that’s a part of your business.

Every email you send is part of your marketing campaign. Every forum post you make. Every Web site you own, all the content you put on the Web, And anything else you do that’s related to your business is part of your marketing.

Especially the way you treat your customers. Customer service is a huge part of your marketing. Always remember this: Everything you do is marketing your business.

You are either helping your business or hurting your business. So make sure that everything you do is helping you make your business better. Just keeping this in mind will help your business tremendously.

The difference between marketing and advertising should never be forgotten. If you think marketing is only advertising then you’re ignoring great chances to effectively market your business. And you’re probably hurting your business in ways you don’t even realize.

Too often small business people mistakenly think that marketing and advertising is the same thing. This results in a substantial amount of marketing being ignored. Then the business suffers because there are entire segments of marketing that aren’t being addressed. So you need to always remember the difference between marketing and advertising.

Always remember that everything you do that’s even remotely related to your business is part of the way other people see you and your business. Therefore it’s all part of your marketing and should be treated as such!

Best wishes for your marketing success,
