Do you have a website for your business? People who answer yes to this question are already marketing their products or services online just by virtue of the fact that they have a website online. Having a live website means the potential for curious Internet users to access your website. You may not be actively promoting your website but you may still find that your website generates interest in your products despite the lack of promotional endeavors; this is a form of passive marketing.
Do you take part in message boards and include a link to your website in your signature? Again business owners who answer yes to this question are already marketing their website online.

Do you ask for feedback from your customers online? This is yet another example of how business owners may be accidentally marketing their business on the Internet. Most business owners realize the importance of soliciting feedback from customers for business purposes and business owners who offer products online might ask for feedback in the form of online surveys. Although the business owners may be doing this simply for a business purpose that it is done online makes it fall into the class of Internet marketing.
We have already discussed several ways in which business owners may already be marketing online but what about business owners who want to have an increased online presence? Business owners who may already be marketing online accidentally may wish to launch a full scale Internet marketing campaign.
