Here is 7 great marketing resources for small business owners.We all know that marketing is essential for any business to be successful online.Running a small business on the internet takes a lot of knowledge of different things, not just marketing.
You need reliable and up-to-date information about how to setup a blog, how to do search engine optimization, how to setup an email list and many other things related to running a business online.I know many online entrepreneurs who have taken the time and learned how to setup everything from scratch and others use small business loans to pay someone for setting up their online business for them.
There are lots of different marketing resources out there, but the problem often is how to find them.Searching for them directly on Google will necessarily not give you exactly what you are looking for, and the best marketing resources are often free.Here are 7 great places to get started.

WinningtheWeb.com is a blog that has a wealth of helpful information about running an internet business, but I visit the blog often for the IM Top Blogs list.It is a list of the top 370+ marketing blogs on the Internet.Just by visiting the top 10 blogs you will learn a lot of useful things you can use on your own site.
