As a fan of inexpensive and effective ways to market and get my message out there, I’m continually searching for ideas to drive my communications. I have found that doing a blog and utilizing other online PR opportunities is a way to accomplish and compliment my Internet presence. Check out these sites if you’re like me and are looking for quick results in your online marketing efforts.

Blogcarnival.com is a community that creates online magazines. Each carnival is a collection of blogs and articles focusing on a specific topic. You can submit your article to more than one carnival. If the organizer likes what you’ve submitted, they’ll publish your work on their website and link back to your site.

Squidoo.com provides a forum for users to talk about specific topics that matter to them. MyLot.com is similar to Squidoo but is not focused only on specific topics.

Linkedin.com is an online network consisting of millions of professionals. Each user creates a profile (similar to a resume) with professional accomplishments. LinkedIn uses your profile to match you with colleagues, clients, and partners.

Blogtopsites.com is a directory of blogs. Weekly ranking of blog sites are based on unique visits to your blog. Same with Google analytics. I’ve used Google and found it to be easy to understand and user friendly.

Use these sites and prosper!
