If you are starting a website, the website maybe of small scale like a brochure website for real estate, restaurants or hotels or they maybe for some higher purpose with added functions. In the end, you will still need to have a game plan. Now, is this game plan something totally different than what you may have learned in classic business administration or marketing?
Facebook and Google are only venues and channels that pave traffic to go to your website. But they are only a fraction of what Internet marketing actually entail.
The general and basic principles of your internet business must be addressed first like any other offline business. You need to have a specific pricing plan, a niche target and daily operational agendas. Without these, it would almost be useless to start marketing in Google, Facebook and other communal websites.
