I would like to know, what if social media did not exist how would a simple business owner you know be able to market my product or get the word around in the absence of the free advertising on social media?

The first thought when I read this was - that is difficult! And then I realized that some years ago we did not get to use social media. What we did was mainly related to SEO, article marketing, and paid adverts on online directories etc. It also demonstrates how far we have all ended up relying on social media marketing. Having said that it is important to avoid focusing on it only as other methods are extremely important too. Social media is actually the easier and more straightforward way to go about it I guess as you can reach out to customers much more easily.

I'm glad that you mentioned this. Some new marketers primarily focus just on social media as they believe that's where they would get their sales from. However, it's only one of many places. People need to realize that social media is NOT the only place to advertise!

Yes, I feel it is a very common tendency for marketers to base too much of their overall efforts on social media. It seems that this has led to a reduction in the use of other online advertising methods as well as SEO techniques, article marketing, forum posts and paid to click.

Well email marketing is a great way to market. I think it is about spreading your marketing efforts and not just focusing one way.

see i have a few concerns and issue with email marketing , do not get me wrong a simple email could go a long way but how do you make sure that email is reaching the right people, see from my knowledge a lot of emails well in this case forward emails since were talking about emailing multiple people get flagged as spam as soon as it hits the inbox and being that these emails get flagged as spam its hard to keep track on who you your actually reaching and who your not and that could potentially damage business

Apart from social media, you can do search engine marketing to gain traffic. If you start a campaign on Adwords, your website will appear on paid search list on Google search. The searchers might check your link if they find it interesting.
You can also market through email marketing. In order to do email marketing you need an email list and account on email service. You can use mailcheap for email marketing.

In the days when there was no social media to speak of yet, the main marketing way was by email. I remember when my husband promoted their office website, he used the email for the purpose. And so as not to appear as scam, he was so creative with the email that most of those who received the promotional email was intrigued with the website so they clicked on the link. I think they got hundreds of new readers everyday just with the use of the emailing system in promoting their office website.
