I am looking at ways to market this on the Internet. I'm going down all the usual channels i.e. social media, blogging, submitting articles with a signature, forums etc. but really I need to try and pinpoint the people who would specifically need my service - those more in the 25+ range,I think - and who would be willing to pay for such a service (although my fees are very affordable). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

It many lower "coversions" but adding traffic to a money making site will still increase sales even though the conversion rate may suffer. I dont' know about you, but i will take the sales every time. The advent of so many differnt social media sites/platforms have been a boon to many older internet marketers.

If you will try any of these tricks today, its quite impossible to get top ranking.

Most visitors does not equal better conversion rate. You might have more actual conversions, but the conversion rate is the percentage of people that engage in business versus those that visit. Social Media traffic is usually NOT targeted traffic, which is why the conversion rates are lower. @ Michelle - I have not looked much into Social Media conversions versus offline advertising, but I know SM is exponentially less expensive. For affiliate marketing, please be aware of the new FTC laws that go into effect on December 1st that will affect how you promote affiliate products and services online. @ Eric – This simply is not accurate and that is the basis of my post.

Blogging consists of maintaining an ongoing chronicle of information online. Short for "web logs", blogs have become an extremely important part of the social media landscape. Well written.

I have always doubt what is about a website that will bring people to it. Now I have made out that the biggest factor is usually search engine marketing. It is, truly, becoming important in the marketing process of any online presence. Search engines can drive very qualified traffic to a website. If someone is searching for what your site has, then that makes your site more important for them. What is the most essential part of marketing a website?
