4 Essential Articles About Marketing
This week I’m going to focus on marketing and today I have four articles for you. There are many different aspects of marketing and I’m not going to fixate on any particular angle but provide you with a bunch of articles which you can choose which direction you would like to go.
Social Network Marketing: Getting From Zero to Critical Mass
This is a great article from Andrew Chen. In it he talks about building a social network and how difficult it can be. If you are looking to start a social network or a forum or even a newsletter, than this is a must read article.

This article is from the Wall Street Journal and basically talks about why people give things away and why it’s important. Back in the day (which the author describes as anything before September of last year) someone would come up with a great idea, raise money to start it, let as many people use it for free, and then sell it to a bigger company. MySpace fits that model to a T. Read this article if you planning on starting a business online.
