5. Connect Your Online Shop to Other Marketplaces
It is an excellent way to diversify your income stream and get your products in front of a larger audience. Although it can be time-consuming to set up, it will pay off in the end.
It should be easy to set up your e-commerce solution.
6. Start Blogging
Google loves blogging. It boosts your SEO and helps organic search land more visitors to your site. Blogs don't just have to be about products. If you have a blog that sells clothes, customers will appreciate blogs about fashion tips and faux pas.
Blogs are a great way to promote new products, share information and build relationships with your audience.
7. Find Facebook Communities in Your Niche
These groups are a great way to get involved in the community and share your insights. When your name is well-known in these groups, you will be able to slowly and discreetly promote your brand (if allowed by the page).
Facebook groups allow you to connect with people around the globe who share your interests or have connections that can help you in the future.
You don't have to promote your brand, but just having your name out there could be another channel that leads people to your eCommerce store.

I'm just starting to do more marketing and these will really help.
I'm working on a blogposts and am looking for some places to post them; other than HubSpot I not sure where to post.
Any ideas on where to post would be helpful.
Thanks for sharing this useful post,

Depending on your niche you could consider Facebook, Pinterest, Reddit, Quora, Medium, Webtalk, LinkedIn.
What I did was set up a scheduling plugin so that I could preplan all my social media promotions to give me more time for writing. I use the Blog2Social plugin and you can try it out for 60 days for free and it's cheap to keep. There is a list of social media platforms to choose from within Blog2Social, you just put in your name for those social platforms that you have joined.
When I first started I couldn't get my head around promoting my posts, so I wish someone had told me this back then. Your New Post Scheduler Let me know if you need some help.

I'm promoting a couple of marketing software, and this training is a huge help.
I've also bookmark both sites, will definitely implement the Post Scheduler.
Can't thank you enough.

There are a few schools of thought here. Some people feel that you should send one out every other day but personally, I think once a week or even a fortnight or monthly will work. You don't want to drive your subscribers to leave by pestering them.
Different businesses need more and some less, that is why everyone has an opinion on this. Start simple I think. A happy, light email that is short, helpful, and sweet once a week will at least get you started. Better some than none.
