The Inbound Marketing Community And Inbound.org

The right marketing can have people waiting in line for your product while the wrong marketing will have your product in the bargain bin at big box retail stores. Marketers think they know what the public wants, but if they did there wouldn’t even be a bargain bin at big box retail stores.

 

 

Inbound marketing gives you the opportunity to address your customers by providing them with information they need regarding your product. This marketing technique is relatively new compared to outbound marketing. Inbound.org is a resource described as “hacker news for marketers” by one of its founders Rand Fishkin.

 

Inbound.org

The company was founded by the CEO of SEOMoz Rand Fishkin and Dharmesh Shah founder of Hubspot. This is a relatively new territory in marketing and the methods used for inbound marketing are constantly evolving as more people are using it to sell and publicize their product. The founders of Inbound.org want the site to be a resource where quality content from inbound marketers around the world can be noticed by everyone.

Do You Know What Inbound Marketing Is?

Simply put inbound marketing makes you catch the interest of your customers without buying it.

This attention is achieved organically by using different channels including:

 

  • SEO or Search Engine Optimization – it makes your site more accessible by using keyword research and making your content noticed by search engines
  • Content Marketing –  generating awareness and driving traffic by creating content such as videos, blogs, pictures and information
  • Social Media Marketing – using social media to get attention and spreading the news with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and other social sites

 

Inbound.org wants to make marketers aware of not only what is readily accepted as inbound marketing but new and innovative methods used by marketers everywhere.
