Well I use <a href="http://www.nicheprivatelabelarticles.com" rel="nofollow">Articles to Market</a> my services. After writing or changing the pre-written articles I just submit them to the article directories and they then turn up on the net when people do certain searches. Obviously I need to make sure they are keyword targetted. But that is easy enough to do. Regards Justin Bryce www.lazy-internet-marketing.com You talk about the road less travelled.

You're right when you say you've got to choose your target (or niche) market. The answers you'll receive from your questions "I’m curious to hear what other online business owners are doing to reach out to their markets? Do you use traditional tactics or have you found your own road less travelled?" will vary from business to business and from person to person, since all depends on hanging out where your target market hangs out. You said "I soon discovered that it is very difficult to be, excuse the cliche, a small fish in a huge pond." The benefit of clearly and narrowly defining a target market is that you will become a big fish in a small pond instead. You hit the nail on the head when you say "I did a little research and found out that the answer is largely no." You researched your target, focused on a specific need in that target and did your homework to see if it's worth jumping in this pond or not. Please let us know how this tactic goes!!
