- A good website- As an internet marketing business, your website is the core of your business. Your website should be professional and effective.
- An email marketing service- Large or small, businesses still need to use email marketing as a part of their overall marketing strategy. Choose a provider that suits your needs and budget.

Next you want to set your goals for your Facebook marketing strategy. You want to increase overall exposure, create community engagement, and showcase your knowledge and products. Selling directly from Facebook is sometimes a challenge. You can’t push your sales on your fans too much. Make sure to have links when posting about sales, promotions, and products.
Research your audience. Know your demographic and seek to connect and engage them with appropriate social media content. Be sure to track and research your competition and see what is working for them. Be sure to measure your progress through Facebook Insights to see what posts are working for you.
