If you have a product or a service that you are trying to promote on the Internet, these are the two most effective avenues for you to look into. A sort of amalgamation of these too is having an influencer market your products. Influencers are basically charismatic personalities that have large followings on social media. You can hire them to review or sample your products, or you can just pay them to market the positive aspects of the products that you are selling.
