I liked the comparisons they made with the Budget vs. Brains. It was very easy to understand. With a budget, you're mostly thinking about the money; how much will get you so far. When you use your brains, you can become more creative with marketing and get more out of it; leads. So, how can you use your brains to do marketing with no money?! Simple, here's a list to start off with:
- TechCrunch
- RSS
- YouTube
- Technorati
- Del.icio.us
- slideshare
- itunes
- ebooks
- digg
- flickr
- viddler
- photobucket
- blip.tv
- upcoming.org
- revver
- yelp
- google groups
- podcast.net
- squidoo
- stumbleupon
- mixx
Did I leave anything out? :)
And most importantly, when you publish content to these sites listed above, make sure it's QUALITY CONTENT. Give the people something interesting to read, help them out with a problem, and they're (hopefully) buy your product.
I've been doing SEO research all month on how cheaply I can advertise a new site I'm working on. It looks like now I have a lot of work to do!
Also, here's a parody of a music video for inbound marketing to help with motivation: http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/4437/You-Oughta-Know-Inbound-Marketing.aspx
