Tanmoy Deb emailed me very interesting question

Please elaborate the more about "Inbound Marketing"

To understand Inbound Marketing first you should understand what Outbound Marketing is?

Outbound Marketing

"Outbound Marketing" is where a marketer pushes his message out by participating in trade shows, seminars, or even an email blast to purchased lists, telemarketing, advertising...

Outbound marketing is getting less and less effective because we are creative enough to find ways to block it and so people now tend to move towards Inbound Marketing.

Inbound Marketing

"Inbound Marketing" is a type of marketing where you help yourself "getting found" by people already seeking information about your industry. This is mainly achieved by creating a blog or a website about product people are searching for and so Instead of pushing to customer, create useful content and tools so that customers call them for more information.

Example

Let's take a simple example. I provide an email marketing services to clients at PeoplesDB.com (or you can purchase and handle yourself at Aweber). Now instead of pushing people to find about the services I created this article on marketing which people can find and if they need Email Marketing can contact me.
