Whats the difference between marketing and advertising?

Hi, Great post. It's not easy to open a small business. Most small business fail (statistically). I lost a lot of money trying to open a website. I was really down about losing my money when a friend introduced me to a really cool way to get started on the web. There's a company that matches companies selling products with people that want to promote the products (the name of the company is Keep Clicking). I joined for free (actualy, they paid me $10, but I didn't get that until I had $50 in my account which took me about a month). Most of the products I promote are free trial offers (it's kind of like magazines where the person can try a month free). The products usually ship for $4, and I get about $17! So I have no inventory, and I made over $1,200 last month. Anyway, it's the best way to make money that I've seen, and it's free. Best of luck to you! http://www.keepclickingmoney.info

Advertising is just one tool in the marketers toolbox.

Marketing might be defined as everything an organization does to create an exchange between itself and its customers/clients. Think big picture Advertising is one of many marketing activities. Advertising is a tactic to implement a strategic marketing or public relations plan. I would major in marketing and minor in computer science, and take courses in sociology and psychology.
