My regular blog readers will recall that I have blogged about traditional "Outbound Marketing" and the newer non-traditional "Inbound Marketing" before.  As a refresher, Wikipedia defines Inbound Marketing and its opposite "traditional" Outbound Marketing as:

• "Inbound marketing is a marketing strategy that focuses on getting found by customers. This sense is related to relationship marketing and Seth Godin's idea of permission marketing. David Meerman Scott recommends that marketers "earn their way in" (via publishing helpful information on a blog etc.) in contrast to outbound marketing where they used to have to "buy, beg, or bug their way in" (via paid advertisements, issuing press releases in the hope they get picked up by the trade press, or paying commissioned sales people, respectively). Brian Halligan, cofounder and CEO of HubSpot, claims he coined the usage of the term in this sense.
  
  
• Antonym for this usage: Traditional marketing (outbound marketing) is a marketing strategy that focuses on finding customers by building brand awareness through advertising and promotion. In contrast to "permission marketing," a pejorative term for this type of marketing is "interruption marketing."

I've found that HubSpot provides extremely informative Inbound Marketing webinars and ebooks on a variety of Internet Marketing topics.  So, if you're interested in learning more about this topic I encourage you to follow them, as I do, on Twitter @hubspot, or like their Facebook Page at: http://www.facebook.com/hubspot.

Now, Chris Stone, talks about What's the Key to Inbound Marketing Success? in his blog, stating: "Patience. That's the secret to inbound marketing success."  Yes, I agree, patience is a BIG key to success in Inbound Marketing... Please read his whole blog for more insights.

Then in his blog, Dave Wellman, says that there are "Three Keys to Inbound Marketing Success", and I'll summarize here, please read his whole blog for some great additional information by clicking on the above link:

1. "consistently creating good/relative content that answers questions that your current and future clients are asking"
2. "create multiple offers that provide clients/prospects with information that they cannot easily find anywhere else."
3. "learn how to cultivate your current and new clients into raving fans so that they become active referrers"

Yes, thanks to both of these bloggers for their contributions and adding to our shared knowledge of Inbound Marketing success.   Those are good keys to success with Inbound Marketing. 

In my Social Media Consulting practice most of my Clients are Small Business owners that don't know the nuances of Inbound Marketing so I understand why they act with impatience, I thought that way myself, until I discovered these 10 Keys to Inbound Marketing success:
