5 Ways To Promote Your Online Business For Free

As you
know the cost of promoting your business is just outrageous. This is
especially true if you are just starting out. You get into this
business to make money and right off the bat you are being asked to
spend hundreds of dollars to promote your site or business. And in
doing so there really is no guarantee that you will get visitors to
your site let alone customers that are ready to buy. Fortunately, I
will be going over 5 ways you can promote your online business, and the
best part is that all 5 ways are absolutely free, well almost they will
cost you some time.

One of the first ways you want to promote your business is to write and
submit a press release. There are many press release sites that you can
submit to for free. What you want to do is write a good informative
story about your business. It would also be a good Idea to include some
information about you and how you came about starting your business.
This is a great way to get some interest and exposure to your business.

Next would be using traffic exchanges. Traffic exchanges are good in
that they give your business exposure to others trying to promote their
own business. What you are basically doing in traffic exchanges is
surfing for traffic, at the same time there are hundreds of others that
are doing the same thing. The more you surf the more credit you get. As
your credits grow so does the amount of times your page is shown. This
is a good way to get traffic to your site and a great way to build your
list.

Online forums are also another great way to promote your business. In
forums you will find a wealth of information from members who have been
in business for a while. The forum community is a great place to share
ideas and get feedback on your own projects. As you grow in the forums
you will find that you start giving advice to newbies who ask
questions. This happens fairly quickly. One thing to remember about
forums is that they are not a place to advertise your sites. You do
promote by having your signature file. It is included at the end of
every post. Your signature file links to your site, so the more active
you are in the forum the more trust you build. This will cause people
to click on your links.

Blogging is another excellent way to promote your site. All you need to
do is set up a blog and submit to it every day. After each post or
update make sure you ping the site so that it gets submitted to blog
directories. Another great way to use blogging is to surf other blogs
that have content relevant to your site. Read different posts and
submit comments to the posts. At the end of your comments make sure
that you include a link to your site or blog this way people who read
your comments and like what you have to say they will probably visit
you site.

Finally there is article writing. This is probably my favorite way of
generating traffic. The more articles you write and submit to
directories the more traffic and back links you will build for your
site. Also article writing is a great way for you to learn about the
subject you are writing about. If you want to write about a subject and
do not know too much about it, all you have to do is a little research
before you write the article. After writing a few articles on the same
subject you start to distinguish yourself as an expert in that area.
That is a good shot to your credibility.

As you can see these 5 ways to promote your business are pretty good
but they do take some time to complete. As they say nothing really is
free. But I can tell you from experience putting the time in to do
these 5 things consistently will do wonders for your business. So what
are you waiting for? Get Busy.
