3 Free Website Marketing Ideas
Online marketing isn’t cheap. You can spend thousands of dollars on Pay Per Click (Google Adwords) and thousands of site-targetted dollars (AdBrite), and you can spend thousands just buying text links from individual sites. Trust me, I’ve spent thousands on advertising.
However, my favorite form of marketing is the free kind. Anything free I like, especially if it helps my websites make more money without increasing my advertising costs.
Here are three easy and quick ways to market your website at no additional cost.
1. Free Business Cards
Free business cards are a staple in my advertising arsenal. You can leave them everywhere and give them to anyone. The best part is, they’re free! Use them where you want, when you want, and as often as possible. That’s the motto I live by whenever I get a shipment of free business cards in the mail.
2. Link Exchanges
Link exchanges are a great way of spreading Page Rank, but also of sharing visitors. Most people who like a site will bookmark it. After they’ve read everything they want, they’ll read the site that you link to. You get the visitors, and share the visitor through a link exchange.
3. Business card networking
After you’ve received your free business cards, use them to network with others. Everytime you meet someone, hand them among your free business cards. After that, invite among their business cards in exchange. If they don’t have one, make sure you mention what you do, and the website address that’s also listed on your free business card. Free business cards make a great networking tool if you’ll put them to use. Never forget, they’re free, and shouldn’t be used sparingly. Use them in any situation you can think of. People will take them home and visit your site when they pull your business card out of their pocket.
With those three free website marketing ideas, your website won’t only be more successful, but you won’t have to spend any of your hard earned money on marketing!
