My first recommendation to
gaining free exposure to your website is participating in
online forums and
message forums. I own 4 message forums myself and use them to my maximum
benefit. They are fun and they are a good way to get your name out there. If you
haven't used forums before you are surely missing out on traffic to your
websites.
Most forums, not all, allow
you to use a signature file at the end of your posts. So the more posts you
make, the more times your link will be shown. I don't recommend going out to
forums and making unwanted posts though. Join forums that you have interest in
and submit posts that have value and meaning. If you are on a forum and see a
question that you know the answer to, be sure to make that post and submit your
answer. The person that posted the original post is most likely going to read
your response and visit your link. This goes the same with readers reading the
post and responses.
Do you send email? Are you using your signature file? Make sure you are using a
signature file with all emails that you send no matter if it is personal or
business. You just never know who will see your email, especially if you are the
type of person that sends and forwards jokes to everyone in your address book.
Have your own domain or website? Be sure you are participating in link
exchanges. Each link exchange is a link back to your site. If you have joined a
business opportunity and cannot add links to your site, create another site that
you can use as your reciprocal linking page.
Create a blog on a
free blogging service such as
Blogger.com and begin posting about
your business. You could post your sales and specials. You could also create
product reviews on your blog and allow others to comment. Blogs are known to be
indexed fairly fast with the spidered search engines to post to your blog often.
Host an online chat or chats and teach others how they can work from home. There
are plenty of places and forums you can post your free online events. Even if
you host a party and nobody buys anything, make sure you get your guests info so
you can email them later.
There are definitely more then enough ways you can advertise and get your name
out there free. Once you get your name out there you can then advance from the
free methods to the paid advertisements such as magazine ads, newsletter ads,
etc.
