Effective online marketing doesn't come without a price. And it is a very steep price, in many cases, as you may be planning to spend thousands of dollars on driving traffic to your site in a number of ways, such as Pay Per Click marketing and text links - by the time it's all over, your head is spinning, your coffers nearly empty and your site's traffic...has hardly changed.
However, everyone's favorite form of marketing is the free kind. And it is not surprising why it's so popular - you don't shell out a single red cent but are actually helping your websites earn more money.
We don't want to take much of your time, so read up on these three ideas to help you market your website without paying a penny.
Free Business Cards
Free business cards should feature in the key plays executed from your marketing and advertising playbook. Anywhere you may be, any time of the day, you can randomly hand them out or leave them at any place. And in case you forgot, they don't cost you. Use them where you want, when you want, and as often as possible. The next time you receive a bundle of free business cards in the mail, let this be your call to arms.
Link Exchanges
Link exchanges are a great way of spreading Page Rank, but also of sharing visitors. They can improve your Page Rank especially if somebody bookmarks your site. Of course they would bookmark your site, and once they are through reading your site, they will move on to the site that you linked to. It's a win-win situation for you and your partners in the link exchange.
Networking with business cards in brief
After you have received your free business cards, use them to network with other people. Everytime you meet someone, hand them one. And once you do, then it's time for you to ask them for their business card in return. But of course not everybody has business cards, so if they don't, let people know about your line of work and your website address on the card. In a way, through your networking attempts, you are letting your free business cards "pay it forward" for your business. Since these cards are free, and we repeat, FREE, don't be shy to use them. You can use them anywhere in just about any situation! Imagine the number of people who waltz home, pull out your card, and visit your website upon noticing it on there.
By utilizing one, two or three of these free website marketing ideas, you may find your website reaching new heights...all without having to spend anything more on advertising!
