ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS FOR FREE

 

If you’re starting a business and lack funds for promotion, look no further.

These days, more than ever before, there is an abundance of free advertising options. 

There are so many different ways to advertise your business for free of cost and many of which are to be found online. 

The old forms of business advertising, like in a newspaper or magazine, are of course still viable, but will cost you. 

Why bother paying for advertising when there are so many sources for free advertising online? 

The following sections will run through some of the best value advertising: 

Forums to Advertise your Business- 

A great place to start, there is a forum for just about any topic you can think of. 

Find Forums that relate to your business type, sign up for free, and get posted. 

Most will allow you a signature below each post. 

Transform this into a link to your site, and voilà! You get a free advertisement for your business every time you comment.

Facebook to Advertise your Business - 

Similar to the forum idea, Facebook is a great source of free advertising. 

Simply set up a business page, and fill it full of interesting facts about your company, photos, videos, articles, and other relevant information. 

Then promote it yourself, invite friends and get talking about it. 

Try to search for well-established groups with a decent number of members, preferably one that interests you or is relevant to your business sector. 

Create engaging posts on your business page, filled with valuable information that promotes your services and shares relevant content within the groups you have joined. 

Blogs - 

Your own blog is a perfect platform for writing up promotional pieces for your business. 

Don't just be restricted to text; use video, podcasts, images, and visual adverts. 

All these different formats can then be posted to appropriate repositories to maximise the amount of coverage each one gets, and remember, each one is another potential branch linking back to your website.

 

See these methods of free advertising through different platforms.

Articles -

Send Articles to Ezine, Go articles, associated content, etc. more the better to increase your chances of more exposure. 

Guest Posting -

Also, offering to write on other people's blogs is a good source of extra advertising and potential new customers. 

Video Marketing -

Send Videos to Youtube, Metacafe, yahoo videos, etc. 

Once again, the more the better, as each video will link back to your business website, thus increasing the number of visitors back to your site. 

Image Marketing -

Send your images to Flickr or Picasso, and be sure to add a good amount of text about your business, with more important links back to your site. 

Twitter to Advertise your Business - 

This powerful resource is a great way to further promote all the above features. 

Use a simple and attention-grabbing title with a link for yet another great mode of free business advertising. 

Just briefly, other free sources of advertising include the following: 

Business Directories -

Sign up for business directories; there's no end to them out there. 

Comment -

A simple comment on others' sites and blogs will often mean another valuable link back to your site. 

Email marketing - 

Try and put together a well-written and appealing email before, though, so it's not seen as instant spam
