Free Advertising Methods

I’ve already mentioned some of many free ways to promote your online business. Classified ads is a big one, but I wanted to list some of the others as well. Try these:

Email signatures
Blogs
Banner exchanges
Articles
Forums
Safelists
Traffic Exchanges
Social Media- Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Giveaways

You might be wondering about banners because they’re not free. With most systems you pay a startup fee or membership fee. Included with many systems are promo tools which may include a banner. You can join a banner exchange and allow other people to place their banner on your site while your banner shows on their site. Each of these methods can take a long time to explain so I’ll use other blogs to explain them. Traffic Generation 101 has detailed training on all these subjects to help you understand them better.
