When starting off in business one of the first major tasks to get done is to get your product infront of people. This obviously is done by advertising. But for many an advertising budget just isn’t possible when first starting out. This is where free advertising can be very effective.
For free advertising to have a good effect on your business you are going to need a few things. Time, patience, drive and consistency. Free advertising takes alot of time, but is well worth the effort in the end. And you will need to be patient because it won’t bring results straight away. So you will need to keep going, testing new sites, testing what ads are working and which ones are not. And stay consistent by advertising daily.
Finding what advertising sites work is going to take a lot of searching. So I would suggest that you advertise from 30-60 min per day and spend another 30-45 min looking for new sites to advertise on. Keep track on which of the sites are bringing you the best results, and which ones you can leave and look for new ones.
Because you are advertising for free, many sites are going to send you their own advertisements. So open up a free email account and use that when joining new sites. To keep your email account from getting full, simply empty it once a week or so.
Some types of free advertising sites are Traffic Exchanges, Link Exchanges, Classified Ad sites, Banner Exchanges, Free Opt-in Mail sites.
* Traffic Exchanges work by you surfing other peoples sites, and for each site you look at you will earn credits.
* Link Exchanges require you to add other websites links onto your website and Vise-Versa. This type of advertising can also rank you higher on the Search Engines.
* Banner Exchanges are like Traffic Exchanges but you will put other sites banners onto yours and again each time they are shown you will earn credits.
* Classified Ad sites are pretty straight forward. You will be able to place your ad for a certain amount of time. That could be a few hours to a few months. The longer the ad stays on the site the better chance of it being seen.
* Free Opt-in Email sites you can advertise to every member. But they can also send you their email ads, so this is where you will need that free email account. Depending on how many of these sites you join, you will be better off having an email account for each.
Free advertising lets you keep all of the profits that you make. It is a great way to build your Internet business without spending your hard earned cash. So you can save your money until you can afford to pay for advertising. Just remember, all you are giving up is time, so you have nothing to lose just to gain. Stay focused and consistent, and before you know it you will notice that you are getting good results.
All the best,
