How to promote online business website other than advertising?

What is the most effective way to promote online business other than putting ads? Any idea? Please help if you have the most effective way. Thanks

 

Hi,
IMHO, the efficient way to promote your online or offline business through internet is applying Search Engine Optimization (SEO) all along.

You can try do some social networking by opening fan page for you online business

 

Join many social networking sites like twitter and get many followers, your follow will be able to know when you have updated your business and you may get some good click throughs

 

Try free social networking (facebook, twitter, etc) going the free route will obviously take alot of time out of your day, but it wont cost you anything!

All the best.

 

i never know how to define "advertising" vs. marketing in the online world - but if your just looking to promote the site without paying, then get the word out any way you can... social media, email, and generally getting the "buzz" out by creating "buzz".

 

I think there is a lot of think that you can do, in online business it related with SEO.....
Just try to find any thread about SEO in this forum or you can search in google......

 

Use craiglist, social network, article submission and forum posting
Of course, it will be better if you can do some SEO

 

You can try email marketing. It is just a method of marketing through email. Some sort of advertising tool has to be employed to reach customers.

 

FANPAGE on Facebook! Or affiliation with other companies.

 

Accoding to my experience, log in forums related to your website and post with direct links. these links will increase your sites

 

Or if you can write articles related to your website information and find related directories for posting. It is great way.

 

Hello,

SEO is the best technique to promote your business worldwide.

 

All the regular ways have been mentioned. But remember, everyone else is doing that so much competition. It is possible to be more creative though, depending what business you are in.

 

I agree with all above, however, the first thing to consider is to select 1-2 key phrases. All this SEO stuff makes no sense without very-very limited set of keywords. With a tons of keywords, there is no "optimization".

 

There is more to having a successful website than promoting it. What happens after visitors get there? You can promote and drive all the traffic in the world and still do very poor business. I looked at your A1 Affiliate Tips site and it inspires a very low level of confidence. The first 2 sentences are loaded with spelling and grammar errors. There is no such thing in English as "If you want to make a good money". Anyone reading that is going to get nervous about the site, because it isn't professional. It says you don't care enough about it, and don't care enough about the presentation you make to the public, to invest in simple copywriting and editing.

 

Social networking like twitter or Fb can be a solution

 

Word of mouth. I think you can do creatively in forums and social media sites. It does take some time but the benefits are good. I wud also suggest you to do some offline marketing. Maybe spread the word in your neighborhood and maybe they would get interested and spread it to others as well.

 

Try Facebook Fan page or twitter.

 

Good ways to promote a website and business at very little cost are article marketing and video. Articles must be carefully crafted with good content and smart use of money words and it should be constant. One article won't do anything for you. It takes at least 30 of 40 dripped in daily to have an impact. Now days videos are a big deal because they are effective in getting notice quicker than articles. There are services out there similar to Traffic Geyser that can get the job done much cheaper than TG.
