Advertising your website can cost a lot of money if you're constantly paying other people to do the work for you. Paying for Google Adwords, Facebook advertising, search engine optimization, and other marketing campaigns can get expensive quick. What if you could do the work yourself, saving loads of money and learning something in the process? I'm going to tell you a few easy ways to advertise your website online that will not cost you a dime.
1. Post your link on free classified websites.
Places like craigslist are a good start. I'm sure you've been there, but in the event that you have not, head over to http_//craigslist.org/ and post an ad. Its super simple to do and it gets immediate exposure. People are constantly searching and browsing for products and services on craigslist and you want to be a part of it. If your website promotes a service in your area, then you are the ideal candidate for this type of free website advertising. Even if you don't have a local business, you can promote your product or service on craigslist. People will stumble on your website and Google will see your link (make sure you put your URL somewhere in the post). You are sure to see some real results from people if you start posting on places like craigslist so get started as soon as possible. Also, don't limit yourself to craigslist, there are tons of other free classifieds websites and many local areas have their own.
2. Write articles and submit them around the web.
If you know anything about your industry or the services you provide, you can write articles about them. The benefits of doing this will be two fold. One, you can submit these around the web so people can read them. Two, Google will see that you are actively posting content on your website and they will give you higher rankings for it. A good place to start is your free website with WebStarts. At the very least, start writing content on your pages. Start a blog page and put articles on them. I would suggest creating a separate page for each article. Once you have a few articles, start submitting them to various article websites around the web. Things like ezine articles, articler, or articlebase will be good places to put your content. The more you have, the better.
3. Get free ad credits with your hosting.
Some website builders will give you free advertising credit with your hosting. WebStarts is very often providing free ad credits for Google, Facebook and others. At this time, you can get over $200 free ad credits for Google's adwords pay per click program. These ad programs will get your website in front of people who are searching for your products or service and will bring credibility to your business. You may end up spending money to continue these campaigns but at least you can get in the door for free.
These are just a few examples of free website advertising methods. I encourage you to exhaust all your resources while doing these and be on the lookout for more methods. Don't hesitate to look around the WebStarts blog for more great ideas and stay tuned for more help with your free website!
