How to market your website for free

Here are 8 of the most powerful free marketing techniques being used to promote websites and help people earn extra monthly income. These methods are also great to use to promote a product or service that you have.

Things You'll Need

• follow the steps outlined

Instructions

1. Writing articles targeted to certain keywords, with the right anchor text and tags can help generate a lot of traffic to your article or topic. Be sure to include information to your website, product, or service in the article so that people can easily find what you are selling or marketing. Write at least once of these articles each day for 90 days when launching an internet marketing plan.

2. Using nothing more than a simple $50 web cam, a free online teleprompter, some hand picked images you can get from a special web site, and the 'built in' movie making program that comes with your computer (or which you can download for free) - you can create, post and publish videos and create special tags that need to be embedded with each video. Use these videos to drive people back to your website and to give them free information or entice them to visit your website.

3. Becoming part of the fast paced community of blog sites allows you or any internet marketing beginner to create networks with people which can result in multiple streams of internet income for whatever you are doing online. Once you know how to participate in and even set up your own blogs - you can generate traffic to your website and start to add potential monthly income to your bottom line.

4. Okay - so here is one that you probably did not think of. Write a few press releases! Without question, the best way to launch any business is by selecting the right press release sites and then creating press releases, embedding them with the right tags, and then posting them in strategic places online. Many businesses and people use press releases to continually drive traffic to their website, products, or services.

5. If you are marketing a business opportunity, a proven method to finding people who are already sold on the business you wish to promote is called reverse marketing. Incredibly, there are tens of thousands of people online at any given moment who are looking for something like what you might offer. This technique allows you grab their attention to looking at your business very quickly. I will write more articles about reverse marketing soon, as it is a concept that is not that familiar to a lot of people.

6. Relevant and current content is the key to being ranked high on the internet in the natural organic listings. Using RSS feeds that are congruent with the focus of your business, product, or service is one of the best ways to create and maintain relevant content that keeps the search engines happy with your web sites and landing pages. You simply have to know how and where to find the best RSS feeds for your own business. Additionally, top producers online go on to create their own feeds. An RSS feed can add substantially to your website content and traffic.

7. Use social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, Flikr, Etc.
   Social networks have been adding greatly to the success to many websites, products, and services. They are still very much in their infancy, and very heavily used to create faithful consumers and loyalists of your site, product, and service. Internet marketers use Social Networks to cultivate, maintain and create new meaningful relationships and cult followings for their online businesses. Having your own spot in the social networks can only propel your business and earnings.

8. Another great way to market your products or services is by setting up your own paid referral program. Much like having your own affiliate program, having your own personal paid referral program can add tremendous dollars to your marketing initiative; especially if you market high priced ticket items. Most of the great marketing websites I have come across have their own personal paid referral program, however this is one of those initiatives that really depends on your product or service profit margin and your willingness to pay out dividends to those who market your product.
