When you are just starting out with your online business, marketing can be a tough sell for your pocketbook. You may not have the kind of budget you need to get the word out about your product or service. However, you can market your new site and your expertise with no cost to you except some time and effort. Here are ten effective ways to market your site for free:
1. Search engine submission This should be your first step when you create a website. Avoid any services that charge you to submit to a number of sites. Most of these sites are too small to bother with and you can find the larger ones on your own. Also submit to niche sites, such as search engines for your area or industry.
2. Linking Establish a links page on your site as soon as possible. This will allow you to swap promotion with other relevant and quality sites.
3. Blogging This form of updating your site is a wonderful way to stay in touch with clients and potential clients. You can post as often as you like and the more posts you have, the more hits you will get on search engines when people search for the topic of your post.
4. Newsletter This is one of the best ways to build a loyal customer base. You can start an informative newsletter that will go out to a targeted audience. Start a sign up box on every page of your website to let people submit their email addresses. They will pass the newsletter to others if it is of good quality.
5. Viral marketing Viral marketing is the use of products sold online to spread the word about your site. You can sell ebooks, samples, and mini courses that will include links and references to your website.
6. Forums and bulletin boards Post regularly on forums and bulletin boards that target your potential customer base. You are not allowed to promote your site in these posts, but you can use a signature that includes your web address or perhaps some link to a viral marketing product. Check with the forum guidelines before you post.
7. Article distribution Write some articles with your customer base in mind. They will consider you an expert and refer to you for future needs. You will get a signature section where you can tout your expertise or promote your product and link to your site. You can find article distribution sites by searching on the web.
8. Article swapping You should always allow for rewrites of your articles with the inclusion of your bio at the bottom. This will spread the word and allow for multiple publications. Also reprint the articles of related experts on your blog or in your newsletter to encourage reciprocation.
9. Cross promoting You can also start partnerships with other websites that allow you to cross promote your services, newsletters, and other products.
10. Networking There are online business networking opportunities available today that allow you to join and reap the benefits of swapping articles and job leads.

Among these magnificent benefits is the chance to be able to promote your business, any business, online, free of charge! It doesn't matter if your enterprise is a purely online or offline venture, the World Wide Web is home to a great number of marketing opportunities that you could avail of, with no damage to your business' budget whatsoever.
Advertising can be a big problem otherwise. A lot of companies reserve a big chunk of their budgets to cover marketing expenditures. Sometimes, these gambles pay off, but there are occasions when they fail miserably, putting to waste some good money that could have been used in other areas of development for the business involved.
But with the many channels available online, marketing has become a less risky course of action. There so many avenues available online where you could advertise your business for free and attain more exposure for your products or services. Here are some of them.
1. You could advertise through your own website. Ordinarily, you should pay a nominal fee for web hosting and your domain name. A paid web hosting service is more reliable. Your own domain name would impress upon your visitors an immediate sense of professionalism. But if you don't want to spend for them, there are a lot of free web space providers on the Internet!
2. You could advertise through other people's websites. And you could do this in a lot of ways too! You could create a banner that would summarize your business' offers and have it displayed on existing pages. Or if you have your won website for your business, you could use the said banner to link to your pages, or you could even settle for simple links. Additionally, you could have other webmasters rave about your venture and they could talk about it in their own websites.
3. You could create your own affiliate program. By giving commissions as incentive, you could invite a lot of Internet users to become your affiliates. Each affiliate would work to help you make a sale. It's like having a battalion of sales representatives that you'd only have to pay if they manage to refer a willing customer!
4. You could try viral marketing. Viral marketing is the online equivalent of word o mouth advertising. By giving away something for free, for as long as that something has a link or a simple reference to your business, you're encouraging the recipient to spread the word about your business to the people he knows. This would result in the exponential expansion of your business message like wildfire.
5. You could advertise in online communities. Forums and mailing lists are popular venues that could likewise convey your business message. Membership to these groups is usually free. Additionally, you could also create your own mailing list and start capturing leads for future sales by doing some helpful follow-ups.
The Internet is a great place for promoting your business. There are five million people online at any given time and the world is, quite literally, your market. It would be best for your business to capitalize on this wonderful opportunity and expand your audience a thousand fold bigger!
And you wouldn't even have to spend a penny while you're at it.
