3 Best Ways to Promote Any Site

(0 votes)

People often ask us, how do I get my site "out there" on the web? Here are the 3 most popular methods that we have seen:

  • Word of Mouth
  • Like-minded Web Sites
  • Advertising Services

Above all, promoting your site will cost, either in terms of time or money, perhaps both - but you generally get back what you are willing to put in. We often underestimate how spending a little time and money on our business may pay off...

Word of Mouth

You have a friend and you tell them about your site - you might even give them your business card. In-turn, they tell their friend, and that friend tells two more friends, so on and so forth.  That is word of mouth advertising in a nutshell.  It is the best form of marketing because it is very personal and therefore more memorable and relevant. Just tell your friends, family members and neighbors to check out your site and be sure to tell them how it may be helpful to them, or somebody they might know. Above all, it is easiest ways of getting the "word out" on your site.


Like-Minded Web Sites

Go out and find other web sites like your own, and see if you can exchange links and audiences.  For example, if you have a blog about growing your own vegtables, you might try to contact a garden store’s web site and ask if they can link to you - if you do a few blog posts for them.  The key here is that you should ensure that give something back to those other people or like-minded web sites who support you.


Advertising Services

The last fool proof way of getting your name out there is to use a service like Google AdWords to advertise your web site to the masses.  You don’t have to have a million dollar budget to get started.  Actually, Google AdWords makes it pretty simple to setup a budget to help you get the most bang for your buck.
