There are so many ways you can market your business online. These are just a few easy ways to get your started.
1) Have a Contest
Use your blog, social media, and/or Youtube.com to promote a contest with the prize being free product. Get people to vote on the winner, which will encourage sharing among the participants.
2) Make Smart Forum Comments
Find forums where your audience participates and make smart comments that show your knowledge about the topic, letting your signature line speak for itself.
3) Get Involved in Your Community
It will cost you time, and perhaps gas money, but the more involved you are with your local community, the more business you’ll get.
4) Publish a Kindle Book
Kindle makes it simple to publish, compile and edit your old blog posts into an eBook for your audience. Give it away free or sell it for 99 cents.
5) Give Away Free Reports
“Free” can be worth a lot these days. Create a great report – such as an overview of your niche – and give it away in exchange for email list sign-up.
6) Repurpose Content into Video
Make your Q&A posts into a video, or make any past “how to” blog post into video. Sometimes people like to see things in other forms.
7) Use Quora to Build Your Business
Quora is a free service where you choose at least five topics and then contribute to questions and answers that are relevant to the topic.
8) Become a Source to the Press
Whether local or national, becoming a source to the press can get you free media coverage. Check out HARO for more information.
9) Submit Press Releases for All Your Newsworthy Activities
If you’re not submitting a press release each month, you’re not doing enough.
