For most of us new internet marketers, paying for advertising is always a problem because you are either broke or you are not willing to pay for it until you are certain the system/product/service you’re promoting really works. I remember asking myself whether there might be ways to advertise without spending money because I was broke. A friend of mine then shared with me a few tips that he uses that are free and easy to do.
1. Free Classifieds Sites.
These are sites that you can post your advert for absolutely free of charge. Do a Google search free classifieds and put your ad in as many as possible.
2. Traffic Exchange Programs
Well with traffic Exchange programs you submit your URL and surf a list of sites to earn credits for your website to be displayed. I have set an hour or so every week to surf sites in traffic exchanges to earn credits. You might also get to learn about some nice websites or programs while doing it, who knows?
3. Replying to SPAM emails
This is the most interesting of the lot. My friend calls it ‘giving the Spammers a taste of their own medicine’. What you do is set up a free email account with yahoo/hotmail that you not going to use for anything else. Then go into these ‘safe lists’, advertising forums, FFA links and leave your newly created email there. Then set up a vacation message in your email account. It could be something like;
I am away right now, I will check out your offer when I return. But in the meantime here is a great product/service that I fully recommend. Check it out at ……………and leave your URL.
Best wishes
Your Name
Then what happens is each time you receive a message an automatic reply like the one above will be sent out and in the process advertising your business.
I know most of these adverts don’t get to be read, but a few sign-up or sales here and there, can be realised and remember they are free so they are worth a try.
Cheers
