You have started your own business and now you want as many people as possible to hear about it and see what you have to offer. Of course, you are aware that you will not succeed without good marketing, because no one will be interested in a product or service that they have never heard of.
Effective promotion is an essential condition for the development of a profitable and successful business. Effective promotion is almost as important as the quality of the product / service you offer.
However, aggressive promotion campaigns often require a lot of money. What to do if you can't afford extra funding for your ads? It is in such a situation that you have to put your creativity to the test. Here's how to advertise on the internet without spending a dime!
1. Promote your services on sites that offer free ads
There are indeed many free classified sites, on which you can post your company's offer or the services you provide. Such sites have their own interest, namely to earn through the premium lists, so the service will be charged, but your ad will be posted without spending any money. Also, one of the ways, though not completely free, is to promote the product / service through affiliate program sites. The good thing is that a potential buyer will find a link on such a site that will direct them to your site, to the pictures of your products, or to the general information about the services you provide.
2. Write a press release for the new products / services you offer
If you want to communicate something to potential customers, write a simple press release, and then post it on one of the sites that publish such content for free. Become PR on the social networks of your new business. Make sure that the content you publish is clear and appealing to readers. If you have the skills needed for a PR, your press release can also be published by the print media and the media, read and watched by millions of people, through which you get free advertising again.
3. Social media accounts have become a must-have
Start a business and don't have a Facebook page, Twitter account, or LinkedIn profile? What a beginner's mistake! First of all, you need to know that these are pages with a very high Google Rank. Opening accounts on social networks has become a "must-have" for a good start and promotion of the business on the market. Facebook and Twitter, for example, offer the ability to communicate directly with customers via chat or timeline, which is a huge benefit.
Social media is a gold mine that offers many possibilities, and with some minimal investment in advertising, you can attract a large number of customers. Yes, this is already a paid promotion method, but with minimal investment, and the results can be fantastic.
4. Post comments on the most popular blogs and forums
Feel free to read and post comments on blogs that have anything to do, even indirectly, with your business. Break 30 minutes of your time each day to write comments on blogs or forums, because in one of the comments you post you will be able to enter the link of your site or the link that leads to one of the networks you have opened an account. This is also great for promoting your site's SEO.
Be present on the specialized forums, which are closely related to your business. Sign up and actively participate in discussions. Provide solutions to exposed issues. Please note that you have not registered on the forum to post a comment from time to time in which you will link to your site - this may irritate other members and may be counterproductive. As for the site link, it can be entered immediately under your name, and will be displayed immediately after you post a comment.
5. If you want to be recognized by the world, use YouTube and Flickr
Multimedia content is the present and future of advertising. Video content is becoming more and more popular. Just take a look at your Facebook News Feed and you'll see that everyone is using OSL video.
Therefore, try to create a video in which you will present your company, product or service, which you will then post on other social networks. There are many free tools to help you create videos. The Flickr account assures you, through interesting photos, to present your field of activity, its advantage being that all the information can be found in one place. You can create photo albums that will show you what you're doing, but you can also include a link to your site or social media accounts.
So, if you are creative, you can advance in the field of advertising and marketing (guerrilla in marketing) without any money in your pocket. What makes the difference between a good manager and a mediocre one are good ideas. Ideas are often the decisive factor in making your business, small or large, a success.
