5 FREE Methods To Advertise Your Business Online

I hope everyone is having a great summer.

I often find emails in my inbox from Zrii I.E.'s who are looking for FREE ways to advertise their business.

So, here are my top 5 ways to advertise your Zrii business for FREE online:

1. Article marketing- Often overlooked. One of the most effective ways to advertise using SEO. Very few people are willing to do the work necessary. There are many great resources in the back office of Zfreedom to teach you how to do it. Plus, you can find great information on the internet. The key is to make your articles keyword rich, 300-400 words, and news worthy... not pitchy. If you commit to writing 3 articles a week for the next 6 months and follow what I teach, you will get lots of free targeted traffic.

2. Blogging- Again, this is often overlooked. Everyone wants the "cheap" but fast methods. Remember, money leverages time. If you don't want to spend money then it will take more time. Although article marketing and blogging can take time to see results, they are effective if you stick to it.

3. Forum marketing- Another free but powerful method. You can join different forums or discussion boards (business, MLM, marketing, teachers, realators, mortgage brokers, etc.) and start chatting with other "like minded" people. Just "google" whatever discussion board you are looking for and you will find plenty. Just remember NOT to advertise. You are there to give value to others by contributing to conversations. Just put your Zfreedom link (corresponding landing page) in your profile. That way people can click on it when they look up who you are.

4. Classified ads- Places like Craigslist are effective as well. There are many places you can leave FREE classified ads. I just wrote a new article in the back office under Marketing Tools that is called, "9 Proven Advertisements You Can Use To Promote Your Business". Make sure you read this... it will help.

5. Social Networking- Probably the most powerful FREE traffic generation method on the internet. Make sure you watch the MySpace tutorial if you haven't done so located under Marketing Tools in the back office of Zfreedom. There are hundreds of social networking sites that you can become a member of. Go to Social Networking Sites to find a list of social networking sites that you can use.


Add one or two or three (or all) of these methods to your marketing calendar.

The key is to take action when you've learned something new. You might not get it perfect the first time, but you will get better.

Have an awesome day.

Dave
