Secrets Of
Getting Free Advertising!
By Libby Sinclair
The opportunities for getting free advertising for
your product or service is limited only by your own
imagination and energies. There are so many proven
ways of promoting your own website without cost.
*One way is to write an article that pertains to your particular subject matter and submit it to article submission sites. Submit your article to the category that best describes your theme and then follow the submission guidelines. Here are a few good article submission sites to get you started;
You need to become your own publicity and sales promotions writer. Get the word out by writing an informative article and establish yourself as an expert in your field. At the end of every article you write, be sure to include your "resource box". Your resource box sends readers to your website where you are selling your product or service. Include your name, the title of your website, the url and a 1-2 line description of your website.
*Another really good way to obtain free advertising is by becoming a guest on as many radio and television talk shows or interview type programs as possible. Actually, this is much easier to do than most people realize. Write a letter to the producer of these programs, then follow up with an in-person visit or telephone call. Your initial contact should emphasize that your product or service would be of interest to the listeners or viewers of the program - perhaps even saving them time or money. Here's a good place to start:
AJR Newslink
This site provides listings of radio and television
stations across the United States and nationally. Search
by state or category
*Other ways of getting free or very inexpensive exposure to your website is by distributing your business card every where. Hand out your business cards to friends and neighbors. Post your business cards on free bulletin boards in your area, including grocery stores, college bulletin boards, shopping malls and any place else you can think of. Here are 2 sites where you can make your own business cards for free:

*There is nothing in the world that beats the low cost and tremendous exposure you get when you advertise a free offer. Simply run an ad offering a free article, free ebook, or free software. Your ad should direct readers to your free offer, as well as your website where you are selling your product or service. If you offer your readers a free product or service, make sure they receive the free product or service. Don't be deceptive in your advertising.
These are just a few examples of how you can get free
advertising for your website. There are hundreds of ways to
gain free publicity - it's just a matter of unleashing
your imagination and creativity.
