Free Ways To Generate Traffic And Leads For Your Business
This article provides a overview New marketers are often faced with little capital to start their advertising campaigns. As a home business developer and marketing mentor I often find capital for advertising is a problem. This article is an overview of the online marketing techniques marketers can tap in to and advertise their business or product to generate free leads and traffic. It may take more time but these are proven strategies that work and are bringing in a lot of traffic and new leads for the network marketer with virtually no cash down.
Writing Articles
Submission of articles to article directories online is a free lead generation strategy. Short articles work best of approximately 300 -500 word on your marketing topic. Once you have submitted your articles they are out there on the net generating traffic long term without you having to pay a cent for advertising. With paid advertising your advertising stops when you stop paying.
To help put your articles up in the top 10 searches in the search engines a article submission tool is recommended. A article submission tool will distribute your article to 100s of ezines and newsletters creating lots of backlinks. This tool is a paid strategy so invest in one once you are generating money with your unpaid strategies.
Some of the major article directories you can manually submit to for free include:
http://www.goarticles.com http://www.articlesbase.com/ http://www.ezinearticles.com http://www.articlecity.com http://www.articledashboard.com http://www.Isnare.com http://www.ideamarketers.com
Article marketing will generate 10 – 15 free leads a day f you commit to a plan and write 1-2 articles everyday and distribute them t0 5 -10 article directories.
Forums
Forums are a great way to participate in conversations on your niche market. The key is to join 2 -4 forums and post to them twice a day. Your signature file has your website details and each time you make a post your website is advertised and potentially can be clicked.
The aim of a forum is to participate in discussions to help each member. You must not be pitching your business. The signature file is there with your website and link for others to go to if they wish and if they trust and see you as a expert in what you are saying in the discussions. People has joined others businesses just by finding them in forums and being impressed by what they have to say. This is free leads for your market.
Video Distribution and Creation
Once you have an article written, you literally have a fresh new video script created. So take your article and create a Powerpoint presentation and record it in Camtasia or use a free software tool called jingproject.com. Or talk about your information videoing yourself with web-cam.
You will need to register for a you-tube account which is the 2nd largest search engine and is all videos. Here you can start posting your videos right away. To submit your videos to a number of video sites over the internet use the free video submission tool TubeMogul.com.
