Your website will need visitors for you to earn money with
your internet business. The biggest challenges for those
starting a new internet business are limited resources and
money to run marketing campaigns; and limited knowledge on
how to cost effectively drive traffic to the website.

There are various ways of promoting your internet business,
and some are more costly than others. If you have limited
resources to spend on your advertising, then you will need
to know about the most effective and yet not very costly
methods of drawing traffic to your website.

1. Have an appropriate Domain name for your internet business

Although this seems very obvious, it is often
underestimated in its importance. It is ideal for your
domain name to have some of your internet business' key
words to make sure that you can be found when someone does
a search for your keywords online.

2. Word of mouth in your circle of influence

Everyon*e has a circle of influence; being people that you
interact with in your life. These people are your potential
customers; and you must tell them about your internet
business. This does not cost you anything. You just have to
list all the people you make contact with in your daily
routines and identify the best way of telling them about
your internet business. Call them, email them, write them
or give them your business card.

3. Email marketin*g

If you have another internet business already, it is
recommended that you email your existing customers or if
you have a newsletter, your subscribers list; and tell them
about your new online business. You can also email all your
colleagues in your email address book. The more people you
tell about your internet business, the more visitors you
will get to your website.

4. Your Email Signature

Your email will need to look professional, and you must
have in your signature the details about your internet
business website: the URL, the business name, email address
and other contact details. You can also set up different
websites for various purposes. Having your website address
in your signature in every email you send out is a cost
effective way to promote your internet business.


5. Submit your website to search engines and directories

This is another cost effective way of driving traffic to
your internet business. It is FRE*E if you can manually
submit your website to search engines and directories.
There are various companies that can submit your website
for you at a cost. For your website to be picked up by
search engines, you must have on your website high quality
unique content and your content must be keyword-rich.

6. Write and distribute articles

Writing and distributing articles is one of the very
effective ways of driving traffic to your website. There
are several objectives that are to be accomplished with
writing articles; namely to be picked up by ezine
publishers, other websites, and also by offline publishers.
By writing high quality articles on a regular basis, you
come to be viewed as an authority or expert, which will
further make your articles popular. In your articles, you
put a resource box to build back-links, or to sell. By
submitting articles, you have search engines pick up your
website and eventually, send you some FRE*E traffic.

7. Link Exchanges

It is important to create some links with websites that are
similar to yours so that you can get visitors coming to your
site via the link on your partners' websites. For your
internet business to be successful, you need a lot of
traffic. Creating links with partners can be time
consuming. If you can afford it, you can use a software
called The Link Machine which automates the process for
you. Although two way links are important, one way links
are even more effective – and you can create these by other
methods such as article submission, forum participation,
directory submission etc.

8. Forum Participation

There are a lot of forums or groups for almost any interest
or niche or business. Participating at these forums, with
your email signature that has your website, can help you
generate some targeted traffic for your site. You can get
more visitors through this, which will support the growth
of your internet business.

9. Offer Freebies

Giving away FRE*E gifts, tools or resources to your
prospects is a very powerful way of growing your internet
business. Because a visitor to your site benefits by
getting some of your freebies, they will be encouraged to
come back to your website again in the future, giving you
some repeat business.


10. Publish an ezine or newsletter

Ezines are a targeted form of advertising, and they can be
easy to prepare. Having an ezine helps you create a long
term relationship with your potential customers. Over the
long term, your subscribers will trust you and will do
business with you.

If you consistently use these strategies to promote your
internet business, you will see traffic to your website
increasing
