Put it on your pens, caps, coasters, t-shirts. Put it everywhere. Site Promotion Tip #2If you are not going to have me do your site promotion, go ahead and do it yourself at www.submit-it.com. For about 60 bucks you can promote two websites (it's the minimum buy). Follow the instructions and you are on your way. Site Promotion Tip #3Do a newsletter. Check out listbot.com. That's where I got mine. Site Promotion Tip #4Get the sig file (signature file) going on your e-mail so that your domain name goes out on every e-mail that you send. This little tool adds your contact information to every thing that you send out. You can find this in the preferences in your e-mail client. Site Promotion Tip #5If you are an expert on anything that is related to your industry, or even something that is unrelated (such as some sport or hobby), go to deja.com, join and start participating in discussion groups in your arena. But don't blatantly promote. Read the discussion group guidelines to find out what is acceptable in the particular newsgroup. Tip#4 will make your occupation and your website automatically visible to everyone. You may be able to ask for comments on your site. You can ask questions and if you answer them intelligently people will be drawn to you and what you do. Site Promotion Tip #6Give something away on your site: news, information, product knowledge, links to your industry, something, anything to give something back. The web was born and thrives in a spirit of giving and mutual entertainment. Put some energy in and it will be obvious and may well be appreciated and rewarded. Be involved with the web, not just selling there. Sure, open up a store, but then live, breathe, and shop in the community, Site Promotion Tip #7More to come..... (stay tuned, here and elsewhere...) There's always some new angle emerging... |
