By Erin Kewer
Do you ever wonder sometimes how you are going to get your website out on the internet so people can see it? Finding new places to advertise where nobody else does?
With the internet being so overloaded with work at home jobs, business opportunities and regular jobs it's hard to come across new, undiscovered places to advertise. Here are 8 tips to help you get your website seen:
1) Use message boards. There are lots of topics out there that you can talk about. Get to know people on the boards and introduce them to your company. The more friends you make the more they will trust you. Seek out boards on topics you enjoy. If you enjoy cooking, seek out cooking boards. If you enjoy music, seek out music boards.
2) Get a banner/button made. Exchange links if you can. It’s all about FREE advertising.
3) Plug boards. These are new to the advertising world. it’s a simple 88x30 button and you can submit it to a lot of work at home websites and other company websites.
4) Articles. Submit your articles to message boards and article directories. If you are a subscriber to an ezine, consider submitting your article to the ezine publisher for inclusion in a future edition.
5) Contests. Enter yourself in contests. Some websites have featured companies or mom/dad of the month where you can post your information on their site for a month. Once again FREE advertising. Sponsor contests. The contest you sponsor will be advertised, and your name and website will be attached as a contributor. Run your own contest and submit it everywhere you can, contest websites, message boards and sweepstakes sites.
6) Fillers. A lot of people are looking for fillers to put in their work at home packs. You send them your business card or flyers and they include it in their pack of information.
7) Free classifieds. This is another great way to promote your site. Some sites allow you to post once a week. Other sites allow daily submissions. Be sure to read over their rules before you post.
8) Myspace/Ryze. Myspace and Ryze are two great ways to network with other people that have their own home businesses. Join their networks and share your information about your company with other moms and dads that are also working from home. Also get great resources from these networks on how to build a successful business.
These are just a few tips to help you get your advertising going. There are lots of resources out there that you can use to help grow your business. Find good work at home resource sites to get updated articles and sign up for their newsletters. Join some networks and network with other work at home mom and dads.
