6 ideas to promote your website for free
If you already have a website up and running, but don’t have targeted visitors, check out 6 Free Ways To Promote Your Website:
* Using videos
Videos are extremely powerful if done right. Pick a topic that you feel comfortable talking about and create a video series. You can post these videos on our blog, but be sure to upload them to YouTube and other video websites as well. You can also choose to have just a text post on your website and the video on the video websites.
Be creative. There are many types of videos. You can just show your screen, you can record yourself, whatever you want.
Make your videos interesting and engaging.
* Podcasting
Podcasts are becoming more popular every day. They allow you to connect directly with your audience and there are many people who prefer podcasts to read a post or watch a video. Test it.
* Use of forums
Start by creating a spreadsheet of all the forums in your niche. Open an account with each of them and create a signature with one or two links pointing to your website. Then look for threads where you can give a good idea. The more answers you give, the better. This will not only have more links pointing to your website (within your signature) but will also allow you to become an authority in your niche as other people in the forums will start to recognize you.
* Articles
Although they are not used as often today, it is always nice to have links pointing back to your website. And with article sites, you can have this through the “Resource Box” at the end of the article.
* Comment on other blogs
There are many blogs that still have their comments open. Just make a list of the best blogs in your niche and check off the ones that allow you to link back to your website. Then once a day, go through all the blogs you found and see if you can leave a relevant comment. Make sure you don’t spam or say anything redundant. Your credibility is at stake here.
* Guest blogs
Guest blogging is quite common today and there are many blogs that accept guest posts. Again, you need to make a list of the most relevant blogs that accept guest posts and watch their guidelines carefully. So, just follow them and try to be accepted. Make sure the blogs you choose allow you to have at least one link pointing to your website.
Each of these methods works on its own; but it is much better to use them all to see more results sooner. Consistency is key, and over time, you will see steady growth in your new visitors and returning visitors to your website.
