When it comes to promoting your home business, it's easy to get overwhelmed or lose sight on what to do next. Here's a concise, straight-to-the point list about the best online promotions for your home business. Print it out and keep focused on what you should accomplish next by checking each one off as you accomplish them. Note: These are not listed in any certain order and it is advisable to educate yourself about each promotion before spending your advertising dollars on any advertising campaign. *Create Pay-per-click ads. (*Keyword-targeted ads allow you to target your potential customers easier.) *Create a "sticky" website.(*Meaning, provide useful content or other means of attracting visitors to return to your website again) *Create your own affiliate program. (*Allows you to pay others a commission for referral sales. You don't pay for advertising, just a percent of the sale.) *Distribute free reports to your customers and website vistors, offer ecourses or other incentives for signing up to your mailing list, etc. *Create your own rss feed for your site to syndicate your fresh content. (*Blogs are also a great feature to add to your site and usually already have an rss feature.) *Create Press releases. *Submit your site to directories (*This provides a link back to your site; try to avoid most directories that require a link back) *Purchase ads on directories that are relevant to your site. (*Particularly niche directories pertaining to similiar interest) *Offer testimonials on other business owners' products. (*Many times they will provide a link back to you or at least provide your name. Your name should become familiar around the internet, hopefully as an expert in your related business area) *Create a newsletter and start collecting a database of interested "potential" customers. *Swap Ads with other newsletter or ezine writers. (*Much more worthy of your time than banner swaps. This helps each other gain more subscribers. Your subscribers are your key to getting your information, products and services in front of potential customers time and time again.) *Add frequent, fresh new content to your website. (*Again your rss feed will help you announce fresh content to the search engines almost instantly. Fresh content also provides an incentive for your visitors to return.) *Write your own articles and submit to article directores (*Ad your URL in your bio.) *Make your site interactive by adding a message board, chatroom, polls, games, drawings or sweepstakes, etc. *Offer something free if possible or a free drawing. (*Word-of-mouth marketing is the key here. People like to brag on what they got free. But, just don't overdo the free stuff. Your visitors might start expecting only free stuff from you.
