Once you have figured out how to make your own websites, the hard work begins. You need to generate traffic to it.

You will find that many people are literally “falling over themselves” to help you. But paying for help doesn’t come cheap. If you are on a tight budget and have not got money to spend on advertising, there are many free techniques at your disposal.

In this article I will be discussing two of the most popular free methods to generate traffic.

1. Without a doubt Article marketing is by far one of the most popular methods.

Also referred to as bum marketing, it is one of the easiest techniques for beginners to start promoting their sites.

In contrast to many methods, there is no learning curve and it is very simple to implement. Any inexperienced newbie can simply register with an article directory and start submitting articles straight away. The article should be around 300-400 words and contain an enticing resource box containing clickable hyperlinks to your site. Once it has been approved, it should then be distributed to other popular article directories.

The key here is to write and post on a daily basis, high quality articles which contain your targeted keywords.

If done well, the huge benefits entail:

Increased exposure on the internet
Improved page rankings with search engines
Expert to Platinum status, and last but not least….
Tremendous amount of targeted traffic to your website

2. Video marketing

It is definitely one big marketing trend no internet marketer can ignore. In the last couple of years, video sites like Youtube or Yahoo Video have exploded in popularity.  Read more...

There is certainly a number of different ways to jumpstart traffic to your website, many of which are quite costly. Having said that, there are also totally free methods to generate traffic, which when done properly will produce fantastic results.

These free methods however will not instantaneously bring an avalanche of visitors to your website. You will need to be patient and work at them methodically and regularly.

In this article, I will highlight a couple of methods which are easy to implement.

Discussion Boards

Speak about your products or services on internet forums and discussion groups.

There, you can demonstrate your expertise on a specific niche and showcase your products. Start a thread related to your market and encourage discussions on your niche subject.

You need to build up relationship with the forum’s members and establish yourself as an expert in your chosen field. Your positive contribution to the forum will entice people to purchase your products.

Remember to include a link to your website in your signature file!

Create a Newsletter

You should also make full use of newsletters.

It is essential that you keep people regularly updated with information relating to your products or services. Initially send them a listing of your products and then regularly write an interesting review on a specific product.

As the number of people signing up for your newsletter grows, so will the number of visitors to your website.

Reciprocal Linking

This is commonly known as link exchange. Basically it means swapping links with similar internet sites to increase traffic.

To do this you will first need to reach an agreement with another website owner. Both sites will profit from the link exchange by redirecting traffic.  Read more...

The first think to appreciate is there aren’t any get rich quick schemes out there, lots of promises of easy fortunes are really just a marketing ploy to get you to buy internet marketing courses and tools. Internet marketing takes time and effort but don’t let that put you off as money can be made – and lots of it by people who simply just plug away at it. Another great thing about marketing on the internet is that you can go at your own speed so is great if you can work full time at it or only able to grab a few hours after work or at a weekend.

To start with there are numerous ways of making money online via websites for example Pay Per Click advertising, Pay Per View Advertising, Drop shipping, natural Search Engine Optimization etc. The bottom line is people can make a fortune by just concentrating on one small area and specializing in it. It is better though to gain an overview by working your way through a complete course (see later) which shows you step by step what to do so you are not left trying to fit all the pieces together yourself and making a whole heap of unnecessary mistakes.
