So what about FREE advertising? All you need is to invest a little of your time each day and you will generate income. Here are 7 proven ways to promote your business online or offline for FREE.

1. Blogging

Writing a blog about your product is one of many ways to promote your opportunity. You have the ability to write as many blogs as you want and ping them to other blog networks that have tons of traffic every day.

Now some people will say that blogging is dead, but not really, what they don’t know is that when you write that many blogs and they are all over the net, search engines pick them up and give you even more traffic. If you need help finding blogs, simply type “Blog Directories” into the search engine and ping them by going to ping-o-matic.

2. Items

An article is what you are reading now, simple and easy. It could be a review of your product, a testimonial for that product, etc., it’s up to you. A good article is around 300-500 words and shows that you know what you are talking about. A good article might be about a “How To” everyone wants to learn how to do something right.

Once again, the more articles you write, the more traffic you get to your site. To find article directories simply go to any search engine and type “article directories”.

3.Social networks

This is one of my favorites because you can meet people who have the same interest as you. I’m sure you’ve heard of “Facebook”, “Myspace”, “Twitter”, etc. These sites alone have millions and more signing up every day, that’s a lot of money waiting for you.

When social media is key to building relationships, you won’t want to sell something right away, you’ll make very little sales to meet people. Post blogs, comment on other people’s blogs, join groups and leave your opinion. When using this method, you need to focus on what the other person’s problems are and what they could benefit from your product.

4. Videos

Videos are another very powerful way to get your product in front of people. Millions of people watch videos every day and know that they could use them with their iPod or iPhone, so take advantage of this method. Just like anything else on the internet, the more videos you have on the net, the search engines will pick them up.

You don’t have to have your face in the video; it could be a simple power point or it could use video capture. “Camstudio” is a FREE video capture software that captures what’s on your computer screen.

5. Ads

When I say ads I mean FREE ads like “CraigsList” or “BackPage” etc. Once again, millions of people search these sites for jobs, business opportunities, or whatever. All you have to do is put together a simple ad, place it in the right section and that’s where you’ll get more traffic to your website.

You have to be careful and try not to place too many ads that make you lose your ad and you did all that work for nothing. Place ads in major cities and try to make your ad creative. If you need help writing an ad, go to the search engine and type “how to create an ad.”

6. Disconnected

This could be fun and gets you away from your computer and enjoys life a little bit. You can leave flyers on windshields, leave ads in publications, go into stores and place your ad where they allow it, leave business cards everywhere, etc.

This is different because not many people are doing it these days and it will make you a lot of money. Get creative with it!

7. Cold calling

There is a website that gives you FREE leads, it’s called “OrangeLeads”. You can get as many leads as you want, there is a section of leads that come with names, an email, and another section with phone numbers. These are people who want to make money from home, you can call them.

When you call someone, you are separating yourself from everyone else who is just sending emails or messages, wanting to know that you are real and not just taking money.
