Promoting an online business should and can be simple, albeit at times it can be a little tedious, but there are ways around that.
The reasons for wanting to promote an online business are pretty simple as well. It is basically down to one thing and one thing only, getting traffic to your site. Whether that is a blog, a static website, a single page website, an article, or any of the other ways of illustrating your business or business components online.
The fact of the matter is that traffic is king, the more traffic you can get to your site the more likely you are to make those important sales, find new customers, gain the attention of advertisers or benefit from pay per click (PPC) advertising or pay per action (PPA) affiliate relationships. Ideally that traffic needs to be highly targeted with visitors that come to your site looking for exactly what you are offering.
Some of the better known methods of promoting your site are as follow:
- Website optimization techniques such as SEO , most popular
- Banner advertising where you put your adverts on 3rd party sites
- Putting in place back links to your site, part of SEO really but can also provide a direct route back for traffic in addition to establishing page rank
- Free incentives, giving away something in order to create a buzz about your website or blog that attracts visitors
I have highlighted the last bullet because that is exactly what I want to discuss further and, surprise surprise, I want to offer you a free gift. There are several parts to this offer:
- You get free online training in how to use social media sites, common software programs and many other PC software programs
- You will have access to a selection of some of the best software available on the Internet for free, also in the knowledge that is has been tested for safety and is completely secure
- You will be able to share this free gift with whomever you like with no strings attached
- You will be able to upgrade this package to access 24 hours a day 365 days a year PC support; there is a cost associated with that. But of course you decide if you want to pay for that facility or not, there is no obligation or up front payment to get the free package.
- You will have the opportunity to fully evaluate what is available through this free package and decide if you would like to promote your business using this tool and/or potentially generate an income through this system
All you need to do is click on this Smart Media Desktop link and then download the program by clicking on the ‘Click Here for Lifetime Access’ button. You will need to provide some contact details.
So what do I get out of it, simple, one of my online businesses gets free promotion every time the ‘Smart Media Desktop’ gets shared. This is a good example of viral marketing using free incentives and one which is available to you if you like what you find.
You can also find out more about the business on the Home Business Opportunity page.
I can see that getting traffic to a blog is critical for any possible chance of success. Not always easy to do though.

No getting traffic is one of the more difficult things to achieve and can require some innovative ways to get the ball rolling. That’s why so many different ways need to be considered and pursued.
The free gift option that is being used on this post is a great way to get a bit of a buzz started about a blog or website. People can take the free gift and share it and in doing so market your site bringing in more traffic.
The additional benefit this free gift offers is the option to upgrade and then use the tool to market your own business.
A lot of online promotion, once you know how to do it, can definitely become tedious, unless (in the case of social media) you enjoy talking to lots of other people.
Giving something unique away is definitely a great idea. Let some people see it, and try to get some testimonials on your giveaway – that will make it more likely that others will sign up for it and opt-in to your website.

Hi Kristi, many thanks for the comment. Yes the testimonial suggestion is a great idea. I always use testimonials to help promote my holiday business and it definitely works. I can certainly use my own testimonial at the moment because I have the fully subscribed version and the service is brilliant, if you need PC help you just connect to an expert in the problem areas and they sort it out for you. Really useful if you are busy all the time.
Yes, getting traffic is the hardest thing for all us marketers but I believe once the hard work pays off you can begin to start outsourcing and free up time do do other things. I also think if it was that easy, everyone would be doing and it’s certainly not that easy.

Getting traffic is much more difficult than it used to be, but not impossible. There is a repetitive nature involved in getting your presence felt on the Internet which can to an extent be automated usually at a cost, or outsourced which again can cost. When you are earning enough to pay those costs it does help, plus you can concentrate on the one thing that probably got you to this position in the first place, providing quality information or services that people are interested and want.
I’ve heard most of them except for Free incentives. I’ve been dying to try viral marketing. I heard that it’s one good way to increase your site traffic. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely try this.
