Faster Marketing

Hi,

I'm pretty accomplished when it comes to marketing a site over a long period of time. SEO, marketing, and bringing in clients after 4-6 months of heavy marketing.

As I start up another endeavor, I'd like to trying bringing in some business right from the beginning. I'm interested to hear some of your idea's.

I'm not talking about getting started with SEO, like getting backlinks, those are all a given right now, but don't bring results right away.

As I'm not working with a huge budget to begin with, Buying ads on CNet or the like is just not possible at this point in the game.

Here's what Ive been thinking...

1) Some Google Adwords/Overture
2) Focusing mainly on JV's with other sites in my niche. Not my competitors, but linking together to offer services that would compliment mine.
3) Affiliate & Referral Program

Anyone else got any ideas?

try to find forums talking about your area and participate on them without spamming them. that would give you some brand awareness, and you could find some good deals there.

Doing that right now

I would try using AdWords at first, and if successful transfer the campaign over to Overture.

Paid search is the way to go for fast, trackable marketing, whose spending is kept to reasonable levels.

I agree that PPC is the fastest and easiest way to quickly bring new customers to a site after SEO. The problem with PPC is cash flow and tracking ROI.

This is pretty much confirming everything I originally thought. Thanks everyone.
