How to Promote a New Online Business? - Page 3

I did some research and found some helpful tips on how to promote a new online directory:

* Promote your directory via signature links on dofollow forums.
* Social bookmark your new directory with top SMO sites like StumbleUpon and Delicious. Although some of these sites are nofollow, do take note that they do result in wide venues to attract traffic.
* Offer an incentive to generate new listings such as a waiver of the initial directory fee for the first 90-days. After all, people love freebies or bargains.
* Lastly, submit a press release announcing your new directory. Don’t forget to use a hook to set your directory apart from your competitors.

That’s it! Hope this helps.

Hi!
There are few tips of promoting online business
Tip One

Create a blog based around your new online business. You may already have a business web site and be wondering why you would need a blog as well. A blog is another way to create links to your business’s web site to help build it up on the search engines’ ratings. A blog will be constantly updated with new posts and will help to attract new customers to your business. Use your blog to give information about your new online business; do not try to sell it. That is what your business web site is for.

Tip Two

Become an active member of many different forums that are under the same topic as your new online business. You want to become an active member of the forum so that you are not just spamming the boards. This will get you banned from the forums. Start discussions and give helpful answers and advice. Do not try to sell your online business. You can post a link to your business in your signature, but your conversations on the forums need to be about building relationships and not sales. This is the core of building a new online business.

Tip Three

One of the most effective ways to drive traffic to your business’s web site is through article marketing. You can hire a freelance writer to do article marketing for your new online business or you can choose to do this on your own. You will need to know about SEO, keywords, and submitting articles with links to different article directories to do this on your own.

Your site is your first product since you offer web services. You need to have a striking web design and good optimized content. But like javaongsan said, PPC is the best way to give your site a kick off.

Keyra · 09-11-2009, 03:48 AM

Indeed the design of your site matters, as well as the content on it. If you plan to make money with an information site you have to have over 20 pages of high quality content so that a visitor has reasons to return.
