I would recommend that you start off by focusing on one
method and then add the next and so one. I have tried to
attack all of these
at once and it is overwhelming. Since then I have learned to
focus on these systematically and have gotten much better
results.
First make sure that you have implemented the basic search
engine optimization techniques.
(Read through SEO Made Easy
and implement the suggestions.)
Next start writing articles. Use the content from your
website and your knowledge base. Put together a schedule for
writing at least
one article a week and submitting them to different
directories.
Now you can look for joint venture partners. Look for
someone who would want to sell your product. They can be in
the same niche if
they aren't selling a competing product. If your product is
complementary, they will probably want to offer your product
their list.
PPC is 'Pay Per Click' advertising. There are several
avenues for using ppc. The most popular is Google Adwords.
You write a classified style ad that Google places when your
keywords are typed in the search engine. You only pay when
someone clicks on your ad. Yahoo also their own PPC service.
If you are new to this,
Perry Marshall is an expert and trusted source in this
area. I would recommend that you at least sign up for his
free course.
You can advertise on other website, in newsletters, ezines,
and classified ad sites.
Issuing a press release is another way bringing attention to
your product or your website.
PRweb is a good resource.
There are several link exchanges. Be careful about not going
to a 'link farm.' Ken Envoy has a good system.
Traffic exchanges can be useful. I like
Traffic Swarm. You can set them up as your home page to
earn points every time you open your browser.
I have just scratched the surface on these topics.
There is a ton of information on each one. You can
take courses and buy books on earch topic. I will
continue to add quality resources as I find them. If
you are on my list I will let you know when I find something
that is going to save you time and money.
Make sure you sign
up and I will send you articles and information that will help you
get started and keep going. I will also be filling in the details
and the best resources available. |
