Which Are the Best Low Cost Ways to Market Your Small Business?

I grew up with a father who turned the heat down to 50 degrees at night, shut off lights practically before you left the room and took great pride in seeing how many miles he could get out of a gallon of gas even when it was only a dollar a gallon. Like my father, I don’t like to waste money on marketing my small business when there is a free or cheaper way of doing it.

Here are a couple no-cost, low-cost small business marketing ideas you can use to grow your business.

1. Get publicity for free
I write marketing articles regularly and then send them out to over 800 online and offline publications. This gets me a ton of free publicity, not to mention traffic back to my web site. You can use the same marketing strategy to get slightly famous, become known as an expert and generate traffic and leads.

2. Get web site traffic for free
I get almost a thousand visitors each day to my web site and that number grows each month. When I first launched my site I didn’t want to spend money on advertising I couldn’t afford and didn’t use pay-per-click at all. Instead I used a few simple search engine positioning techniques to move my site to top ten and top twenty positions in the search engines for dozens of keywords. This along with the strategy of writing and distributing articles brings me tens of thousands of visitors each month for free.
