How To Generate Traffic To Your Website On A Shoestring Budget
If you are new to marketing online or network marketing and don’t have a large budget to play with, there are many low cost or no cost alternatives to help generate traffic to your website.
The key to success online is getting people to see what you have to offer. In other words generating traffic to your website so they can observe the product or service you are selling. There are many ways to do this and some methods are more expensive than others, while some cost nothing at all. Promoting your website need not be a costly activity and there are many free online marketing methods that can bring great results.
One of the most effective online marketing methods is Article Marketing. Article marketing consists of writing articles related to your website and then distributing them through article directories with an Author’s Biography Box at the end which includes a link to your website. Article marketing is free, but if you have written good articles which are also properly search engine optimized then you can get great results from this online marketing method.
Forum Marketing is another excellent way to promote your website. Although this online marketing method is more time consuming than some of the others it can provide excellent results. The trick with forum marketing is to provide plenty of useful information in forums related to your website and then include a link to your website in your forum signature. If people have read your posts and find them interesting, they will be more likely to click through to your website and hopefully buy what you are selling.
Social Networking has become another popular and free method to promote your business. Be careful when using this method not to break the rules of your social networking site. If used correctly, this method can provide increased traffic to your website.
Search Engine Optimization is perhaps the most important online marketing method you can use to promote your website. By learning a few search engine optimization techniques you will be able to do much of this yourself and enjoy the benefits of search engine optimization free of charge. Most people use search engines to find what they are looking for online.
So if your website is correctly optimized you will be seen by a lot more people, which should convert into a lot more sales.
Free Classified Advertising websites are also a good way to get your business seen by many more online consumers. Many of these classified ad sites allow you to post your ad free of charge in order to increase traffic to their site. Again, try to make your ad search engine friendly and it may also be picked up by some of the top search engines online today.
These are some of the main cost free methods of advertising your home business or any business for that matter online. They are also some of the more effective ones which will hopefully contribute to the success of your online endeavors.

This is my new Blog and having been away from it for a couple of years it’s great to be back because I really enjoy it. Just to tell you something about myself, my wife and I are currently working with Autistic adults in the state of Maine and we love it. Although we’re from Canada, originally from Newfoundland, this is our second stint working in Maine and the two men we are working with this time around are great. We’ve become very attached to these young men and we consider ourselves to be a family. Actually our job title is that of Therapeutic Foster Parents and of course we take it very seriously. One of the main reasons we take it so seriously is that we are advocates for these young men because at times they can’t speak for themselves.
The sad part about our job here in Maine is that we have to leave the country after 18 months. The reason for this being the company who hired us and sponsored us into the US could only get us into the country by way of a Training Visa with the main condition being we have to leave after 18 months. We were here under the same circumstances in 2007 and had to leave the guys we were caring for at that time at the end of 2008.
This of course was very difficult for the three men we were working with and living with at the time and it was also very difficult for us because we became very attached and as I mentioned earlier we became a family. One of the main benefits of coming back is that we get to see the guys we worked with on our first visit and we also get to do what we enjoy which is caring for and helping these young men.
Because of our love for what we do and for the people we work with I will be dedicating a Page on this website to Autism and to the people who live with it on a daily basis. I’m hoping this will help educate people who aren’t familiar with what is fast becoming a global concern and help to raise funds for research.
The other objective of this website is to offer Home Business advice and present opportunities to people who are interested in making a legitimate living by working from home.
I’m hoping to have a great deal of relevant content added soon and I hope people will make it a point to visit often. Thank you for visiting and for taking the time to read this information.
The following two videos should give you some idea of the majestic beauty of Newfoundland:
I’ve added a video below, one of which is actually an advertisement by a local brewery located in St. John’s, Newfoundland which is where I’m from. But it contains some great shots of the area and I like to think portrays what we, as Newfoundlanders, are all about: People who care about people, who work hard and play hard but aren’t afraid to laugh at ourselves. In the following videos you will see many examples of this outlook on life as portrayed by local entertainers performing at what we call “Kitchen Parties”.
These are events where neighbours come together to have a few drinks and entertain one another through song and dance. Please take the time to have a look.
