The World of Online Advertising

Working at home and on the internet has become a growing trend. Many of us didn't know SEO, html, css, and even squidoo a short time ago, so foreign yet so familiar now.

Advertising and marketing our sites is how we draw traffic and ultimately and hopefully sales. We are also creating back links to our sites, that Google likes.

Advertising does not have to be expensive, in fact there are many ways to advertise for free. I'm all about free!

I've put together some free advertising resources that I hope you will have the opportunity to use!!

Happy Advertising!!

Write An Article 

Again Article Marketing draw traffic to our sites. When you think about writing an article do you cringe, I did.

Once you sit down and focus and research what you writing about, you get on a roll. Don't fall into analysis paralysis. Get the facts, write an article. An article only needs to be about 250 words.

Typically, you can only use 2 links throughout your article and remember to use your links in the signature or bio box.

Just as with classified ads, there are many free ezines to submit your articles to. Here are just a few to start.

Ezine Articles
Isnare
Go Articles

There is software available to make your life easier submitting articles. Input your info and a click of a button you can submit to 85+ publications. The first time you use your software, you will have to register accounts, but it is well worth the time.

Remember, I'm all about FREE. Just with anything, there is a free version and a paid upgrade.

Submitting Your Site 

Submitting your site to directories will also create more traffic for you.

There are literally hundreds of directories that you can submit your site to. Approval may take weeks or even months.

One of the most popular is DMOZ

If you are specializing in a certain niche, I would recommend that you do a search for directories that relate to your niche, such as babies or weight loss.

Again, there is software available to make your life easier submitting your site to directories.

Remember, I'm all about FREE. Just with anything, there is a free version and a paid upgrade.



Business Directories 

There are numerous business directories that you can list your site in which will bring more traffic to your site. Many of these sites have integrated networking with other members. Two of my favorites are

Start Up Biz on Ning. Don't forget to claim your blog on Ning

Merchant Circle

Let's Squidoo 

Yet another great way to advertise your products, your site, or just about anything you want, is Squidoo. You already know that because you are here.

Not only is Squidoo a place to advertise, you can also utilize Squidoo instead of having a website link for those venues that do not allow affiliate links.

Do YOU want to Squidoo? It's fast and easy and there are many lenses that will show and help you to build a Squidoo lens such as How to Make Your First (or Second) Squidoo Lens by Margaret_Schaut and if you need some help with html, one of my favorites is Basic HTML by n376.

A great resource for learning squidoo is Squidoo Affiliate Destruction.

And YES, you can make money on Squidoo
