Low-to-No Cost Methods for Driving Traffic
Not everyone can afford thousands of dollars to spend on hiring a web development and marketing team to help them keep up with the more than 200,000,000 blogs out there alone. I was just on a forum and saw this question:
Does anyone have any suggestions for low to no cost methods for marketing the service offered by one’s website?
I thought I’d share my reply for you to also benefit from…
My boss wrote a free report on “101 Realistic Ways to Bring Traffic to Your Web Site”. We give it to all of our clients once we publish their website and it is an AMAZING resource. Most of the methods are ways without spending at money, just time.

But, off the cuff, here’s a few things I would suggest:
- Spread the word! Your signature on every email should have your website URL and tagline. Get on social networks and give tips, share quotes, talk about what you do in a way that people would want more information.
- One of the best ways, seriously, is to start a blog. If your service is Health Care consulting, you could blog about recent new articles or issues, share you opinions, offer solutions, etc. A blog is not where you give all of your worth away for free. It is a foundation in which people see what your value is like, then purchases your service because they have trust in you based on your writings.
- Article syndication. This is a hot marketing effort again. Write articles that are 400-800 words (pack them full of keywords about your industry topic and languaging that your market would recognize). There are hundreds of free article sites where you start a free account, upload your article, and boom – you’re all over the internet now with a link back to your website.
There are a lot of free ways to market your website — you just need the time to work consistently at driving traffic. If you are on-again off-again, then you might not see the results you are hoping for. Internet Marketing needs a consistent and solid effort. I’d get that free report up top – it’ll really help you.
By the way, if you don’t have the time yourself, then I’d go to craigslist and hire someone for $8-9/hr and help you out with some of these time consuming tasks that are really easy (like article syndication).
