What free ways are there to premote a product/service

20 replies
I would like to know what are some free methods (not costing one cent) to generate buyers traffic to a site as well as some free actual ways to advertise a product/service.

The reason I ask this is because everywhere I look, like on Facebook,google etc. you have to pay for ads.

What I am asking is other than by creating a website/blog or social media profile (which is going to take years to generate enough followers) what other ways are there to promote a product/service.

    Hi! One free service you could check out is called PageRankCafe.com. It is free to use and the site gets lots of traffic. It is very simple and quick to use.

    Go where your target market is. They're already hanging out somewhere. Get in front of them there, and entice them to move from that platform to yours.

    It takes time. Yes using SEO would be the best option, but there is a lifetime of things to learn with that topic. It is great skill to have though. Also using certain platforms that has a marketplace. Either way taking the free route will take time, so I would be really patient.

    Have you considered setting up a Youtube channel ? Depending on the niche and competition Youtube videos can sometimes bring instant traffic, even if you don't want to appear on video yourself this can be easily outsourced very cheaply.

    You can go with social media accounts as well. In my opinion, you can use Twitter or Instagram for the promotion and get followers. Most people are using this two social media accounts and these two are more trendy. Go on with SEO optimization it will definitely benefit you in future.

  • The general rule of thumb is if you want quick followers/subs than you need to run ads, if you want it to be free than it will take work which takes longer. I don't know what your definition of a long time is, but if there were a quick free way to generate thousands of followers, than it would be very easy to find this information online. That is because everyone would be doing it.

    The quickest free way is by YouTube and posting daily videos, while using SEO.

    Depends on your niche.

    One I used before I went onto paid ads is Twitter, Go to search.twitter in Google, first one. Then search for the keywords in your niche. Like I need more money, for the MMO niche etc. You will then find the latest posts from people and just reply to them.

    Lots of ways to get free traffic, but social media is probably one of the most popular.

    You have to do everything manually. You need to reach your target audience. You could try to find your audience in Instagram, try there to promote your product / service.

    You can start doing Seo-promotion. I will not go into details, you can look at it in Google. I know for sure that this will help you, but you will have to spend a lot of time on it. Blackhatworld - an excellent forum for both beginners and knowledgeable Seo-specialists.
