3 Ways to Promote Your Website Without Money

[whoflip]

Here's how you market your website when you have no money.

Step 1: Go to Quora and search for all of the questions that people have within your space and answer them. When it makes sense, link back out to your website. This is so effective that my Quora profile gets hundreds of thousands of views each month.

Step 2: Create content in different formats (text, video, audio) and promote them on the social web (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Quora). You can post the same content on multiple social sites as Google DOES NOT penalize for duplicate content. When using this tactic make sure you only put part of your content on social media and make the readers click over back to your site to read the rest.

Step 3: Google for forums within your space and respond to questions. Within your forum response add a signature that lists your website. The better response you give the more traffic you will get. That's how you market your website when you can't spend any money on marketing.

Don't you want to grow your business?
Well who doesn't?
The problem is it's hard to grow your business and market it unless you have a big marketing
budget, right?
That's a bunch of bullshit.
You don't need money to market your business.
Today I'm going to teach you how you can market your website when you have no money to spend
on advertising.
The beautiful thing about the web is social media is free.
It doesn't cost to be on there.
The second beautiful thing about the web is you can create content in any form.
It can be video, it can be text, it can be audios like podcasts.
Creating these types of text formats or content and then pushing them out on social media is a
great way to get more traffic.
If you're trying to market your website and you don't have any money to spend on advertising,
here's what you want to do.
First, go to Quora and type in all the questions people within your space may have.
You'll start seeing tons of questions and popular ones that are getting a lot of votes.
Go into those questions, answer them.
By helping people out you'll notice that more people will see who you are, they'll come
back to your website, and then they'll purchase.
It really is that simple.
You go to my Quora page on Neil Patel, you'll notice that I've responded to hundreds of
questions and I get hundreds and thousands of views on my Quora questions and my profile
each and every single month.
It's a great way to leverage their traffic to generate traffic back to my website and
sales.
Best of all, I don't have to spend any money to do that.
The second thing that you should be doing is posting your content on social media.
You write a blog post.
Post it on Twitter.
You write another blog post.
Again, post it on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn.
The possibilities are endless.
Continually share your content everywhere.
Do you know what I do?
I write a blog post once on my website.
Then I post the same content on LinkedIn.
After adding a few paragraphs on LinkedIn I say, "Hey, click to continue reading the
rest."
It makes them go back to my website to read the rest of the article.
I also put a snippet on Twitter, because it only allows 140 characters, which causes people
to come back to my site.
So sharing your content on social media is another great way to get traffic.
It's that simple.
To respond to people who are asking questions on Quora.
Go to Twitter.
Look for people who are asking about stuff within your field.
So if someone's asking about marketing-related stuff, I would go on Twitter and just respond
to them in 140 characters.
Heck, I can even link to my own website if I have content that also answers their question.
It's a great way to get more traffic.
You know if you don't have a popular Twitter profile, or you don't want to use Quora, just
google for forums within your space.
So if you're in the marketing space, just google marketing forum, F-O-R-U-M.
You'll see a list of forums.
Go to them.
Respond to questions that you can answer.
In the footer of each of your forum responses or in the signature link to your website.
This will get more visitors back to your site.
More traffic means more sales.
