3 free ways to get exposure to your site

Owning a business is very exciting and very rewarding. For some people owning a business is like a dream come true. Being your own boss, working around your family, and setting your own hours are reasons why people want to own a business of their very own.

One of the downsides to owning a business is finding ways to bring in the money. After all, that is probably the reason you started your business. There are so many ways to advertise your business online. It’s enough to make a person go crazy trying to figure out which is the best way to go. You want to get the most bang for your buck so to speak.

One way that is completely free to do and a great way to get exposure is to write articles. When you write articles and submit them to article directories, you are giving people permission to use your article and biography on their site as content. This will build traffic to your site and give you one way links to your site as well.

Articles also help you become an expert in your field. When you continue to write and submit to the directories, you will develop a following. People will search for your articles. When you become an expert, people will trust you. When they trust you, they will feel comfortable buying from you, using your services, or referring you to others.

Another way to build traffic for free is to do link exchanges. Link exchanges are easy to do. You need to own your site or have the ability to make changes to it. When you do a link exchange, you add a link to your site for another site and in exchange they add your link to their site. You want to exchange links with sites that are comparable to yours but not the same. For example, if your site is Christian jewelry, you would want to exchange links with Christian clothing sites and Christian bookstores. You won’t want to exchange links with other Christian jewelry stores.

Another great way to build traffic is to blog. You can set up a blog for free at blogger.com or wordpress.com. When you blog, you talk about things that are important in your business. You also can add the articles that you write. Posting personal things is ok as well. The main thing you want to do is post information that your readers will enjoy and learn from. You will want to advertise your blog so others will visit and read what you have to post. You will also want to share your posts with others when you network.

You can also add links and buttons to the right side of your screen. You can link to your main site, places where your articles are found, links of websites that compliment your own. These links will be great for traffic to your main site when you add links to it.

When you use these three tips in your business, you will see an increase in traffic to your site. When you have an increase in traffic you will, at some point, see an increase in sales.
