If you are trying to build a successful online business, you will need to do some online marketing and advertising. If you are just getting started and don’t have any money to invest in advertising, I would like to suggest some free ways you can advertise your business online.

1. Social Media: You will want to join a few social media networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Fill out your profile page completely and include links to your business. Once you have set up your accounts, browse those networks to find like-minded professionals and follow their accounts. You will want to post about yourself, your company and newsworthy tips and ideas. Networking with others online is a great way to find new business associates and customers.

2. Create A Blog: One of the hottest ways to market your business online is to create a blog. You can create a free blog at blogger.com, wordpress.com or notepad.com. You will want to set up your blog and post on it consistently. You need to walk a fine line between publishing newsworthy blog content and spam content. You will want to give readers a reason to visit your blog besides constant advertisements. Give readers tips on how they can use the products that you sell.

3. Article Marketing: If you are decent at writing, spelling and grammar, you can try your hand at article marketing. You will want to write and publish informative articles directed towards your business niche and submit those written works to online article directory sites.

4. Barter For Advertising Space: If you have an abundance of left-over unused product inventory, you can contact niche related web site owners and see if they would be interested in bartering for some advertising space. You could give them some of your business products in exchange for banner or button ad space on their site.

As you can see…there are many ways you can market and advertise your business online that are free or very low cost. The most important thing to remember is this…customers don’t magically find you and your business online. You have to get your business out there and bring the customers to you.
