Ways to promote your website or business opportunity

Sometimes I get inquiries from women who want to know why their advertising isn’t effective. I wrote some thoughts about this in a recent newsletter that you can read here.

What I’d like to focus on in this tip is ways beyond advertising that you can promote your website or business opportunity.

Many of you are using the same website as the rest of the members of your team. I think it’s well worth considering building your own website. I also have written about this in the past so won’t repeat myself here.

You are told to participate in forums and have the bizop in your signature… also to place ads. Here are some thoughts I have on that.

Article distribution is a super way to increase traffic to your site. I have a list you can use to get started submitting your articles – but it hasn’t been updated in awhile. Sorry about that…

Here’s a hint with article distribution… Take an article that you have written and rewrite parts of it a few times. You will essentially have three or four versions of the same article. Change your bio in each as well using different keyword terms in your link to your website.

This will help your article to rank better in the search engines.

I think the most important thing is networking. Start a new folder in your browser favorites for blogs. Research blogs where your target market likely hangs out. Make comments on the blog. There is always a place to leave your website address there.

Just make sure your comments are meaningful or they won’t be posted by the blogger – and also because you simply won’t peak the interest of blog readers to come check out your site.

Here’s another thought… start a blog of your own! You can do it easily and free using either wordpress.com or blogger.com.
