Most Internet based home businesses involve the building of a website because obviously your potential customers need a place on the internet to visit your virtual office. There are many milestones before making a website public; you need to write some interesting content about your business, products and offers. You need to add promotional material to give an incentive to people who visit your website. After having done all that it often happens that the website is not generating the kind of profits that were expected. Why is this? Quite simply, lack of promotion. And this is very surprising because there are plenty of free website promotion options, you do not have to pay huge sums to promote your website.

Here are some ways in which you can do free website promotion.

The cheapest way is also the one that demands the biggest amount of patience from you. It is called persistence, just keep at it and eventually people will know about your business.

Free website promotion comes in many shapes and you have to decide which strategy (or multiple strategies) you are going to implement.

Search engines and business directories are one such option where you can list your business for free in order to get more traffic. There is a bit of technical skill involved in this because you need to work in a particular way to make sure that your page (or search) rank is high enough to make a difference.

Then there are the numerous link exchange websites that can result in a rise in your own traffic. Like link exchange, many free classified advertisement options can help you with free website promotion. And like classifieds, there are sites that offer banner advertising (the blocks of images that you often see on top of commerce websites). The cost of this service is very varied but if you spend some time looking around you will find banner exchange websites that can do free website promotion for you.

Having said that, please bear in mind that while free website promotion is a good idea, it should never become the only thing on which you rely on. Free website promotion must always be that extra element that you include in your marketing strategy in order to complement you main efforts. After all, when you think realistically, if free website promotion could do all the work for an internet-based home business then commercial advertising would be dead.

So go ahead with free website promotion in the beginning and once things start rolling add in some paid advertising for really reaching the bulk of your target audience.
