Here are a few great ways you can get customers without spending a cent on promoting your business or products:

Social media marketing

You can create a professional profile on social media sites like LinkedIn or Twitter. Social media marketing is excellent to get the word out. Use Facebook and LinkedIn groups to find places where your potential customers post questions and issues. Solve problems in these groups to be seen as an expert. Then when a group member needs your product you’ll come to mind as an expert and someone they can trust.

Guest Blogging

Now that you’re seen as an expert in your field and you know the type of challenges people have with your service or product try guest blogging. Reach out to trade publications in your business niche and volunteer to write expert articles for them. Make sure you ask for a link back to your website. Your traffic will blossom as a direct result of your guest blogging efforts.

Search Engine Optimization or SEO

Free SEO plugins for your website are available online and they’re sure to help your business succeed in ranking at top of major search engines like Google.
