Top 10 Free Website Marketing Sources
December 12th, 2006
There is nothing more crucial to successfully bootstrapping your business than free advertising. This is my personal check list for every website I start. Not only will this drive traffic to your businesses web presence, but can also get you a free high ranking Google listing.
From what I hear, having a link to your website on the first page of a Google search is a good thing! To get that result for under $10 month well that’s just phenomenal. This is all done by simply piggy backing on sites that Google already loves.
YouTube.com
Make a 1-2 minute commercial for your service/product. People will bump into it here and there plus you can use it later for your website to have a rich media experience for your visitors.
Gcast.com
Make a free podcast about your service/product. Talk about features, benefits, how to use it, and have customers talk about how much they like it also.
Myspace.com
Create a business profile and interact with people. This is particularly great if you are in the retail industry. There are thousands of niche groups on Myspace find the one for your industry and introduce yourself.
Article Marketing:
This is where you can get your really high Google listings if done right. Write a 300-500 word article selling your service/product and make sure to use the right keywords. There are tons of sources out there that can teach you how to find and exploit the right keywords. That would be a whole other article itself. Basically, you just stick your keyword/phrase in the article title and throw it in the body of the article about 4-5 times also. Make sure to include a link to your site/s in the “about the author” box.
Isnare.com (Paid bonus features)
These are the only four article sites you should worry about as Google has an affection for these. The others wouldn’t hurt but also wouldn’t help much either.
Classified Ads:
Use the same concepts as article marketing and you can secure a high listing with these sites as well. The downside is that classified ads generally go away after 30-45 days. Some have a feature where you can pay a small amount of money to have it re-posted over and over again. Well worth it if you can spare the cash.
Backpage.com (Paid bonus features)
UsFreeAds.com (Bonus features for $9/month)
Well there you have it, my personal Internet marketing checklist. If you are not using any of these techniques you could be missing out on 100-1000 free visitors a day to your businesses web presence.

Playing by the rules
November 13th, 2006
Recently there has been a lot of hype among young entrepreneurs about the top 25 entrepreneurs under 25 report, done by business week. I have heard on numerous forums people poking fun at some of these guys because their financial status is not what someone would expect to see on a top 25 list.
Being a successful bootstrapper is not about how much money you make. It’s about playing by the rules and having strong fundamentals. Without a solid blueprint and foundation, even with loads of money, people will not take your business seriously. Affiliate marketers deal with this all the time.
Playing by the rules means writing a business plan, tracking finances, and creating a system. Otherwise people cannot see the value in your business. They see you talking about making a lot of money, but they can’t see how, why, and if it is sustainable.
Sustainability is the key to your business success, if you or others cannot see it, then it is not there!
If you are interested in playing by the rules, start tracking your income and expenses. Save your business related receipts for tax time and maybe get a mentor. There are articles a plenty (allbusiness.com, entrepreneur.com) on how to find a mentor and I personally recommend the SCORE organization.
We are young entrepreneurs, so I know having a mentor can kind of bring us back to our school days when mom and dad would get us a tutor. Business mentors are not like that, anyone who is largely successful has had a mentor. A business mentor can help you write a solid business plan, market your business with the right perceptions, and hold you accountable to your goals. These are all very fundamental and essential issues you need to be dealing with.
Any one of us can reach that top 25 list next year, but only some of us will take ourselves seriously and play by the rules. What will you do in 2007?
