The surest way to fail anywhere in business is not to advertise. If anything with an online business a strong proportion of the budget should go into advertising both on and off line.
Here we provide an excellent choice of low cost and free business development tools. Use them and start making some big $$$'s.
Here are a few methods to drive traffic to your web site.
1. Pay for Traffic. & FREE Traffic.
A. Cashbreak.
Would you like guaranteed visitors to your web site. I have been dealing with CashBreaks now for about 3 years. They offer good delivery of visitors and they extimate anywhere between 5000 guaranteed to 7500. Cost about $100 which is very fair for genuine visitors. I built a mailing list of over 6500 with just 3 promotions with them. This continued to grow with each promotion there after. Well worth a try. Discover how they do this.
B. 10,000 REAL HITS.
Just $19.95 gets 10,000 real visitors to your web site. Unbelievable Value. Click Here.
C. Exit City Traffic.
The principle behind this is that for every visitor that views their site after leaving yours you earn a FREE visitor. 2 -1. ratio. To discover more Click Here.

E. 1 Million FREE Hits.

2. Own Your own Search Engine/FFA.
I'll be brutally honest here! Promoting just by sending of Free to FFA's is a bit like fishing without any bait. You may accidentally get a couple of visitors to your offer but the odds are against you.
It is better to have your own FFA/Search Engine Submitter. The reasons being:-
* Place your advertising in return thank you emails to all those that post to your FFA.
* Build up new leads. I use wwKiosk exclusively for this purpose as I get anywhere between 500-10000 leads a day to send my offers to. Very Inexpensive & Good Value!
* Earn residual income by people that sign up to own their own FFA.
Here are a few I use that get results.
A. wwKIOSK.
This costs only $14.95 per month yet provides you VALUE for $$ . It really gets a large number of prospects to send your message two often 1500 or more a day. Your message can goes out via wwKIOSK without any risk of spam by yourself or you can send yourself. Click Here.

It is imperative for you to build a strong mailing list, by placing sign up forms for your mail list or newsletter on your web page.
Ok things to look for. 1. Unlimited addresses... I have been burnt by companies only allowing a few 1000 as a maximum to your list. Look for ones where you can send a broadcast. Check the fine print folks! Broadcast and import of mailing list and export of your mailing list are two features along with PERSONALISATION FEATURES.
A. MAKE NET MONEY AUTO RESPONDERS.
Here's one I recommend. Make Net Money. Only $9.95 per month if you lock in. Not only do you get mult responders with all the trimmings, but a heap of resources and a free E-Book each month.

A much underused resource is your local or national newspapers, radior or television stations. Having been a freelance journalist, if you have something news worthy that other people may interested in then consider writing up some news releases.
Generally 500 words is sufficient. See the example I have included just to get an idea of what is required. Here are a few good places to post press releases.
A. Press Blaster.
PressBlaster is a windows program that allows you to send your own press releases directly to the media. I've been using press releases to promote my company's products and services for the last four years. I use press releases because their highly effective in getting FREE publicity, making my telephone ring, and driving traffic to my web site. It's the kind of advertising that you simply cannot buy.
While I've been manually sending my releases in the past, I've recently discovered PressBlaster!, which totally blew me away. The program includes a database of over 7000 editors and press affiliates. Complete contact information is built right into the program, including the editors name, address, phone, fax, and email address.
It's like having 3 programs all in one easy to use application. In ten minutes I sent my press release to over 2000 contacts. Here's how you do it:
1. Screen one - Create your press release, you can spell check it, and it even creates email messages in HTML (I use BOLD text and COLOR in my email to attract even more attention)
2. Screen two - Pick the media category you want to send to. The whole thing is pre-sorted, so you don't have to hunt down the appropriate editors who would most likely print your release.
3. Click Send!
That's it. It formats your press release to industry standard, and sends it via email directly to the editors. On top of that, it can print labels too. I follow up with a "hard copy" of my press kit by snail mail.
Overall, I found this software extremely effective, and easy to use. If your new to press release writing, they also include a sample template to get you started. For more information check out their website. Just Click Here!

B. U.S. POSTAL & OFFICE PRESENCE.

Many companies and individuals marketing to companies and individuals in the US find that it it's valuable to show they have a US presence. It's easy to have a US mailing address, fax number and voicemail number. When you can give people a domestic number to call, they are more likely to respond to your offers or make contact.
