"Submit your page to search engines!"

"Bid at pay-per-click search engines!"

"Publish a newsletter!"

These are the common website promotion cries. Indeed, my own internet page promotion page states just that. There are other ways to promote your site, however, that may well suit you and your website better!

For instance, visiting newsgroups and joining discussion lists; setting up joint ventures; affiliate selling ; or using online auctions - all of these provide sensible, doable means to promote your web site.

Many well-visited sites are promoted each and every day, and selling little and often is really the key in the long run. Website promotion is never over. I know its dull to say, but its true!

=> USE THIS RESOURCE

I recently developed a FREE 7-day electronic mail course. It covers the basics of web site promotion (as youd expect), but it also provides new ideas, AND suggests a daily promotion schedule. The electronic mail course covers topics like:

* Post a newsgroup discussion

* Swap links with other sites

* Write a testimonial

* Be an expert, have an opinion

* Start a joint venture

As I said, some familiar ground is covered, but there are loads of other internet site promotion ideas too. I recommend that you click the hyperlink and get day 1 of the course (but then I would, wouldnt I?) mailto:promote_site_every_day@getresponse.com

Unfortunately, web page promotion is never over!

So it is important that you concentrate on those internet page promotion methods that work best for you, and just do it (to coin a random phrase). Dont stop selling , do keep a record of your efforts, and never forget the basics. (And try and enjoy yourself, eh?)
