Add A Signature Block To Your Emails
The fastest way to start promoting your Cool Little Website is to add a
"Signature Ad" to your emails. This will automatically promote your website
every time you send out an email. Refer to your email client's Help File to
learn how to add a Signature to your outgoing emails. For example:

Submit Articles To Article Directories
Articles are a great way to drive traffic to your Cool Little Website.
You may write your own articles or have articles written for you and submit
them to these and other high traffic article directories.
Advertise in Ezines
Ezine advertising can be most effective if you use ezines that target to
your specific market. The following ezines offer low cost advertising
options:
Pay-Per-Click Advertising
I use pay-per-click search engine advertising for the simple reason that
I am not patient enough to wait months for my listings to show up on the
free search sites. :o) That said, you should register with as many free
sites as you can to help get the word out.
Google and Overture are the most popular search engines and p-p-c sites.
Only do p-p-c if your budget allows. You can lose a mint on a bad p-p-c
campaign.
Free Search Engine Listings
You can certainly register your site with the free engines. You will show
up eventually, it just takes time. It's called passive marketing and can pay
off well after a few months. I have some affiliates who do nothing else.
Opt-In Email Campaigns
I have very good luck with email campaigns. When I first launched the
business I made an email list of everyone I knew and sent this message:
Hi,
I've found a great way to make money online. I just wanted to share it
with you! Forward this to everyone you know with my blessing.
Check out this site: PUT YOUR DOMAIN NAME HERE
Thanks,
YOUR NAME
It was a great way to make easy sales. You might also consider sending to
an email list you purchase, just don't
spam anyone. You could get our servers blacklisted, which would not be
good.
