You don’t need to pay for advertising if you want to get results in your online marketing business. However, paying for ads can help you get results faster when done right. So don’t use them unless you know what you’re doing.
But we’re going to talk about free places you can use to get more traffic and sales. However, you will have to make a plan for each platform before you start promoting your online marketing business.
You can’t wing it! I used to go with the flow, had no marketing strategy, and all I got out of it was wasted time and no results.
Before we start, I would also like to add that you shouldn’t choose too many platforms to start with. You’ll quickly get burned out and you won’t be able to keep up. My advice is to start with:
- one social media platform,
- one search engine (Google, YouTube, or Pinterest for business)
- and email marketing
This way, you’ll be able to stay consistent and you’ll connect with your audience easier. Now let’s check out all the different places you can promote your online marketing business for free.
