I want to promote my website - HOW!?

[Mike]

Like any other product it's Marketing. Yes, in the online business there are specific guidelines to follow. Make sure your Website follows the basic rules of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in order to appear in good positions on Search engines like Yahoo, Google, Bing.. If you are not familiar with SEO read this intro on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization

Then Social Media Marketing is very important today. It's kind of like word of mouth but it can be spread much faster since most people are Online many hours of the day. Create a Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus account and share all your newest posts from your Website there. Also add an RSS feed so that interested people can be updated in real time.

If you want to invest some money in advertising that brings immediate traffic you can try to buy traffic from the Yahoo ads Network or Google Adsense or there are also other Adservers out there. After all those efforts, if you have an interesting Site, people will come back and new people will join.

That should do for the beginning.
