What are some free ways to advertise my affiliate marketing website?

[Drunkenwriter570]

I have absolutely no money right now to use for advertising my affiliate marketing website. I just paid a web designer to develop a coupon like site that promotes affiliate products, but I have not made any money on it yet (it's only a month old) and now I don't have money for advertising. What do you suggest I use for completely free advertising?

There are actually plenty of free ways to advertise your website. Things like article marketing and Squidoo are a great way to get backlinks to your website and advertise it. Write up a few articles that relate to your website and then post then on places like ezinearticles and other free article directories. You can also check out making a Squidoo page or a Hub Page that relates to your website.

Another way to advertise your website is to join any forums where you think people would be interested in your website and put the link in your signature. Just be sure that you don't spam the forums and try to participate according to the rules of the forum.

A great way that you can advertise your affiliate marketing website is through social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. These are free to make accounts on and then just spend a couple of days trying to find some friends that may be interested in your website.

If you want more options for free advertising I recommend that you check out the website http://www.mattbacak.com. He has great information on there and even has a newsletter and membership group that you can sign up for.

Online advertising doesn't have to be expensive at all. You can start with article marketing strategies if you're concerned about spending money for advertising purposes.

Firstly, I think you need to be a bit more patient.

Secondly, I think you should follow the advice that you've already been given.

Thirdly, I think you should visit http://www.howipromotemywebsite.com as it gives lots of basic tips on promoting your site for free.

But, again, be patient. :-)

PS Why not answer questions on Yahoo! Answers to do with coupons and mention your website when appropriate?
