1. You will want to be easily found in search engines

Use Yahoo seach solutions or Google search solutions. Both have pay per click programs with use of "key words". Both can help you set up necessary key words to help get you lots of visibility. (Both have worked very well for me) Links to both are below.

Yahoo:

Google:

2. Easy payment - Offer the use of "Paypal". A secure method to receive funds, a secure method to send funds. With a paypal account a person can pay by a direct debit to a bank or charge account.

Paypal:

Note: In addition, always have your website address imprinted on any correspondence or advertising you do, be it in newspapers, fliers, business cards, letterhead stationary, business envelopes, give-away items etc.

These are my time-proven methods to ADVERTISE my website for FREE
1)Viral Pictures
Viral is closely connected with something that may spread easily.So i suggest you to create a viral picture which is closely connected with your products and spread it.
Everyone likes funny pictures and they don't mind sharing it with others.It's viral.So, If you're selling a health product, then you may create a funny picture about it and put your website's name on it.
Next, just forward it to as many contacts as possible using e-mails. Whether it's a 12 years old kid or 21 years old adult.They would just love and share it with others. Can you see how easy it is?

2)Viral Videos
Videos are the most famous entertainment on the Internet.People would just love it dues to it's effectivenes in spreading the message. So i suggest you to create viral videos about your product and again put your link in it.
If you got 3 minutes video, then make sure your website's link is visible throughout the whole 3 minutes.If you don't have the necessary tools to create a video, then you can simply collect 5-10 viral pictures and then convert it into video using Windows Movie Maker.

5.
start a free blog; there are many good ones, but some of the more popular will give you more exposure a bit faster; here is an example of one on Google's Blogger site:

http://andlifemoreabundantly.blogspot.com/

If you do the blog, keep in mind that this is basically a free online newsletter. Use it to be a benefit and a blessing to your readers. They'll love you and keep coming back for more and sending their friends to it, as well.

You'll basically have produced your own online newsletter with your own ads in it for free. You don't necessarily have to write much, just do some good reading and stay connected with some folks who you know write well, you'll be able to link to most content for free and then just share your comments and their link.

6.
Continue to ask good questions and answer good questions on Yahoo! Answers. Being a help and a blessing to other people just sets you up to get blessed back by someone else.

Hope things go very well for your venture, it sounds like a good one.
