Well, any big, large, medium size, corporate or even small business enterprises or entrepreneurs, recognisz the need to promote your business. Here are a number of ways to advertise your business for free.

No. 1. Write a press release
This is one of the best way to generate some free publicity and to attract some traffic. Generally, journalists do not have much time to write stories, so if you can provide them with easily written text it becomes quite easy for them to publish it. Don’t presume that your story will be interesting. The fact is interesting stories are more likely to be human interest, or about a new business opening. Look further inside a publication to see what sorts of stories that they publish and write your press release like one of these.

No. 2. Personal profiles
Try adding on personal profiles of yourself and your business on social networking sites such as LinkedIn, Ecademy, Friends Reunited, and Facebook. These will need to be quite subtle - avoid the hard sell. Then start building links in to other people that you know.

No. 3. Use your car (back) window screens
This may sound similar to previous idea / tip. Design and print a poster and put it in the back window of your car. This could be just a simple web address for your business printed on a sticker and then to be sticked onto the back glass screen of your car. Find out the regulation to do so. Normally small sticker banners are allowed.

No. 4. Shop windows
If you are holding a local event many shops will be quite happy to put up a small A4 poster in their window. Many web sites have events pages that do not charge to promote an event.

No. 5. Leave comments at the bottom of web postings. 
Try this one. If you do a resonable job at answering or commenting on an existing topic then many sites will be quite happy to include a link back to your website.

No. 6. Put up an advert on craigslist classifieds directory.
This can generate something interesting, but it may also get lost in all the crud.

No. 7. Submit free ads to free classifieds directory websites.

Do a search on the internet. Google it. There are many web sites that offer a free directory. 

No. 8. Link swapping
Always keep up with the current situation / development. Link swapping is out of fashion lately, but it can present a very useful way to get traffic to your we site. The free willy nilly swapping of links was very popular ten few years ago, but in the right circumstances it can prove very popular. The best way to go about doing this is to find out who is linking in to your competitors websites and ask if they will link back to you. To find out who is linking go to Google and type in “link:competitor.com” (changing competitor.com for the website you want to check out)

9. Start blogging
It can be a bit time consuming, but if you start a blog on your website, using software like Wordpress orTypepad

10. Generate reference material for your website
Another useful way to bring people to your website is to write useful reference material such as free how to guides.
One company that is using this to great effect is the hospital company BUPA. They wrote a number of health factsheets that they claim now have one million people a month visiting. While this has taken them quite a bit of effort to generate this it is one of the best examples of free advertising that I can think about. And much cheaper than advertising on TV.
