Be creative. There are hundreds and hundreds of other ways to advertise your business off
internet. And these can be extremely effective at building traffic and generating sales.
Conventions which pertain to your industry or group can be an exceptionally rich source of leads and new advertising. If you go to those events, remember your goal is to make contacts and spread
word about your site, products or services. Mill around, talk to people, and make sure they leave with your printed materials. In other words, network, network, network.
Small classified advertisements in magazines and newspapers can also be great sources of traffic to your site. Remember, however, to be very cautious and not spend much money on this form of promotion until you find a formula that works. In other words, place small, experimental ads here and there until you find
ones that produce
desired results.
Nothing beats getting a mention on a newspaper or magazine. In fact,
traffic created by a brief mention in a good-sized newspaper can be huge enough (although of very short duration) to overwhelm a site for a time.
In summary, remember there is more to life than
internet. Believe it or note, most people actually don't spend every waking moment in front of a computer screen. By cautiously taking advantage of this, you can get more people to your site than you might think.
