1) website address on billboards, business cards, flyers, stationary, balloons, pens, pencils 2) advertise on radio and television (if you haverepparttar budget) 3) write press releases 4) network with businesses, friends, and relatives 5) join a tradebank association in your area (bartering services)

Don't expect your web designer/developer to operate and/or market your product or service for you It is tempting to expect your web designer/developer to operate your business and send customers to you, but in reality you should not expect this at all unless they offer it to you. Most ofrepparttar 132542 time,repparttar 132543 designer is there to design andrepparttar 132544 developer is there forrepparttar 132545 functionality of your website. There are designers and developers who will help you out, but don't expect them to - you need someone who specializes in online marketing.

Think about who will dorepparttar 132546 maintenance on your website and how often You must know who will manage your website after it's completed. If you won't berepparttar 132547 one to manage it, ask your designer/developer if they will dorepparttar 132548 maintenance for you. Be sure to askrepparttar 132549 fee, how often you will have to payrepparttar 132550 fee, and what is included inrepparttar 132551 fee. If you have a brochure-type website with just contact information, I don't suggest purchasing a maintenance contract. If you have something like a newsletter, or e-commerce site, then it would be worth it to purchase a maintenance contract.

In a nutshell, you need to plan ahead before you jump into an online venture. It can save a lot of frustration and worry if you do your homework first. #
