Good for you, butrepparttar 121214 idea is only halfrepparttar 121215 battle. Communicating your idea torepparttar 121216 masses through marketing isrepparttar 121217 key to driving traffic to your site and generating business for you. If you’re like many new or small businesses onrepparttar 121218 Internet you either don’t have a big marketing budget or you are not willing to invest too much in your new idea until you see some results.

How do you get started? If you don’t market your site, nobody will visit it. If nobody visits, sales will be zero. And if sales are zero,repparttar 121219 idea will die. Here are 5 tips to get your on-line venture up and running:

Start Making Headlines: Is your new product or service an interesting one? If so, a publisher somewhere inrepparttar 121220 world will probably agree and will be willing to write a news article about your new website launch. There are thousands of publications out there, both on-line and off-line, that are looking for news stories to pass on to their readers. If you’ve just invented a new type of model airplane, searchrepparttar 121221 Internet to find websites that are part ofrepparttar 121222 Model Airplane hobbyist community. Prepare a small news release or writerepparttar 121223 website editor a quick e-mail to invite them to visit your site. If they like what they see, they will probably feature your new idea in an upcoming article on their website or magazine and they will likely include your website address. Now readers ofrepparttar 121224 publication can find you online, resulting in highly targeted free traffic for your business. COST – $0

Write your own Article: If you can’t get anyone’s attention for your new idea, then write your own article. Since your site is all about model airplanes, you are an expert onrepparttar 121225 topic. Those same publications I mentioned above who are looking for news items are also looking for expert opinion articles and advice for their readers. So write a 500-word article on a current issue inrepparttar 121226 model airplane community. Then find websites that publish articles onrepparttar 121227 topic of model airplanes and send them your article along with a request to publish it and your URL if they findrepparttar 121228 article useful. (Atrepparttar 121229 end of your article, type a few lines about your business, just as I have atrepparttar 121230 bottom of this article. This is called a resource box, and it is included with your article whenever it is published on another website or in an e-zine). COST - $0

Ask for a Review : If you don’t have a new idea, and you aren’t much of a writer, then ask for a review of your product or service from an established website or e-zine. Reviews are regularly published both on-line and off-line as a way for editors to keep their readers up to date on new product or service offerings in their industry. By requesting a review, you are openingrepparttar 121231 door to some very good publicity ifrepparttar 121232 review is favorable. However, there is some risk. An unfavorable review may hurt your reputation, and once you ask for a review you can’t controlrepparttar 121233 opinion ofrepparttar 121234 editor. COST - $0
