    There are many actually. You can use SEO, PPC, SMM, and Em to promote your business online. Among all, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the best way to get more traffic on your website. You can use content and link building to get your website a better ranking.

    I would suggest you to start from social media channels, create official accounts of your product/business and promote it there firstly, then you can continue with Google ads

    I would also suggest social media. Its a free and an easy way to grow your presence. Remember to be strategic as with social media you can get many people spamming you. On a strategic side on platforms like Instagram and Twitter use hashtags. This allows your customers to be able to find you using keywords in hashtag form. Separate the hashtags from the content itself with a row or two and then go to town on it! The more hashtags you use the more likely you are to be found. I hope this helps :)

    Well, in my opinion, it would be much easier to recommend something if we knew more. At least tell us what's your niche.
    Anyways, I see you already got many useful but pretty general tips. I want to add my two cents and tell you what I did.
    I decided to invest in SEO, SMM and content marketing. BHW forum helped me to find a decent SEO specialist who helped me to figure things out, choose the right strategy and launch it. Then for my marketing campaigns, I started working with Awesomic services to get graphical content and all the ad campaigns are set by myself. Turned out that it's pretty easy if you spend some time testing different approaches.

    SEM marketing is among the best way to promote a small business online. It is more organic and your product will reach wide real audiences. So, if you invest in a website that delivers this kind of service, it is worth it. If not clear, I'm still here.

    If you're a local small business, start by building some authoritative citations back to your website and help establish some brand presence.

    From there, personally I would run some paid social media campaigns to further your brand exposure and start building a following.

    To start getting real link juice to your website, do a Google search for websites in your niche that accept blog posts. Reach out to the owners with some content suggestions and ask if they are interested.

    Its a slow process but with some hard work, you can get result pretty fast.
