    SEO, banners, forum promotion, promoting by yourself .
    They cost less, however they take you more time .

    They are all scams!

    You can use Article marketing, squidoo lens', hubpages, directory submissions... they can all be done for free

    Hi there,

    There are lots of things you can do that either don't cost any money at all or just a very little.

    1. create an email opt in list (you can buy or rent one if you've got the money)
    2. post on forums:)
    3.post on blogs
    4.post on myspace
    5. post on facebook
    6. update on twitter
    7. submit to social bookmarking sites

    I have two websites that were created by "experts" but were quite frankly going nowhere. Then I came upon a video program by Michael Cheney that taught me how to do all this internet marketing stuff step by step, and now things are starting to happen for me.

    Hope that helps,
    A.

    Hi,

    Good videos on youtube and other popular video sites work for a lot of people. It's free advertising and is there forever!

    Articles, forums, and blogging are all great ways to get targetted traffic. For articles and blogging, you will want to do some keyword research to make it most effective.

    Youtube is a great way to market.Just create a video which makes curiosity with a good title.You can get high traffic by adding your video as a video response to another video which is getting heavy traffic.

    This is really a great ebook which explains everything about Youtube marketing.

    Hope it helps.

    Get as many backlinks as possible for your website and use the right keywords as your anchor text. You should be able to get lots of traffic from the search engine if you do that.

    Getting a press release for your website is a good strategy too. Try it.

    Honestly - since you are new and probably don't know a lot
    about writing copy or making persuasive offers - well, you'll
    lose money on rented lists.

    Think long-term. If you don't you'll do desperate dumb things
    and lose a lot of money. Built a list. Send good emails.
    Entertain people - then sell stuff to them.

    Build A LIST!

    Everything else online is B-School marketing to list-building.

    List-building is A-School. Study persuasive marketing. Study
    what persuades you. Imitate the good stuff. Read books
    on copywriting,
    persuasion,
    &
    by all means, for godsakes - "Think and Grow Rich"

    Specific methods - among the best are press releases, comments
    on blogs, and forum comment marketing. All build backlinks to
    your website URL - which you own, right?

    Start with those. If you can't write good content - learn how.
    There is no try. Just do it or don't do it.

    I like the A-list marketing from the previous post. Look at Early to Rise its a Million Dollar Business build on that principle.

    Building your own list of leads is the way to go when you are thinking of making money online.Sign up for newsletters from Joel Comm and Michael Cheney, these guys have made millions with email marketing.See how they market their products in their emails and learn from them.

    One word promotion, best way. No one will visit if they don't know the link.

    I use myspace, youtube, forums, and yahoo groups as my primary drivers.

    My website is extremely niche based so it's best to find those who are interested in what I report on.

    The best targetted traffic is via ppc, then SEO, then probably articles/links from relevant sites.

    You shouldn't really go down the email route, unless you build your own list. Otherwise its just spam which is normally really untargetted.

    Best thing invest your time in writing some nice articles with good backlinks to your site, that way you get some traffic plus SEO benefits.

    Using email blasts is absolutely worthless, I would suggest you work on organically growing traffic by finding relevant sites and getting backlinks. With these you can begin targeting various keywords that you will naturally get traffic to through Google.
