    I think that, especially now, social media is a very strong way of reaching customers and promoting your business.

    If you have a Facebook fan page for your business, you can do a ton of stuff from there. You can sell directly from your fan page, you can offer coupons and discounts, you can post links to your store to drive traffic, the possibilities are almost limitless!

    Most definitely. A smart blogging campaign (with the right kind of social media work surrounding it) is WITHOUT QUESTION one of the easiest and most cost-effective kinds of marketing that can be done online.

    Hi David,

    I agree with your statement that SEO, advertising on social media and providing discounts will increase your sales. But you have forgot about advertising on websites and affiliate marketing. This is the trending methods to increase your sales and to promote your business.

    Hi David,
    When compared to other techniques, loyalty program increases the retention of the existing or loyal customers and also it will attract more number of new customers towards the website. Loyalty program helps the business owners to grab the attention of all customers by offering reward points, discounts, and deals for them. It is the best marketing technique that are using by many companies around the world.

    yeah I'm with #2 here on the blogging aspect. I think one quite overlooked avenue for selling amazing products is Instagram. It's such a visual platform and some products sell like hot cakes using it.

    Blogging and SEO are solid strategies and should definitely be part of your plan. However, they are a long term solution. It simply takes time to generate traffic via traditional blogging methods.

    If you want fast results, paid search or FB ads will be your best bet. Plus they're a great way to vet your products' viability in the marketplace.

    If paid ads aren't within your budget, one blogging technique that will bring in traffic quicker than any other is to guest post. Not just on any site. Find the top blogs in your niche, and figure out a way to get in front of the blog owner and pitch them an amazing piece of content. Leverage their traffic and influence...something your own site/brand may not have for months or years down the road.

    What you should Do
    1. Being active on search engines is very important. Actually that keeps the system up. And the gold word that I want to underscore is that content is the foundation to a solid natural optimization. Social signals and distribution is the purpose of the Link Building Office long term strategy. Flawless content and link building strategies is the key and solution that anyone can do. Sharing your content is what all about. Exposing it on the right places will bring the right traffic all the time.
    2. Digging for natural links, niche links is one method that still stands up and will stand for a long period. You win credibility, traffic and lose the effect of controlling the anchors. This way you get a strong natural link, that backlinks to your website with no further problems.
    3. Use nofollow in link building, the new methodology.

    A loyalty program is a great idea. I work for a customer loyalty software platform called The Loyalty Box, which allows you to create any kind of program on your own including gift cards/codes, points programs, etc. You can sign up for a free 14-day trial at http://www.theloyaltybox.com if you're interested.

    Business cards is also preferable. It is a traditional way to help promote your business. Designs and logos that you'll put in the business card can be really a frustrating thing to do. If you've got the budget, you can check on business card printing companies out there.
