We are in business to make money, it's as simple as that. We have a product that we know can make us money, or we have a service that we know people need. We could have the best looking website on the internet, but if people cannot find the website, then we have problems. Thats why we need to advertise our business, and promote the life out of it, if we want to succeed and make money.

Advertising your business can be costly if you do not know what your doing. You can pay some big SEO company thousands of dollars, or spend thousands of dollars on PPC, to get your website noticed. But, your in business to make money, not spend it, so maybe you don't want to try this method. Or maybe your on a budget, and you cannot afford these methods either. Well, in either case, your in luck, as there are ways to promote your business that cost very little, or in some cases, nothing at all.

Now that i have you interested, i will tell you how to get trafic to your website, without spending any money. Social networking websites, this is a good source of free traffic. They have millions of users, so this is a good place to start.

When you think of social netowrking websites, you probably think to yourself, that places like this are just used to meet people and make friends. This is correct. But, did you know that social networking websites can also be used for businesses, after all, this is how social network sites started out, for businesses. If your a business owner, then you can use social networking to your advantage.

As stated earlier, social networking sites are great for promoting your business, altho they are nowadays used for making friendships but don't let this put you off using them. Millions of people access these social networking websites each day, and many of these people are potential customers, so it is definatley a valuable resource. There are many social networking websites, Myspace, Facebook Yahoo 360 and many others.

When signing up at a social networking website it is best to make a profile about yourself, and not your business. Of course the purpose of you joining the social networking website is to gain new customers, so include information about your business in your profile also, so you will have the profile about yourself and also about your business. The reason for this is that people sem to hate a profile thats business based, but if you keep it about yourself and your busines then you will be fine.

By having a profile that is both personal and business based, you should be able to generate interest in your business, and gain customers/sales. There are many social networking websites out there, but it is best to join one of the big ones like Facebook, Yahoo 360 etc as more people gives you more of a chance of doing well.
