Link To Complimentary Businesses
Putting a site together and leaving it sit without marketing
it is like creating a brochure and leaving it in a box in
your garage – it’s going to accomplish nothing. Instead,
you have to promote your business website address in many
different ways.
Try linking yourself to other businesses. By placing a link
between you and another business, you are creating another
way of people finding your business. You are sharing the resources
of the other business to grow both of your businesses together.
How many links does it take to make a difference? Consider
what would happen if you link to a business that gets 1000
hits per day. Even if only a fraction of those people come
to your site, you could potentially add several new clients
a week. Now imagine having several links providing you with
this exposure. The possibility for adding new clients grows
enormous in a very short time.
Begin small. Concentrate on getting one link a week. Choose
several complimentary businesses, and contact them by email,
phone and/or snail mail about a possible link exchange. One
link a week will add up to 52 over a year. And the more links
you get, the more popular your website will be, the easier
it will be to get the links.
Want an added bonus? Linking to good quality websites boosts
your rankings in the search engines! So for just a little work
per week, you will be exposing your business to thousands of
new potential clients that otherwise would have never known
of your business.
