Marketing is one of the most important business factors and often businesses focus on the wrong aspects to get quick follows instead of warm leads. Here, I have just listed the 10 effective marketing strategies that can help your business.

The 10 secret and most effective marketing strategies.

1. Create a directory of websites on a specific topic. Give people the option of adding the directory to their website by linking to it. Put your business advertisement at the top of the directory’s home page. This technique will get lots of people to link to your website and give you free advertising.

2. Do you have a product or service that doesn’t sell well? Offer it as a free bonus for someone else’s product or service. Get free advertising by placing your website or business ad on the product or in the product package.

3. Trade autoresponder ads with other businesses. If both of you send out information with auto-responders just exchange a small classified ad to put at the bottom or top of each other’s autoresponder message.

4. Start a free tip line. Offer a free daily, weekly, or monthly tip recorded on your voice mail. The tips should be related to your business. Include your ad for your website or business at the beginning or end of your message.

5. Exchange content with other websites and e-magazines (ezines). You could trade articles, top ten lists, etc. Both parties could include a resource box at the end of the content.

6. Offer to insert ads into your product package for other businesses. Just ask, in return that they do the same for your business. You should only trade insert ads with businesses that have the same target audience.

7. Offer a free daily class in your website’s chat room. The class should be related to the subject of your business or website. This will get people to visit your website every day.

8. Do you want testimonials before a launch? Offer a summarized version of the full offer in exchange for feedback and testimonials. Bonus points for getting them on a 20-minute call before asking specific pain point-related questions. You’ll get valuable feedback and testimonials from your ideal client which you can use for your sales pages, emails, and content ideas.

9. Place different emotional response ads for the same product or service all over your website. One ad may get better results than another – this is a great way to test what works better for your audience.

10. Publish your e-magazine in e-book format. You could offer a larger number of articles per issue. It also allows you to include graphics with your ezine. Your advertising revenue would increase because you could charge businesses for large color ads.
