Nowadays, digital entrepreneurs and business owners dream about marketing online and reaching out to millions of web users but making it happen is nothing less than a challenge. The very first issues that they come across are exactly how to find and then generate enough online traffic.

Let us divide the main strategies into two main streams:

• Paid Advertising
• Free and Low-Cost Advertising

In a previous blog post, I have mentioned paid marketing strategies. In this blog post, I will focus on Free or low-cost marketing methods and I give you enough clarity on different techniques so you will able to start your first marketing campaign.

Online Classified Websites

Any online business can get a massive amount of exposure using online-classified sites ( also known as  Free Ad Posting Sites). You can place free ads for your business online every day, and targeted people will stumble upon them. This method is good if you are a beginner and want to start with no or extremely limited marketing budget. You can advertise anything from a one-day event like a garage sale to a service like photography. The most popular classifieds are Craigslist, LetGo(OLX), Gumtree, classified ads.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, and it describes the logic behind the ranking of websites when you perform a search on a particular search engine. In short, SEO can be defined as a digital marketing strategy that helps increase the quantity and quality of the traffic to your site. The optimization part of SEO comprises a series of steps that you can take to rank higher on Google (for example) and thus get free organic traffic.

Notice that I said steps, meaning that as long as you follow each of the steps (and are patient) you will notice great results. Although it may seem tedious and painful at the start, SEO can actually be rather fun and easy to implement. But what are these steps?

The core difference between blogging and content marketing is Content marketing drives meaningful results. In other words, Blogging is a tool, and Content marketing is the operating system it works within. Content marketing generates over three times as many leads as outbound marketing and costs 62% less.
