One of the biggest problems that Internet marketers face when they venture into any online business is the costs involved in getting traffic to your website or blog. For many this is such an issue that they give up entirely. It is however important to note that you can get those ever important eyeballs on your site without braking the bank. So let me share a few ways that you can do this.

1. You first need a website or a blog if you really want to get the most out of these strategies. There are many places out there that can give you a great start if you are just beginning. Google Blogs, WordPress.com and Blogger.com are just a few places where you can start for a very low cost if not free. And these are just the tip of the iceberg. If you look around you will find many that offer a very good service. Just read the reviews to make sure.

2. Once you have your site or blog up and running start building links to your site. You do this by trading links with other sites or blogs that are related to your business or product. There are many ways to build links to your site. Just type in link building on Google or Yahoo and see what you get.

3. Send out newsletters to your subscribers that are to the point, informative and helpful. Make sure they are written to a general audience. On your website or blog offer an e-mail subscription to your readers to build this list and then send out regular information that will keep the interest in your products. You should really look into list building as this will greatly enhance your growth of your business.

4. Write articles related to your site. There are many places to publish your articles and this when they are published they will create links to your website that will get your site indexed by Google and the likes and will move you up in the search rankings. There are many reputable article submission websites like EzineArticles.com where you can publish your article at no or low cost.

5. You can also visit forums related to your topic and leave links to your site or blog in your signature box. Just remember that you need to be helpful in a forum and actually bring some value to the discussions or you will be kicked out real fast.

You need to remember that if you want to keep the cost down so you need to do a lot of legwork to make your business work and be successful. Most people start out this way and then reinvest the money they make back into the business to grow it. When you reach this stage then you can start outsourcing many things like article writing, link building and search engine optimization.
