How to boost sales even with a slashed marketing budget

Is your marketing budget cut?

If so, you’re not alone.

Marketing and ad budgets have been cut everywhere. But that doesn’t mean you sit still. There are plenty of things you can do get results for very little money; and a lot of things are free.
Let’s look at the freebies:

First off, make sure your company comes up higher in the search engines. Here are a few things you can do at no cost:

- Write articles and submit them to www.ezinearticles.com and other article sites. Search engines like sites they consider experts in their field.  Articles are one way to show your expertise.

- Create a Site Map for Google. It will help them find you. Google suggests it.  Why ignore it?

- Create a blog and get other people to link to it – backlinks. Search engines like sites that other sites think are relevant.

- Comment in other peoples blogs that are in your industry. And make the comments meaningful. Don’t just copy and paste.

- Subscribe to Google Alerts. You can receive an email every day about what’s going on with the keywords that affect you or are related to your industry. It will also give you a list of blogs for your keywords.

- Reuse your content in your blog. It’s a little known strategy but used in the correct way can bring results.

  1. Good suggestions Louie :)
    Here are three more ideas:
    (1) Use those articles you’ve written in your own e-zine or mail newsletter, (2) Get on the speaking circuit, and
    (3) leverage online and social networking to get your target familiar with you as a credible expert in your field.
    Kind regards
