Method 1. The first major method is article marketing but you can't just say blah here is an ad you, have to help people out with tips and thing's related to what you're talking about. It works the best when you give someone a plan or a step by step process on how to do something.

People love that type of stuff....

Method 2. Using Social Networks. It's perfect because they are free to join and there are millions of people using them every day .

Talking about every subject under the sun. So no matter what niche you are in or service you offer you will always find people related to your area of expertise.

Method 3. Chatting it up in forums. Giving value and tips in forums is a great way to earn credibility and drive some traffic to your websites. If you're new to forums just type in your niche and forum, in any major search engine and you will be able to sign up.

Method 4. Free traffic Exchanges: They are not the best, but they do get traffic to your website and your looking for free adverting so join a couple and track your results. If it works for you, keep going if it doesn't don't continue.

Method 5. Free Classifieds using free classified is some what of a time consuming task but you can get results if you use the right websites. Just make sure your stuff is in the right category and you are clear in your classified about what your offer is.

You want to be relevant. The more relevant your are the more money you will make. Method 6. Manually posting your website to free SEO directories is another way to get your business off the ground it takes a long time but if you submit your site, in some cases it is a permanent presence on the web.

Method 7. Videos it's no brainer here, according to Google's CEO up words of 13 hours+ of video are being uploaded to you tube every minute and that is just one video website, not to mention the other 50 sites that you can upload to.

So there are ways that advertising for free online will work for. These methods for the most part are more powerful than even paid advertising in my opinion.
