How can I market my new online website with limited resources?

SWINGNDANCE asked:

I’m starting an online social networking website business, but I have very limited resources. How can I market or advertise my site to as many people as possible with very little or no money? How did other companies such as myspace, friendster or facebook do it?

    Submit your URL to as many search engines as possible. I create my own websites and blogs. That allows me to choose what kind of income myself. I work more make more. I tell myself that I have to create at least a new page everyday so that it’ll become more informatic. I gather all informations and post in my website. This will increase my visitors everyday. I cannot post my own url here because there are people who complaint that I spam. I don’t need to spam and have no intention to spam. Try my method and hope it’ll make you a happier person. You can take this as a secondary income while looking for a new job. You can create your own websites or blogs @ blogger.com and put up your products’ photos and services if you have any. If you can create websites or blogs and can type, you can make online money online easily. You may make money by publishing Google Adsense on your websites. If you have a website or a web-blog, you could make money by publishing advertisements on your site (by google). If someone clicks on those ads, you will earn money. If you don’t have a website, you may start creating web-blogs
    like blogger.com (mostly free) with advertisements (google ads) on it. Some free websites don’t allow you to publish google adsense because they are doing it themself.
    There’s always room for improvements for people like this lady I found here She have some freebies in her blog. I know she will make it. This is just an example. All this are free methods

    Life is becoming faster & faster, nobody has time to visit to your site.No matter how great the products you’re selling are, people aren’t going to beat a path to your door to get them. You need to bring the products to the customers.So DIRECT marketing is the BEST strategy.(I am also following the same)

    The advice on creating viral methods of promotion is where you should concentrate your efforts.

    Pay per Click (PPC) is a guaranteed method of getting visitors to your website. You want to make sure that your site converts visitors into users before comitting significant money.

    PPC costs have risen recently, but one way that you can get free advertising is to sign up for a new PPC search engine called BigDaddy.

    You get your own search portal which returns good search results, plus you get ppc credits that you can use to advertise your website.

    If others join via your link, you also get credits for their searches, enabling you to extend your advertising.

    There are options for paid upgrades, but I’d avoid those if money is tight.

    I’d also recommend that you investigate blogging.

    Overall, no one technique will be sufficient to get you the traffic you need. Building a portfolio of traffic generators, is the way to go.
