If you are looking for free advertising opitons, you are probably a member of advertising forums. Some of them have a of lot visitors, good content posts, some of them are just like URL submisson services.
In order to get the most out of free, you must take 3 steps to get things going.
1.Step
After you register, read forum rules first. Set up your profile, decide what other members can see (your email) and what information you will keep private.
2.Step
Edit your signature
This is probably the most important moment. If you create a good signature file, interestng one, it can bring your link a lot of exposure.
Think about, is this your site, you want to promote, is this an affiliate link or whatever link you have,put some words in it, dont just post a link.
3.Step
Introduce yourself to forum members.
Research topics and read some posts, to get the feeling where to post. Dont submit the same post to all topics!
Dont post links in your post, your previous created signature file will be there with every post you create.
If you decide to change your promo url, you can
edit and change your signature.
There are free forums where you can post your link, post ads and even get a free website.
Some of the new forums are even better.
They offer you credits for every post you create, for every post you read and credits are used to display your own Ad. You still have your signature file,so you can easily promote two opportunities for free.
So, you can get credits for reading posts, for posting your own thoughts.All the things you already do as a forum member, but with a lot more exposure.
If you are an article writer, you can post your articles .
If you are an expert on something (everyone is an expert of something :) you can give some advice to members asking for help.
Remember:
Share your ideas with forum members, create smart signature file and brand your name.
