Blogs:
What once seemed to be just a fad is now here to stay. Blogs are great ways to build online reputations as resources of valuable information. Getting people interested enough in your blog to create links is the ultimate goal here. Also, get in touch with bloggers in your niche. Getting them to feature you on their site is a winning ticket.
Viral Marketing:
This marketing technique involves the self-replication of online promotions. Viral promotions can be in the form of video clips, interactive Flash games, images and even text messages. This method is so interesting and effective that we've devoted a whole separate article describing it.
Social Networking:
Sites like FaceBook, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn allow internet users to share ideas, activities, interests and events with others within their individual networks. Since nearly everyone on the internet uses social media, advertisers can market products without demographic limits. Most large companies now have Facebook and Twitter accounts, which are excellent opportunities for link building and generating traffic to a free website.
Social Bookmarking:
Social bookmarking services (del.icio.us, Digg, StumbleUpon, etc.) offer users a way to save their bookmarks, share them with friends, discover new bookmarks that may interest them and more. This is one way for you to promote yourself – by bookmarking your page and spreading it around. But you've got to use this tool carefully and with consideration of each community's rules.
eNewsletters:
Let your users/friends know what goes on in your exciting world with a well-written eNewsletter campaign. This method takes time, and a quality editing process. But the results can be worth it, and the more you invest in your newsletter's quality, the more customers will respond. Online marketing experts agree that newsletters are highly effective tools toward building relationships with customers.
RSS Syndication:
Those orange RSS icons that appear on almost all websites lately stand for "Really Simple Syndication". Syndicate the stories you wrote for your newsletters (tying in the different elements of your eMarketing campaign) directly to users, and draw strong amounts of traffic to your site. It's easy to program this function into websites that don't already have it. In the Wix website builder, you'll find RSS in your Widgets section.
Competitions:
This is a great way to generate hype. Wix can help you create and promote your web competition within your target community.
Online Exhibition:
If your artistic soul is burning for recognition, you may like the idea of exhibiting your works in an online gallery. Wix allows you to create the gallery of your dreams. You can even create multiple rooms when presenting more than one artist.
Invitations:
Promote all kinds of events by creating and distributing invitations that cannot be refused. You can edit and change your invitations anytime. You can even add pics during the event itself.
