Posted October 6, 2015 Hi, I've started a small business (SZ-Technology) and I'm looking for ways to advertise it cheaply/for free. I have already implemented some techniques Current implemented: - Affiliation with people in targeted demographic. (discount codes for their audience, they get paid per referral) (only taking small part of profit) - social media (Free) - A website (in my bio (shameful plug )) (Free so far) Current ideas: - Flyers (have some ideas) (Free) - Stickers ($$$) - Branded Products (shirts, usbs, etc) ($$$)- Joining Business forums ETC (Free) Any other ideas??? Thanks! P.S Feel free to advertise your small business in this thread, as well as some of your techniques) Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/462340-cheapfree-advertising-techniques/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 6, 2015 Author You should make a Youtube Channel, Face Book Page, Twitter Account, just get involved with the community promote your services or products on the sites. I would consider creating a video advertisement as well promoting the business. channel is in the works, facebook page exists, twitter exists, video ad not yet Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/462340-cheapfree-advertising-techniques/#findComment-6204948 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 6, 2015 Best advertisement is the spread of the world from friends to another friends. Also you really need a realwebsite to fully start off because people may think your are scammer with fake/free website... You should persuade your customers to post good review of your website/business high reviews on review sites/forums. You could use small Youtuber because aiming for large ones would leads to nothing due the fact their mostly looking for more well established business. I have small Youtube channel which does CSGO videos i can help you with some advertisement and also i got some friends which are interesting going into PC gaming and been asking me for help.
