If you’re looking to promote your website, here are 21 simple things you can do. Some of these methods are free, while other methods cost money. I suggest you pick no more than 2-4 of these strategies and then focus exclusively on those methods. 

# 1 Email Signatures. Create a catchy email signature that links back to your website.

# 2 Make Sure Your Site is Fast & Responsive. This should be self-explanatory, but check to make sure your website loads quickly in different browsers.

# 3 Email Marketing. Start building an email list and send emails that redirect people back to your website several times per week.

# 4 Forum & Blog Comments. Find several popular forums that are relevant to your niche and set up a profile. When you do that, you can add in a link to your website. Interested people can read your posts and comments and then click on your link to learn more about what you do. 

# 5 Podcasting. Repurpose some of your content into podcasts. This is similar to a radio program. I simply clip the audio out of my videos and convert my videos into podcasts.

# 6 Create Killer Content. Create content that people want to check out and share with others.

# 7 Send Out 1-2 Tweets Daily. Create a Twitter account, add followers, and send out a few tweets each day.

# 13 Yahoo Answers. Consider responding to questions on Yahoo. In some cases, you can link back to your website.
