how to advertise my internet business with no money?
Kiss Me asked:
I started an online business www.ladiesroomonline.com which sells products from high end manufacturers such as Kama Sutra, Doc Johnson and many more but I cannot seem to market my business to get the views that I need. Does anyone know how I can advertise my business on the internet for little to no money seeing that I am just starting out.
I have already joined network events but its not helping.

The best way to advertise for free is to be active on social networking sites such as stumbleupon, and digg. Also find forums on your pertain to your business and be active there aswell. You have to really put effort in this or it will not work.
You can also write articles about your site and submit to ezinearticles.com
Here is a site that is not free but can gain you traffic fast
Goodluck!

These are free;
Here are a few sites to help you: (they are still allowing me to submit sites for free with this)- the affiliate program is free- use the free $20 dollar offer, do $5.00 a day for 4 days
kijiji.com
adpost.com
salesspider.com
jayde.com
freewebsubmission.com
backpage.com
These cost money, but they are good, and your money goes a long way: $200, you can get your Website or ad on the first page of all major search engines for life,giving away this free, brandable software
Here is a good reference site that ranks all sites on the web by traffic volume:

The others who have responded have offered some very good information, most of which I can only echo. Bottom line is that you’ll need to invest time if you’re not able to invest money.
* Social networking can work very well. You need to spend time meeting people, responding to their questions, and promoting your product personally.
* Traffic exchange networks are OK, too. You need to spend time viewing other sites to build up credits to get your site seen, and the audience is mostly other people wanting to get THEIR site seen
Another idea is to create a blog with information related to your product, with useful information - not just a sales pitch.
Another idea is to search the web for other people who are selling something similar or related to your product. Exchange links with them. Add a link to their site on yours, and ask them to do the same for you. This can boost your search engine ratings (a little), especially when the other site has content that is associated with your product.
I hope these help. My website has some links to free advertising, you’ll find the home page URL below.
