The goal of business owners is to make money, Right? However, to sell the product or service that you provide you need a way to get your message to your potential
prospects. After all customers can't buy from you if they don't know that you exist.

When it comes to advertising there are many business owners who literally cringe because advertising can cost big bucks. And as a business owner you want to make money not spend it! Although you may have to spend money to make your business what you want it to be, there are ways to promote your business and the products or services that you sell without having to spend any money on advertising.

In comes social networking.....

Did you know that a large number of Internet users, in fact millions of them, belong to at least one social networking site if not more.

Many of them are using social networks for business. In fact, that was originally how social networking got started. If you are a small business owner, especially one that operates an online business, there is a way that you can use social networking to your advantage.

Although social networking sites are traditionally focused on those that would like to make online friends or develop online relationships, there are networking sites that are  designed just for business owners. If you have a website that is selling products or services, you may find it pretty easy to use social networking sites to your advantage. This is because, if you wish, you could do product or service spotlights. Each day, week, or month, you could showcase one of the products or services that your website sells. This could either be done right on your profile page or on a blog page, which is provided by most social networking websites.

When it comes to promoting your blog on social networking websites, you have a number of different options. Your first option is to include a link to your blog in your community profile or profile page. This will allow other community members to checkout your blog, only if they wish to do so. The other way is to inform your online friends of your blog through private messages. Once you join a social networking website and create or join a network of friends, you should easily be able to communicate with those friends. Sending each of your friends a private message with information and a link to your blog tends to be more effective than just placing a link in your profile or on your profile page.

As you can easily see, there are a number of different ways that you can promote your online website, no matter what type of website you have or what you use it for. By keeping the above mentioned points in mind, you should be able to see an increase in your page views, in no time at all.
