Make your Q&A posts into a video, or make any past “how to” blog post into a video. Video has become a common way for others to gain knowledge and learn important information, not to mention to help rank your site. Start using video today, even if you are just using simple photos.

CROSS-PROMOTE WITH A COMPLIMENTARY BUSINESS
If you know others that already market to your audience, contact them and make a deal to cross-promote each other’s products and services. This is different from affiliate marketing. An affiliate receives a portion of what is earned for each product sold, while cross-promotion is a mutually beneficial promotion of both businesses’ product or service.
ANOTHER ONE OF THE MARKETING TIPS THAT WORKS WELL FOR US: MAKE FACEBOOK A FAMILIAR SITE
One of the most effective ways of gaining loyal customers is to be active on Facebook. Sharing news, connecting with fans, holding competitions and persuading your fans to share information is great for getting your product in front of the right eyes. Although using Facebook can be time-consuming, it has the power to help increases sales. Invest some time learning how to market with Facebook.
USE TWITTER TO INCREASE SALES AND PROMOTE PRODUCTS
Once you have a number of followers, you have people who are interested in your brand or your products and you can promote any new products or information to this audience. If they like what they see, there is a good chance they will share the information you tweet with other followers. This requires time for it to have a significant effect on sales. Be sure to avoid being too self-promotional so as not to annoy your followers.
PINTEREST HAS EXPLODED ONTO THE SCENE – TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT
Here’s one of my favorite marketing tips: Pinterest enables users to create themed boards to which they can pin images from across the web. The ease of creating a pin, and the number of people willing to re-pin things they like, can be great for exposing your products and website to a whole new crowd.
So, set up a free and easy Pinterest account. Even if you don’t see much traffic initially, the more you pin and are re-pinned, the greater the increase to your traffic. Make sure your site has nice graphics and pin directly from there!

START USING GOOGLE SHOPPING- PROMOTE YOUR PRODUCT
If you are actively selling products online, one great way of promoting the products is to get them listed on the Google shopping results. These results are sometimes displayed on the Google search results pages for various product queries. It’s a great way to gain business and send more traffic to your website, especially if your business offers products cheaper than your competitors.

KNOW THE POWER OF VIDEOS
Today, create a well thought out, informative and good quality video. There is a huge audience on YouTube for video reviews of products and services.
Videos also appear in the search results within Google and other search engines, typically getting shown on the first page. It’s a good way of gaining an audience for more competitive keywords or just dominating that page if you’re already ranking for that keyword. Check out the video to get a great overview of creating a YouTube Channel and Video!
GET REVIEWS
Reviews from other sites can send traffic and increase conversions. Displaying customer reviews on your own website encourages more purchases since users can see that others have previously used the site and have been happy with their experience or products.
Try a combination of both types of reviews: Perhaps you can get people to your site with external reviews and then close the deal by having happy customers talking about your product or service.
EVERYONE LOVES SOMETHING FOR FREE
Give away a freebie to help gain new customers. Some companies give a customer a free item if they register their email or if they send a Tweet to their Twitter followers.
