I have been asked on several occasions, how do I get my business out there when you have a limited or no budget for advertising? First off...create a Brand (name etc) and use that ALWAYS so people know who you are and what you have available that may interest them.
The first way is to create your Business Center here on Apsense. Then create groups you can host (you can look around apsense to see what others are doing and then create your own original group) Just be sure that you moderate your group to be sure that you are getting quality posts and not just someone advertising. That way you will not hurt your Apsense ratings.
The Second : join Gmail..it is free! You are then asked to create a google profile (much like your Apsense profile). This is also free to do and it is easy as well AND it gets you listed in Google Search for FREE.
Make sure you post something each day from your Google+ profile, not just advertising for your business...post something that people will really read and look for.
(Example: you are selling cook books...post a new recipe from said book each week and at the end of the post..add the link where they can purchase your book.)
You also need to do a lot of social networking, facebook is great ....you would need to create a personal profile first and then create a Business page, Then once your business page is finished you can invite your friends to like your page.
What ever you do make sure you do NOT spam people! Post an ad maybe once a day and never more than twice in one day or people will stop following you ...or worse...they will block you!
I have posted the link to my Google+ profile below just so you can see an example of one...you can see my business center from here so you do not need a link for that....also join some groups that offer help and advice here on Apsense! There are plenty of good hearted people here that will really enjoy helping you!
Good luck to you !!
