So what happens if you don't have or are not ready to get a website? What are some ways you can advertise for free online? Let's start with one simple avenue for your business! https://biz.yelp.com/ Kind of like a yellow pages directory with customer reviews and other nifty features...it is free to "claim" or list your business. Most businesses already have a listing on yelp but when you claim it, you can upload photos of your place or product and add nifty things to your profile. It's free so try it if you haven't already.

“The tools Yelp provides for tracking the success of our ad campaign prove that we are spending our money on engaging, ground-level marketing.”

Nobody said you had to find new and exciting information to go social with every time you post. Why not reshare your own info/stories but give the share title a twist on the verbiage. Looks like fresh new stuff, and most everyone may not have read it the first time around. Read this if you're worried about publishing new information and just get in the habit of republishing information you have already found!

"Content Shared More than Once Might Go Viral
Not long ago, one of our own writers had a post go viral a full month after it was originally published, thanks to her implementation of this exact social promotion strategy. Julie’s message schedule was pretty simple. She tweeted once when the post went live, and then repeated it once 30 days later. The first tweet went relatively unnoticed, but the second one (a full month later) took off."

One great way to do this is to share your content on social media more than once.

Love these tips. If you know you need to keep up with your social media. Try reading this article first. Besides valuable information, the article also gives you links to helpful tools!
"HubSpot Social Media Manager Robyn Showers tweets from the account 24 or more times per day, not including replies to other Twitter users. To save time, she uses Social Inbox to schedule tweets in bulk by uploading them from a spreadsheet. (HubSpot customers: Learn how to use the bulk scheduling tool here.) "I also tend to schedule Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+ posts several days ahead of time," says Showers."

Friendly little WordPress Tip of the Day. We all need more search engine friendly websites. Here's a simple way to make your WordPress website a bit more friendly. Make sure your website designer or you have done this.

"The default installation of WordPress uses URLs like www.example.com/?p=1234 to point to your individual blog articles. While this works fine for modern search engines, changing the default so that your links look like www.example.com/category/title-of-post has a few additional benefits."
