I figured it was time to add some more substance to my blogs; less about me and more about you.

On that note, I’ve put together a 6 part blog on cheap (and creative) ways to market your website or blog. Here goes the first one:

Add your URL to the signature of every one of your email accounts!

How many emails do you send each day? 10? 20? 100? By adding your website’s URL to the signature of each of your emails, that gives you that many more opportunities to remind people to check out your site.

Granted, it may not generate the most amount of UNIQUE traffic, but it will remind everyone you email to visit the site. However, in a round about way, it may generate unique traffic through word of mouth or even by your friends forwarding on your email to their friends.

Best of all, it’s free and it takes about 5 seconds to do.

To give you a real example, when I started The New Business Blog, I wasn’t getting as much traffic as I had hoped. I was averaging about 25 hits per day, which by most standards is pretty low. So, in order to help get the word out, I added http://www.thenewbusinessblog.com to the signature line of each of my email accounts.

Slowly but surely, I began to notice that each day I was getting a couple of more hits to the site.

While adding the signature line to my outgoing emails wasn’t the only thing that helped to increase traffic, I know that it accounted for at least a couple more hits.

Now, go take 5 seconds out of your busy life and add your website to the signature line of all of your email accounts.
