1. Directory Linking Create a directory of web sites on a specific topic.
Give people the option of adding the directory to their web site by linking to it. Put your business advertisement at the top of the director's home page. This technique will get lots of people to link to your web site and give you free advertising.

2. Bonus Advertising Do you have a product or service that doesn't sell good? Offer it as a free bonus for someone else's product or service. Get free advertising by placing your web site or business ad on the product or in the product package.

3. Autoresponder Trade Trade autoresponder ads with other businesses.
If both of you send out information with auto-
responders just exchange a small classified ad to put at the bottom or top of each other's autoresponder message.

4. Tip Line Start a free tip line. Offer a free daily, weekly, or monthly tip recorded on your voice mail. The tips should be related to your business. Include your ad for your web site or business at the beginning or end of your message.

5. Content Swap Exchange content with other web sites and ezines.
You could trade articles, top ten lists, etc. Both parties could include a resource box at the end of the content.
