Of course, you already know about putting your signature link on your business card, certain that might have increased traffic to your website. That's great, but there are three strong offline methods you may have simply overlooked

The first is use of a local marketing and public relations firm. Many are run by skilled single agents. Although the better ones will charge fair market value, their services may not be as out of reach as you might think.

Your local marketing consultant has his or her finger on the pulse of the industry. S/he knows every resource, and will generate ideas about where to promote you. You might be surprised at how fast s/he will be able to determine ways to help you. Their knowledge and fast work will save you time and money.

A common sense and basic rule of business is to expend your energy where your money-making talents lie. While you are focusing on those areas, your marketing consultant is free to do what they do best--promote you and drive visitors to your sites.

The next avenue to consider is the use of your local television or cable company. We've often thought of television and glossy magazine advertising as reserved for the large companies. We overlook it as a source, thinking that it is not something that can afford. Yes, that is often the case.

However, advertising with your local television station or home town cable provider can be surprisingly affordable. It could even go as far as building your visibility as a local celebrity even in just your own home town area. You'd be pleasantly surprised how at far that influence can reach.

Regional and local newspaper editors are more inclined to print your press releases if they know you're a television personality. Google is even reaching toward local markets by acting as an advertising broker between local television affiliates and NBC. Their press release states that the terms of the deal will allow Google advertisers to purchase ads on six cable networks owned by NBC (including Oxygen, MSNBC, Sci-Fi and CNBC. It's the first time Google has brokered ads by way of a television network.

Another option is to offer a local weekend or one-day workshop. You can do it through your local community enrichment program. Alternately, you can go through an organization such as the AAUW, Humane Society, a civic organization or you can even offer the workshop at your community college!

This may not sound as powerful as appearing in your local television ad, but offering a workshop within your community can be a long term solution driving traffic to your website. It is a strategy that every online business person should use.

You already know how to draw up a strong proposal. Make the effort to find out the appropriate contacts and schedule appointments to speak to them. A great way to make contacts is by joining your local Toastmaster or business group.

It will certainly take some work. You might not have an instant client base from your class or group. But you will learn a lot as you spread your name within the community. You might also get some great ideas that will help to build up your online business.

Another great way to increase website traffic is by sending out press releases using offline sources (such as local newspapers and trade magazines) as well as to online paid and free PR services ( PRWeb), for example.

The more work and enthusiasm that you put into this and the more, the greater the benefits will be for you. So stay positive, become proactive, make the most of every online and offline opportunity as you watch your credibility and business reputation grow stronger.
