If you are reading this then no doubt that you have at least heard about the powers of internet advertising, and more than likely you have a website for your Martial Arts business. In this day and age, your martial arts business website is a very powerful marketing tool, but it is useless if no one knows about it. Below are a few simple ways in which you can attract visitors to your martial arts related website for free.
A great way to drive traffic to your martial arts related website is to write articles. They can be specific to your style, or generic articles about things such as self defense, nutrition, general health, martial arts movie or book reviews etc. Once you have written your articles you need to submit them to various article directories. There are many of them out there (google them). Although all of them will serve you as good back links (put your website in your resource box) it is best to make sure you submit it to article directories which specialise in martial arts eg FirstActionArticles.com.
Another good way to promote your website is to regularly participate in martial arts related forums. Post in in them at least once a week. In your signature you can put a link to your website.
One thing you shouldn't overlook, and you should have done this when you first created your website, is to submit your website to search engines. The two most well known ones are Google and Yahoo, but don't stop with those two.
Once you have traffic coming in, you want to keep them coming back. A great way to do this is to build an ezine list. Simply have a link on your site where people can sign up their email address. To entice them you could offer a free ebook, e course, a periodic email, or a combination of these. This is a massive subject on its own. There is plenty of information on this on the internet. Hint; I offer a free ebook on my website firstactionarticles.com which you can redistribute for free as long as you don't change it.
