How to do marketing for a new product by simple ways and not cost much money?

Answer 1

A few free resources – check out the sources box for links:

1) Create a blog pertaining to your field

2) Use Yahoo! Local & Yahoo! Groups – Be sure to read the TOS for each one!

3) Write articles pertaining to your field and/or expertise.

Also, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other's sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates & the program are paid a commission.

I listed a few handy sites & articles relating to marketing, promotion & advertising. Here are some book titles that are relevant:

Depends on the product, but I have heard of people that visit chat rooms on line and talk up the product as if they were a consumer of that product and not the distributor. It worked well for them, approx. 50% of their business came from that advertising. And it didn't cost them anything.
