Free Advertising for Your Blog

One of the hardest parts about writing a blog like Northern Cheapskate is finding readers. I do my best to post often and I try to write things that you will find interesting and helpful. I also love sharing coupons and bargains with you.

I have a passion for my frugal lifestyle, and a really want to empower and inspire my readers... and I want a lot of readers. I've been thinking about advertising but didn't want to spend any money.

So I was excited to read about Entrecard on Kacie's website on Sense-to-Save. Entrecard allows you to advertise your website on other people's blogs for FREE! I joined and am finding lots of great new websites.

It's easy. You sign up and then put the little Entrecard widget on your website. Other Entrecard members can "drop" their advertisements into your widget and you can do the same on their websites. It's similar to dropping a business card. You can custom design your own ad, and you get e-mail alerts when people want to advertise on your site. You have the power to approve or decline each advertiser. You get credits every time someone drops a card at your site or when you drop cards at other sites. You can use those credits to "purchase" advertising on bigger, better known blogs to get your name out there.

I am really enjoying Entrecard and have gotten some new readers from it. I'm also enjoying discovering new blogs.

If you're looking for a way to grab some new readers without spending any money, I highly recommend trying Entrecard.
