Where is free advertising on the Internet. Where to place your music online? Thematic directories for your business

Perhaps, any musician, composer or arranger always wants to acquaint people with their works, to find out their opinion about their work. Someone needs technical advice from professionals, someone needs detailed reviews, and someone needs criticism...

Either way, the surest way to get your music out to the public is to put your music on the internet. Of course, no one has canceled the well-known social networks such as VKontakte, but still, it is better to place music on resources specially designed for this, where you can also find useful contacts with musicians, sound engineers, producers and other specialists in the music and sound environment.

This article proposes a list of Russian-language Internet resources where you can (and should) post your music to the judgment of a wide audience.

A community of musicians, sound engineers, organizers of performances and in general everyone who is related to music. On the site you can find musicians and specialists involved in the creation and promotion of musical products.

Very useful internet resource, which provides free and legal listening to a wide variety of music. Also, of course, you can post your own music on the site.

Community of creative people different directions. Here you can post your entries artwork, literary works and photographs, the ownership of which is confirmed on legal grounds. Each member of the community builds a system of circles for their fans, who download copyrighted works and pay for them according to the "Pay as much as you don't mind" principle.

In principle, already from the name itself, it is so easy to understand that this site is a very, very large Internet platform for the distribution of legal media content of various genres and styles. Register and upload your tracks for everyone to see.

With the help of the Muuz.ru music portal, you can not only attract new fans of your work, but also enable those who already know and listen to you to do it even more simply and conveniently. You can upload your albums, tracks, photos, lyrics, get likes and new fans, view detailed listening statistics, and put links to your site and social networks.

The main goal of the site is to help people to acquaint a wide audience with their work. Here you can post your music and get opinions about it from other users. Everyone has the opportunity to write a review or leave a comment.

A well-known and needless to introduce resource that provides an opportunity to publish their work for DJs, musicians, club photographers, vocalists and poets. Users can view new items and evaluate them, and promoters can attract an audience to their events.

A project for solo singers who want to show their creativity to others and get feedback. You can register your music profile, select a genre and upload materials: music, video, photos. There is a system of ratings and assessments of materials from other performers.

A project for creative people where you can post your music through popular services. There is support for working with Yandex.Music, Soundcloud and YouTube, you can give a link to the artist's iTunes, post articles and information about concerts. There is a possibility of both free placement of music and paid (the amount is symbolic). Music is hosted on a third-party server, so it is not possible to illegally download it.

Frequent question. I have already answered it a little as part of an article about the promotion of information sites. But it was more about where you can promote a site that consists of articles.

But not only informational sites are promoted with articles, you can also make an article about a product or brand, and promote a corporate website.

You can post on other sites:

1) as announcements of those articles that are on your site,
2) and completely unique articles (not duplicating your articles) with links to any pages of your site.

1) promote the content itself, the brand, the idea - educate people, inform, improve recognition, make touches
2) use the promotion of articles only for the sake of the link mass within the relevant content.

Whole big articles(often with a link in words) can be placed in the following types of sites:

This is NOT a prioritized list, just a list.

Article directories
It seems to be the first thing that comes to mind. But they are created primarily for SEO purposes, so they are spammed with materials with obvious SEO links, search engines determine all this. I recommend them very little, except very selectively and as a last resort.

Blogging systems
It's already better. Most often, this is “create a blog” on some portal. In the TOP Base, they hide inside the “Social Networks and Blog Systems” section. Often in Social networks there are some opportunities that I have not tracked for posting full-fledged material on a blog, and sometimes I duplicate - I give some site both in the "Social Networks" category, and its "blogs" section - in the "Blogging systems" category in the TOP Base.

Social news services(if the material is entertaining)
These are options like Pikabu and others. Usually it is really some kind of entertainment and social, political character. An article about what types of plastic windows are here will not work.

Press release websites(if your material has at least a little news character).
Well, at least some news. At least the release of a new product and its detailed description, with a certificate of the company - it can pass, not everywhere, but in some places. But here again, an article about the advantages of plastic windows - no. For more information, see the press release posting guide and .

Stories, reports
This primarily concerns the tourist destination. Sports are also suitable here, automotive products and services. For example, in the “Diaries” section on the travel portal, make a report with photos about how you went to Mongolia in cars of some brand and there, in between, a small story that is very similar to the truth about how the salon helped you in a difficult situation or one more thing, with a link.

Feedback Services
An article is needed of a certain nature - only a specific practical feedback on the use of the product. It is good to have pumped accounts on well-known reviews. But there are quite a few reviews.

What is important (!):

It is advisable to post completely unique articles, DO NOT take from your site.

These should be interesting, normal, human articles. Forget generators, or use them carefully and efficiently. Uninteresting in many places will be deleted, for example, admins on the forums. You will do a seemingly large-scale work and then you yourself will be disappointed first in article promotion and in general in free promotion, and then completely in SEO and website promotion.

It is desirable to make links within articles as natural as possible. Minimum commercial anchors - 20 percent maximum of the total volume. More different anchors — a link to the company name, a link to a URL in a variety of options, keywords + URLs, all sorts of “more details”, etc.

Mikhail Shakin shows a variety of link anchors well with practical examples in his article “My scheme for compiling link texts. v2"

Short announcements of articles, news(mostly with a link to a detailed source):

It is advisable to make unique announcements of those articles that you have on your site.

For social networks, it can be just some kind of announcement, up to advertising, no one will delete your accounts. Social networks are very different - general, thematic, regional. Closed, open. there are hundreds of them in the TOP Base of all topics and regions.

There are links with indexed search engines that are not indexed. With active links, without active. But in those social networks that are on your subject (and your region, if regionality is important to you), it is best to post as actively as possible in any case. In many social networks, effective posting involves adding friends, creating and promoting your group or page. The leadership was higher.

Forums
You can also just make announcements of your articles. I do this in the Blogosphere News sections, and just in the relevant sections of the SEO forums. If I were more active, I could post my articles about travel on tourist forums, articles about self-development on psychological, women's, men's and other forums. Etc. The link to the manual and case was above.

Also, I could make different headlines for announcements on the forums or generally different texts. Most of the time I do everything quickly according to one pattern. .

Here is the number of people who viewed my topic in 20 days on Maultock (520 people):

Here is my post, what it looks like from the inside:

Notice boards
Rarely used, but can give a good output if your thematic or regional market is important to you. On "general" boards they will give much less benefit.

Social news services
You can also only announce if it is entertainment, political, social news - I wrote about it above.

Bookmark Services
You can post any link with an announcement, but they almost do not give any benefit.

Q&A Services
You can post something like the announcement of your article in response to a question regarding what you are talking about in the article.

Feedback Services
On some review services, you can post a short review, with a link to a detailed one on your site or on a large review site (small link pyramid).

TOP Base as a tool to facilitate placement:

The set with Allsubmitter speeds up the work even more. But the program copes only with about 70% of sites and practically does not help with forums at all. But if you are planning a lot of all kinds of placement, especially company directories, press releases, bulletin boards, it will save you valuable time. Also Black Friday SEO.

Services are a great business because Most often, investments are not required, only skills and knowledge are enough. But what if there are very few customers (for example, you have just started and word of mouth has not yet worked to its fullest)? Where to find them, where to advertise your services, where to advertise services? The fastest way to advertise your services is to place an ad on the Internet.

Below I will look at several places where you can successfully advertise your services, tell you how to look for such places and what is the best free way to attract customers.

1. Freelancing or Where to offer services last.

If you intend to build a business, and not do part-time work, then I would avoid any freelance sites to find clients. Now, for almost any field, there are such platforms where performers can receive an order for work or offer their services. The disadvantage of such services is that there will be a lot of people willing to do the work and, accordingly, the payment is very low (or you need to have a very good portfolio and rating).

Such sites are more suitable for honing skills, training and part-time work in your free time (or during work).

Examples of such services:

https://master.yandex.ru/ - Yandex.Master, a completely new service. Job service in the field household services(cleaning, repair, courier assistance)

https://youdo.com/ - A popular order service. You can order or offer any services: cleaning, transportation, shopping, delivery, hairdresser, lawyer - in general, all possible services.

http://freelance.ru/ is probably the most famous service for working and searching for performers in the IT field: programmers, designers, etc.

http://work-zilla.com/ - any tasks and assignments for remote work. Anyone can earn here, because. the level of tasks is very different: from “collect information” to “make a website”. If, on the contrary, you are looking for a performer, then at the moment, when registering on Workzilla from my blog, you are credited with 100 bonus rubles to pay for tasks.

These services are popular, easy to sign up for and are the first place people go to earn extra money. The downside, which I have already voiced: low pay and a lot of competition. In addition, usually performers from such services are not expected to high quality work, so good orders it's hard to get there.

Well, probably the main disadvantage is that on such services you can only be presented as individual. If you have a company, then you have to be cunning. It should be understood that customers come to such services to save money on the contractor, and those who need a company and quality will look elsewhere.

2. Notice boards

This is probably the most obvious and understandable way. Just one piece of advice - don't waste your time on unpopular boards. To help you:

I wrote instructions. Use in conjunction with the list of boards, which can be requested by mail through the form below.

For my work, I selected the best bulletin boards. They can be received by mail along with a series brief instructions for working with boards.

3. Catalogs of companies and services

Catalogs of goods and services are the best option for placing ads about services. On each such site, you get your personal page with a description of the company and offers, and sometimes a mini-site.

The competition here is no less, but most companies treat directories and message boards carelessly: they try to register anywhere, quickly place their ads and forget about them. Although, if you choose directories wisely, look at attendance, study competitors' ads, beautifully design your page, then the chances of getting a client increase significantly (3 secrets of working with directories are just below).

Really popular directories of companies, sites of goods and services:

• and many others

Thematic directories for your business

Also, each business area has its own thematic directories, portals and ratings, where you definitely need to add (provided that they are popular on the Internet, i.e. visited by your potential customers)

And it's very easy to find them. Look for such directories as if you were a client, for example: "firms in [your area]", "company directory [your field]". And register, register everywhere. You need to be where your customers are, especially if it's free.

3 secrets of working with directories:

• Feature 1. Almost all advertisers, when adding a company to the directory, simply indicate the name of the company. While people don't look for companies by name (how do they know what you might be called), people are looking for specific services or products. For example "website promotion". Therefore, in the company name field, it is better to write "Internet agency "Iva" - website promotion." And you will be ranked above your competitors. And the rest of the services can already be listed in the description.
• Chip 2. Sometimes it is enough to fill in absolutely all the fields in the company card in order to be displayed above competitors. As I said, most firms indicate the bare minimum when registering, in a hurry and go to the next site. Pay attention to the cards of the companies that are displayed above, what do they have and others do not?
• Feature 3. It is better to be in 10 popular visited company directories with a completely and beautifully filled page (logo, photos, history, USP, successes, etc.) than in 100 unknowns with a template gray ad.

4. Your site

Your website is ideal, no matter what you do. It is possible to make a website now very cheaply (for example, for only 15-20 thousand we make turnkey optimized websites that quickly get into search results), and then constantly developing it, attract more and more customers.

The advantage of being in the service industry is your expertise, which can be shared on the site, thereby showing (and advertising) your experience. People, before contacting someone, try to solve the issue on their own and find preliminary information that will help them. All of them are potential visitors to your site and potential customers (you don’t have to go far for examples, you are now reading my blog).

There are no competitors on your site and there is a place to write any information. The site is your sales manager and consultant.

Free advertising on the Internet does not mean ineffective. Expenses for large-scale marketing projects can reach five or even six figures. But this applies only to serious business sharks. To promote a small own project You can also use free methods of advertising on the Internet. Perhaps in the future, with proper promotion, advertising costs will no longer frighten with their numbers.

Types of advertisements

Before choosing the right way to advertise, you need to decide what kind of ad it will be. standard classification advertisements contains only two items:

• Commercial advertising is the advertising of goods or services for the purpose of selling them and, as a result, making a profit. Today, commercial advertising is not something that pushes a person to buy. It literally dictates how one should live, what goods to buy, what to wear, etc. Unlike private ads, commercial advertising must be correctly designed, contain original "selling" text, and its distribution must cover the maximum possible areas of the Internet. -spaces.
• Private announcements are announcements of ordinary people who are not associated with commercial activities. Private listings can serve many purposes, such as the sale of private property or the search for a job. There are no special requirements for private advertisements. However, if a person has some professional marketing skills, then it will be much easier for him to achieve the goal that he pursues by placing his ad on the network.

Advertising methods

To place your ad on the Internet for free, you need to really imagine how it will look like. How the advertisement is presented to users depends on how many people will be interested in it. Advertisements are published in three types:

• graphic;
• text;
• mixed.

Each site independently establishes which can be placed in it. But, even taking into account the fact that the selling text will be written by a professional in their field, without visual perception of information, the ad may be ineffective.

In addition, there are also ways to advertise. There are three ways to post an ad.

• - a kind of "mystery". If to speak in simple words, a teaser is an image that should intrigue the Internet user. It can be accompanied by no less intriguing text with headings such as: "SHOCK!", "Did you know that ...", etc.
• Graphic advertising images on website pages are banners. can be seen not only on the net, but also on the streets of the city. However, web banners are much cheaper.
• The last way to advertise is contextual advertising. contextual advertising- These are graphic or text ads that are published either on the pages of search results or on the pages of some web resources. Since such ads are part of the pages, that is, they are placed in their context, the name of this method of advertising on the network has also appeared.

Where can I advertise for free?

In Google Maps, in the upper left menu, select the item "Add missing place" Fill out the opened form

You can launch your advertising campaign for free on several sites at once. Since start-up entrepreneurs usually do not have money for specialists in this area, all manipulations will have to be done on their own. And not everything is as simple as it seems. In order for advertising to bring at least some benefit, you need to take the entire advertising campaign under your control. You can distribute information about your project for free:

• on online boards free ads;
• using and Google Maps;
• in social networks;
• on thematic sites and forums.

Regardless of where the advertisement will be located, the main thing is activity. If it's about commercial advertising then the entrepreneur must pursue his customers. Of course, if only he wants to profit from his business. Passive advertising campaigns they will never bring customers, and they certainly will not come. Therefore, to save money, you have to work hard.

Free classifieds boards

Free classifieds boards have long moved from real life to the Internet space. Moreover, they are very popular among the population. If earlier, when searching for the right thing or service, users drove the corresponding query into the search engine, now many have a “favorite” site that can provide everything you need in one key phrase. The ranking of the most popular free classifieds boards includes:

• Avito.
• From hand to hand.
• Molotok.ru.
• Tiu.ru.

Free classifieds boards are suitable for both commercial and private use. An advertisement for an online store and an advertisement for the sale of private property will work equally well there. But since these advertising sites are not only frequently visited, but also free, they are simply inundated with spam. Therefore, in order to use the free classifieds boards with benefit, you should not impose and praise the offered goods or services very much.

All free classifieds boards have a list of paid services. No matter how profitable the offers may seem, they should be avoided. It is best to submit as many advertisements as possible on all thematic and general sites. Most of the time will take registration on various resources. Moreover, for greater efficiency, it is not necessary to create an advertising post according to a template on all sites. Several ad options allow you to choose the most effective one.

Free advertising in Yandex and Google

Contextual advertising in Yandex.Direct or Google Adwards is not a cheap pleasure. For newcomers to the business, this method of advertising is clearly not affordable. But there is one option that will help you attract customers with these popular search engines.

To give information about your company for free, you can use Yandex and Google maps. It's no secret that the placement of the address, links to the company on the map is free of charge.

Yes, this is a little different from the classic concept of "advertising". But if the user searches for something in the surrounding area, he will see the address of the company and a link to its official website, which may attract his attention.

Social networks

Social networks are a great platform not only for advertising, but also for business in general. If a novice businessman does not have money to create a website for an online store, then social networks may well replace it. You can advertise your business in social networks either using personal page, or using a special group, but for this you will have to create it.

group or communities in social network is a thematic space where users who are interested in the proposed topic gather. This means that the community should not be filled solely with ads or product shots. To attract customers in a group, you need to place interesting information, which is directly related to the offered goods or services. Posts with the headings “Promotion”, “Competition” or “Discount for repost” will also be relevant. This will contribute not only to advertising products, but also to promote the community.

The advertisement on the page must be pinned.

Advertising on the forums

I would like to note right away that the forum owners have a negative attitude towards advertisers. Therefore, aggressively advertising your services there will not work. An advertising post or comment will be deleted after a few minutes, and the profile will be completely blocked. To use this method of advertising, you need to act more cunningly.

• Find several popular thematic forums and register there under the guise of an ordinary user.
• Actively participate in discussions, create advertising themes, comment on the questions "formuchan".
• After some time, which is required to create a positive reputation, begin to unobtrusively advertise goods or services.

Most often, users begin to ask for advice on their own if they see the interlocutor's expertise in a matter of interest. However, even in private messages you should not be zealous. Advertise a product or service should be little by little and only to users who are familiar from communication. Then the site administration will not have any suspicions and, accordingly, the account will not be blocked.

Summing up, we can say that free online advertising is real. The list of available advertising platforms provides unlimited opportunities for aspiring entrepreneurs to grow their business. The main thing is not to spare time. And then all efforts will surely give a positive result.

Where can I find a bedridden patient for care? This question often worries relatives of a seriously ill person who do not have the opportunity to take care of him on their own, and simply caring people who live next to a lonely old man.

Help is required for many elderly people, and bedridden people - especially. Some have no relatives at all, some live far away. Old people feel lonely, useless to anyone and suffer. To alleviate the fate of a grandmother or grandfather, caring people take on the responsibility of caring for a bedridden person. But you need to help around the clock, not everyone has such an opportunity. Therefore, the best option is to assign a bedridden patient to a specialized institution or to hire a permanent live-in caregiver.

Where to apply?

What you need to determine a loved one for care is understandable. But where? How to decide where he will be better?

• to the hospice;
• to a nursing home;
• hospital/nursing department.

A hospice is a kind of hospital where hopeless patients are placed who will never recover, but who need help and support in order to live their lives at the most comfortable level for their condition: relieve pain, provide care.

Nursing homes are designed for single elderly people, regardless of their medical conditions. Usually, the phrase “nursing home” is treated negatively, but today there are comfortable private boarding houses where they provide proper care. Plus - in such boarding houses, elderly people communicate with each other, with volunteers who visit the elderly, and communication is very important for lonely people! Many even stop getting sick when they find new friends.

Nursing care is not a treatment, but helping sick people in certain cases, such as:

• the presence of chronic diseases in the stage of compensation (for example, after a stroke) or neurological diseases without mental disorders;
• irreversible joint diseases, fractures that do not require surgical care;
• old age, in which it is impossible to do without constant help.

It is possible to place a person in the nursing care departments for the duration of the paperwork for transfer to a nursing home or to a psycho-neurological boarding school. The disadvantage of such departments is that there are many patients and few staff. It is uncomfortable for patients to lie there, because this is, first of all, a hospital, where only the most necessary manipulations and procedures are carried out, and there is no question of any psychological support.

Permanent help at home

A great alternative to the above options would be to leave him at home and hire a full-time live-in caregiver. No wonder they say that houses and walls help. Not all people need communication, many do not want to part with their housing and feel even in the best boarding house - abandoned and homeless. And a professional nurse will be able not only to provide full-fledged care, but also to provide individual psychological assistance and support.
