Use both. You must already be doing online marketing of your business. Here are some good examples of what you can do offline:

1. Print out business cards and when you go someplace, ask if you can leave your business card.

2 Print out flyer’s and and hand them out to people leaving not entering
the premises of a flea market and/or stick some flyer’s under the windshield wipers.

3. The economy is on your side, and so when you are in a group bring up the high price of something and get people to talk about what they are doing to survive and then hand out a flyer or business card or both.

4. Go where people congregate and pick up on the conversations and join in, with the purpose of helping someone earn money to pay their bills.

5. Print out small colorful flyer’s that has about 10 tags hanging down with your website on -They will tear off one if they are interested-leaving 9 more. Post these on any bulletin in any supermarket and go back and check to see how many website tags are left-and replace.

6. If you are promoting an affiliate program make sure you purchase a Domain name – $.99 – 1.99 at Go Daddy and then redirect it to your affiliate site.

7. Go to the mall and purchase a Colorful t-shirt with your Domain name printed on the back. Wear this t-shirt when you are in the mall.
Have printed something like this, “Earn Big Money Daily-Get Paid Daily.
And then your domain name underneath. People will approach you, then hand them a business card.

Getting traffic is a combination of a lot of things. The key to success is to create great content that visitors want to use, search engines will love and other websites will naturally link to. Of course, it’s easier said than done.

You can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products. You can use Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:

1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement – if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important — and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more – that’s additional traffic that you get for FREE!

Recommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Big Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml
CGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Hostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com’s “Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day.” http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.

Here is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481

6. Improve your conversion. Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article ” How To Sell More on the Web: 30 Tips To Increase Conversion Rates For An Ecommerce Site ” http://www.powerhomebiz.com/092006/ecommerce.htm for tips on how to improve your conversion rates.

Coupons, premiums, and TV

Coupons are available on the web or in print advertising. Example- $3 off a large supreme pizza.

Premiums like a toy for the kids in their meal.

TV to remind people they still exist and what is new on the menu.
