You can put a URL of your web site so that interested people will visit you. Not only that you can solve the problems of other users of forum with your URL as a signature.

Apart from marketing, you also need to make sure you provide high quality of service. It would be a waste it you spend so much on marketing to acquire customers but unable to retain them due to poor quality of service.

Their service requires high uptime and quick response time however your service is slow with poor uptime hence your customers might lose their prospective sales and will move away to other web hosting provider. Therefore it is always important to make sure you always look after your customers before and after sales.

These are the ways which can be followed without wasting any money and customers will follow you automatically. Although all these ways take time to bring customers to you but there is no reason for not following them. You can have other ways that include some cost for promotion but you can have these ways are totally free to follow them. Think twice before neglecting them
