Online marketing is not cut-price. You can spend thousands of bucks along Pay Per Click (Google Adwords) & thousands of site-targetted bucks (AdBrite), & you can pass thousands just purchasing text links from single websites. Trust me, I've spent thousands on advertising.
Even So, my favorite form of marketing is the free kind. Anthing free is a like, especially if it help my sites make earn more money without icreasing on my advertising costs.
Here are 3 easy & fast ways to market your at no additional cost.

Free business Cards are a staple in my advertising arsenal. You can passed them everywhere and give them to anyone. The best part is, they are free! Use them where you want, when you want, & as often as possible. That is the motto I live by whenever I get a shipment of free business Cards in the mail.
2. Link exchange
Link exchanges are a great way of spreading Page Rank, but also of sharing visitors. Most people who like a web site will bookmark it. After they have read everything they want, they will read the web site that you link to. You get the visitors, & share the visitor through a link exchanges.
3. Business card networking
After you have received your free business Cards, use them to network with other people. Everytime you encounter someone, hand them one of your free business Cards. After on it, ask for one of their business cards in exchange. If they don't have 1, make sure you mention what you do, and the website address that is also listed on your free business card. Free business cards make a best networking tool if you will put them to use. Dont forget, they are free, and should not be used sparingly. Use them in any situation you can think of. People will take them home and visit your website when they pull your business cards out of their pocket.

Reasons for refunding products
So now that you've finally decided to purchase that product and cannot wait to test it out , you have to find out that it does anything else but what you've expected. Don't worry, you still have a chance to get your money back with the following tips for getting an quick product refund.
1. False advertising
"Get 10.000 hits to your website in 24 hours". This such attractive promises might sure make you wanna flip out your credit card immediately. But when you apply the methods or use the software and have to find out that those 10.000 hits might really result in 10, then this is a legitimate reason for requesting a refund. Unfortunately it's not always that easy. Many vendors get around such false advertising by stating in the fine print that these results cannot be guaranteed.
2. Product out-of-date
Believe it or not, but I've seen products that were still advertised and happily took the money out of the customers' pockets but were totally out-of-date or didn't work anymore. I once bought a product that could not be downloaded any longer but still had the sales page up and running, it even exposed the current date indicating the end of a special promotion. Every try to contact the creator of the software failed and after I read in a forum that I wasn't the only one not being able to download the software,I contacted the credit card processing company and got my money back.
3. Usability
Not every software is very user friendly as Windows (you got the joke, right?!), which can be frustrating if you want nothing more than use it immediately. For most complicated software products there exist written tutorials that exactly describe how to use them and sometimes even video tutorials that make the product handling even easier.
If you've reached the product creator and still were non able to take a refund despite some legitimate and great reasons, not all hope is gone. Most marketplaces offer a refund guarantee for products that were sold through them (e. g. Clickbank offers its customers a general refund policy of 8 weeks after the product purchase, for a vendor like PayDotCom you have to contact the credit card processor like Paypal which has a refund policy of 2 months).
It is always advised to clearly state the reason for your product refund and to keep a friendly communication style. Even if the product is not worth a single penny it doesn't make things easier when you insult the creator. Try to show that you've really trying to use the product in an good way, maybe tie some screenshots, include suggestions what could be better, etc. The product creator might loose you as a client but still can benefit from your experience and will most of the time happily give you the refund.
Whatever you do, please be honest. It's just not good to purchase a product which you badly want and then asking a refund to take your money back but still continue to use the product. Most market places (Clickbank, PayDotCom) tolerate two or even more gives back, but after that you might not be able to purchase anything again through the specific company.
