How to brand your website?

Press releases
Press releases are the traditional ways of promoting your brands. Every time a new edition of press releases is out, it can reach your target audience. The authority of the information provided by Press Releases is considered to be higher than individual promotions.
Infographics

Don’t spam the comments
Once the venture begins, people tend to announce it by spamming on social media platforms. So typing the slangs such as, ‘Hey, check out my new website!’, for over a hundred times won’t help.

Therefore, it is not advisable to post spam comments on other’s websites or social media platforms!
