One of the best site promotion tools is to promote your site only when you have it fully online. This advice may seem like a no brainer, however you can find plenty of sites that list one or more pages as Coming Soon or Under Construction.
It is estimated that websites have about three seconds to convince web users to stick around. If a consumer hits a page (no matter how cute you create it) that advises them to come back later the effect will be something akin to shock therapy. The consumer will not return to see what good things you may have to offer. They will simply find a place that does not lead them to a dead end.
The impression consumers are left with when you use Coming Soon or Under Construction is that you dont have your act together and are likely not a trustworthy online business.
Promoting your website becomes much easier when you have all your ducks in a row. Consumers want immediate and full access to your offerings. They may even sign up for free memberships if it allows them to either gain access to knowledge-based articles or provides some sort of freebie.
