Making money online in a home based business can be both a lot of fun and very profitable. Before you get started you'll want to have some ideas of how you are going to market your new business. These are some basic ideas of how to market using some no cost and low cost methods.
There are several free places where you can advertise online. Simply Google "free classified online ads" and you'll find at least two dozen sites. This is a great place to start, just abide by each site's rules.
Personal contact marketing is another good method to use. I don't mean to contact all of your family and friends, just listen to people as you goo through your day. When you hear someone complaining about their job or hours or commute, tell them that you might be able to help them out. Give them your card and tell them to give you a call. No sales pitch, just tell them to call you. If they show interest and call you then tell them what you're doing. Don't chase them, let them come to you.
You can also place business cards on car doors. Place them on the driver's side door above the door handle. Use a simple message which will catch someone's eye in a hurry, for example, "Work from Home, Have Free Time, call 1 (800) 234 5678". You'll want to go to shopping malls or very large office complexes and distribute a large number at one time.
"Bandit" signs are also very inexpensive and can be an effective method to use. These are plastic corrugated signs which are on metal "H" stands. Again a simple message like "CEO Income from home visit www.yourwebsite.com" Place these signs at busy intersections where there is likely to be some traffic backup so that passersby will have time to notice them.
Newspapers are relatively low cost if you consider the number of people you reach per dollar invested. One drawback is you may not be targeting your market. Choose newspapers with a mid sized circulation, below 200,000, and select a good income area.
Magazines can be very good if you target your market effectively. Keep in mind that magazines will have a lag time between when you place the order and when the next issue is printed, this can be anywhere from 35 to 45 days. An advantage of magazines is that they stay around forever, you might get a call six months or a year from now from an ad placed today.
I hope these free marketing tips will be helpful to you. I will be covering more ideas in future articles. I wish you much success and happiness.
