Making money at home in an online business can be profitable and you cans also have a lot of fun doing it, if you get off to the right start. One of the first considerations is how you are going to market the business. Here you'll be introduced to some free methods and also some ideas for very low cost marketing.
A great no cost method to start with is free online classified ads. You can Google online classified ads and find over two dozen sites. You'll want to follow each site's guidelines in order to stay in good standing, no reason to get booted off a free site.
Personal contact marketing costs very little and can be very rewarding. As you go through your day simply listen to what others are saying. When you hear someone complaining about their hours at work or the long commute give them a business card and tell them that you might have something for them. Wait for them to contact you, don't ever chase people. If you see them at a later time you might want to follow up, but don't chase them.
Business cards can also be placed on car doors. Use one with a simple message like "home business opportunity could reap BIG rewards for YOU! call 1 800 XXX XXXX". Large office buildings and busy shopping malls are great places to distribute a large number of cards in a short amount of time. Place the cards on the driver's side door window, above the door handle.
Road side signs will also get attention. These are the signs that you see during election time. If you Google lawn signs you'll find them for as little as $1.00 each if you purchase 100. These can be very effective if placed at busy intersections. Use a simple, easy to read message like "Make Money Working at Home, 1 987 654 3210."
Newspapers offer a low cost method of advertising when you consider the number of people you will reach. Choose a demographic which you feel comfortable with. You'll want to keep the circulation below 200,000 for the best value price-wise.
Magazines can also be highly effective although the cost might be out of reach when you're just starting up. Magazines also have a time lag of 30 to 45 days between the time you place the order and publication. The great thing about magazines is their shelf life, you might get a call months after your ad runs.
I wish you the best in your marketing, and hope these tips are helpful to you. Look for more ideas in future articles. Again, all the best and much success!
