Free Marketing Tips to Help Make Money Online
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 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.
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.
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 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.
These are some ideas to get you started in your home based business opportunity. There are many more which I will be covering in future articles. I hope these are helpful, and you have much success in your endeavor, whatever you choose.
