Marketing Your Home Business

By Mike Schwartz

Now that you have started your home business you need to figure out how to market it. There are many ways for you to gain popularty. One of the quickest ways to do this is to write articles.

After your article goes live you will get more links to you site. Your popularity will grow faster the more articles you write. Then you will become more popular once you start getting more links.

Also the more links you have to your site the better chance you will have that someone will see them and go to your site. This is a great strategy for new home business owners because you can do this for free. This will take a little time to see the results but will be very profitable in the long run.

You can also advertise by using pay per click ads. You simply write an ad and then you pay so much per person that clicks on you ad and visits your site. This has a big advatage because people will see your ad right away.

You would bid on the key words you want and then pay so much for each one. This take training and knowlege and can be very tricky. You can loose your shirt in a hurry if you do not know what you are doing.

Another great way to get massive amounts of exposure is advertising Co-Ops. This is when you get a certain amount of people together and pay a large fee to advertise in a large area. For example, home business magazines.

You might get a group of 50 people together and pay 500 dollars each to advertise in a large group of the top home business magazines. The people that subscribe to these magazines want to start a home based business. The beauty is they are already qualified as a targeted lead!

This off line tactic has been proven to bring many people to your business. Being involved in a Co-Op will give you a great amount of credibilty. People will see that you are 100% committed to your business! - 15432
