Make a unique and exciting web page. If you are working online, this will be the heart and soul of your business. Make it as interesting as possible. You want potential customers to want to stay and read all the information you have to offer and buy your products.

Write original articles and submit them to article directories. Use your website in your resource box and people will visit your website if the article intrigues them enough.

Word-of-mouth and networking are two of the cheapest and easiest ways to get your business' name out there. A great way to get started is by printing up business cards or flyers on your home computer. There are templates available through several word processing and publishing software programs that you may already have on your PC. Also, sheets of perforated business cards are available at almost every business supply or department store these days. If you choose to create a flyer, design it on a half-sheet of paper - two to a page - and save even more money. And these advertising methods don't have to be fancy either. Just be sure to include your name, web address, a short tag line describing your business and any other contact information you want to include. Pass them around to the merchants in your area and anyone else you come in contact with. A little friendly conversation goes a long way and you've just advertised your website!

Another great way is using the internet to advertise and market your business is by using email. Email marketing works great when done correctly. One of the first things you need to do is find a reputable email list broker. A broker will have various lists that you can rent and will usually have software that you can use to distribute your email messages. Do not under any circumstances send out SPAM. SPAM is unsolicited junk email. Your best bet is to get with a good list broker and rent an opt-in list. This list will contain names and email addresses of individuals that have chosen to receive offers similar to yours. This is the best way to send out emails and it will prevent you from being labeled a spammer. Trust me, you don't want that.
