Marketing Your Home Business

By Mike Schwartz

Once you have started your home business it's time to start marketing it to the public. There are many ways to market online as well as offline. One of the easiest ways to maket online is to write articles.

once your article has been accepted it goes live on the web and you start getting valuable back links to your website. Your popularity will grow the articles you write. And you will be more popular the more links you get.

Once you start getting more links the better your chance will be that somebody will see them and visite your site. If you are a new business owner it's a good stratagy that you can do for free. It will take a little time to see the results but will pay off in the long run.

Pay per click ads are very popular also. You just write an ad and then pay so much per visiter to your site. People will be able to go to your site right away so this is a big advantage.

You just research the keywords that you want to bid for and then you pay so much for each click. This can very tricky and takes a lot of knowledge and training to be profitable. You can loose a lot of money in a short period of time if you don't 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 mght get about 50 in your group and pay 500 bucks or so to advertise your business in the best magazines in the nation. The subcribers are all people that want to start a business. So these are all very targeted leads.

This is a proven off line tactic that will bring many people to you door. Being involved in a Co-Op that goes in the top business magazines will give you a huge amount of credibility. It shows the world that even though you are new you are committed to your business 100%!
