Having success marketing your business online can be a lot easier than you might think. Here are five of my favorite home business marketing tools that will help you grow your business faster. With the number of people who are looking to work from home online these days the internet is the best place to market your home based business hands down. There are a lot more than 5 tools, but these are some of the easiest and more effective.
Free Home Business Marketing Tool #1 - Home Business Blogs
Every single home based business owner on the planet needs to have a blog of their own. However, what I'm going to talk about in this article is using other people's blogs to your advantage. There are about a million and one home based business blogs online.
Go to several home business blogs every day, read the most recent post, and write a comment about it. Make sure your comment is actually about their blog and not just an ad for your business. Leave your blog or website in the comment as well because that's how you'll end up getting more traffic.
Commenting on other home business blogs is simple, easy and you will not believe the traffic you can generate using this simple concept.
Free Home Business Marketing Tool #2 - Home Business Forums
Home based business forums are everywhere. Some of them have a lot of traffic and some of them don't, but a great way to get the word out about your website, articles, videos and blogs is to post on at least one forum regularly. Again, don't be a spammer. Contribute something in every post you make and it's another simple and easy way to get more highly targeted traffic to your website.
Free Home Business Marketing Tool #3 - Free Classified Ad Sites
While a classified ad in the local paper can get really expensive there are some online classified ad sites that are free to use and extremely popular. The biggest free classified ad site is Craigslist but it's not the only game in town. It doesn't take long to post an ad on a website like Craigslist and when you use these sites consistently they can be really effective.
Free Home Business Marketing Tool #4 - Social Bookmarking Sites
Social bookmarking sites like Digg and many others are really beneficial for getting more attention to articles, blogs, videos, and websites that you've already posted. It's just a good way to get more bang for your buck. Or in this case, since it's free, more bang for your time.
You've already done the work to write your articles or post to your blog so doesn't it make sense to get more traffic to the marketing tools you're already using?
Free Home Business Marketing Tool #5 - Social Networking Sites
Want to be successful in a home based business? You have to talk to a lot of people right? Sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace already have MILLIONS of people. These sites are a great way to talk to a lot of people in a short period of time. Marketing your business on social networking sites isn't a one time thing, to be effective you'll need to use them almost every day.
If you want to work from home online and have more success in your home based business use all five of these free home business marketing tools. They've worked for me and countless others and I know they'll work for you.
