Small Home Business Marketing Options

Learning about all the options in small home business marketing is probably the best free home business advice that I can give you.

Successful home businesses and smart home business owners are the ones who market effectively. You as an entrepreneur need to know your niche and where potential visitors to your site are likely to hang out. TARGETING your small home business marketing efforts will help you efficiently spend your marketing dollars.

For example, if your niche is fishing, you obviously don't want to advertise in a publication which focuses on bridal gowns. A more targeted place to advertise would be a sporting goods publication, ...or a better option yet would be a publication strictly about fishing.

Being smart and efficient with your marketing budget, especially when first starting a home business, is extremely important. You don't want to run out of money on advertising before your new business starts putting money INTO your pocket.



I offered some good FREE internet advertising options on another page of this website (See the FREE Internet Ad Resources Section by Clicking Here).


Free marketing resources are important, and help you to stay within budget, but it's difficult to keep a home based business opportunity lucrative without using some paid advertising too. Smart home business owners incorporate both into their small home business marketing portfolio.

Here are some PAID Internet Advertising /
Small Business Marketing Options

(in no particular order)...

- Website Advertising... As another one of your internet advertising options, the process here is to simply look for popular websites within your niche and purchase advertising from them. Some websites may already have an ad buying system in place, but others you may have to contact the webmaster and ask if you can purchase an ad. I can just about guarantee that most webmasters will be more than HAPPY to sell you some ad space!


- Online Newspaper and Magazine Classifieds... Most of the larger city and national newspapers and magazines these days have online editions in addition to their newsstand copies, where you can purchase classified advertising. A couple of examples of these are USA Today and Entrepreneur Magazine. Many of these publications get thousands or even millions of readers, but you have to decide if your small home business marketing portfolio can afford to dole out a pretty good chunk of change for an ad in these publications. It could be well worth the price, but you have to decide if your product or service is likely to sell well enough to be worth the ad buy.

- Directory Submissions... This can be a fairly valuable small home business marketing option for a home based business opportunity website. There are a couple of reasons why. One is that a good directory will send more visitors to your website simply by clicking your link within that directory. But possibly even more important than that is that a good directory will give you an inbound link to your website, which tends to give you better natural rankings within the search engines. This in turn increases your free "organic" traffic to your website because the search engines like quality inbound links.

The "Big 2" of directories that everyone with a website would like to get into are the Yahoo Directory and DMOZ. The problem is, both are quite particular about who gets registered. If you have a bunch of money making links in your website, especially affiliate links, your chances of approval are highly diminished. Plus, the Yahoo Directory costs $299/year, and you are NOT guaranteed to get in, even after you pay. There are, however, a multitude of other (lesser stature) directories that you can apply to. Just do a search for website directory submissions, and you'll see plenty of options.
