Home Business Marketing

Marketing is the engine of home business success. If I could only give you one tip, one suggestion about how to build a successful home based business it would be this:

Think of marketing as a process, an on-going cycle of business activity which can be duplicated and used over and over again. 

One of your first projects is to design and build your marketing strategy and write a marketing plan that will serve as a roadmap keeping you and your business on track--on time and on target. Choose your marketing tactics carefully and choose a minimum of 5-6 tactics (both online and offline).

Offline marketing strategies and tactics include:

  • Fliers
  • Newspaper ads
  • Business cards
  • Radio ads
  • Public speaking
  • Free workshops or seminars 

Online marketing strategies and tactics include:

  • Blogging
  • Social marketing
  • Google AdWords
  • Pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns
