10 Home Business Marketing Ideas
1.A Brand Website. If you do not already have one, register a domain, sign up for webhosting, and design your site to make it your own. This will be your home base on the internet, the place you should try to channel all your web traffic.
2.Article Marketing. Write high quality, valuable articles about your topic and submit them to article directories online. Of all the good home marketing ideas, article marketing is possibly the best one. If your articles meet the standards of a given directory, they will be published and other webmasters will grab your articles and repost them on their own sites. Your articles can also be picked up by online journals and even magazines. Every article you write includes a backlink to your site which will remain intact each time one of your articles is reposted.
3.Blogging. Set up a blog that will act as your secondary site and the advertiser of your main site. On your blog there will be links to your main site. Make regular blog posts and establish yourself as an expert in your field. Also, post thoughtful comments on either blogs and make sure to include a link to your site in the resource box.
4.Press Releases. Once your online business has gained a bit of momentum, submit a press release to the internet. This serves as an announcement for something important happening online, such as the launch of a new website or product. Make sure you include all the details you need when you decide to submit your press release to make it cost effective.
5.Search Engine Optimization. You may have heard the saying that Google is the internet. If you want to be successful online, you need to be friends with Google. This means ensuring that you have a high enough search position within the search results. Google has a unique algorithm which determines the importance of your site based on how many backlinks there are to your site across the web, as well as by the quality and value of your content and particular service. Aggressive, targeted article marketing is a terrific SEO method to increase your search position.
6.Facebook. Sign up for a Facebook account that you will use uniquely for your business. Make a Facebook page for your home business that links to your site and post valuable content that is helpful to others. Be a regular contributor, an active member who is more relational than promotional. A customer interested in your product who sees that your Facebook page has many likes will know they can trust you as a knowledgeable source for your niche.
7.Twitter. Sign up for Twitter, follow others, get followers, tweet often and be helpful. If you do not think you will have time for this there are many free applications available online which can automate your Twitter use. You can schedule your tweets in advance and the application will automatically tweet them at a later date. Many programs can also auto-follow people for you too.
8.Youtube. Make a Youtube channel for your business. Get subscribers and friends, start to build up a network, and then send out videos and commercials for your business that link the watchers to your main site.
9.LinkedIn. Create a LinkedIn business profile and network with other related businesses. This is a great way to build credibility online and get your name out there, and also provides another platform for you to post your link.
10.Social Bookmarking. Just as you can bookmark your favorite websites on your own internet browser, you can also set up an online bookmarking account and bookmark your favorite sites to allow others to see them. Social bookmarking sites are very popular and are highly visited by people looking to find trending sites. Get your own site bookmarked and watch your traffic add up.
