Whether you create a very detailed website or simply run a blog about your product or service, who is going to take the time to check it out if you have not invested the time it takes to really promote it?

Once you figure out your target audience, or customer base, use these three effective and inexpensive tricks to successful Internet marketing of your home based business on a budget: article submissions, newsgroups or forums, and online classifieds. Each of these is either inexpensive or completely free. When using article submissions and newsgroups or forums remember not to be pushy in promoting your article. Briefly mention your important business in your articles (which do not have to be based on your business itself), and approach members of newsgroups and forums in a friendly manner. Also, be sure to read the rules and regulations of each newsgroup and forum to make sure you are allowed to promote yourself. When using online classifieds, make sure to use a variety of headings that are both professional and intriguing and repost frequently.
