If you are just starting out, or find that you are short of money, you may need to find ways to market your business on a very small budget.
Use the Good Old Business Card
You can find inexpensive business cards printed online. If you are going to any event, be sure to leave your business card. If you have a reason to give anyone your phone number give them your business card. You never know when someone will need the services you provide, or when your friends and family will meet someone who needs your services.
Create a Website with a Blog
It is very important to look at your budget, but do not be cheap. Using WordPress to host them yourself makes having a website with a blog look very simple. If you lack the expertise and can't afford to pay someone, consider using a website builder that offers a blog service. The next step is to write informative, rich posts with encouraging keywords on social media.
Use Social Media to Promote Your Business
Set up social media accounts for your business. However, you do not need to be on all social networks. Instead use the information you have about your audience to choose which social networks you should be on. Create beautiful profiles that represent your product in a consistent way.
Find a Partner Joint Venture Project
The JV partnership is not a real business partnership. It is a combination of power or collaboration between competing entrepreneurs who share the audience but do not compete directly. Finding a project to work on like this can help both of you and your audience.
Write an eBook
You can easily publish it to Kindle, or highlight it as a PDF text from your website. However, a book can draw you in front of your audience like a true expert and become a calling card.
Enter the Speaking Circuit
Using your book as a base, state that you are ready to give presentations in place and the cost of a ticket, room and board, go to other speaking events. In some cases, you may even be paid to speak once you have been established and are in great need. So, not only can talking be a great marketing opportunity, but it can also be a new way of earning money.
Encourage Referrals
A great way to expand your customer base is to convince your customers to pass it on to others. Most satisfied customers will tell others about you, but in some cases they may not be because they want to keep you. This is especially true for service-based businesses. So, a good way to overcome this problem is to give your customers a reason to tell others about you as a discount coupon, or additional freebies for each paid customer they send in your own way.
When selling products, consider starting a affiliate program as a way to get more people to tell others about your products and make more sales without costing you more than a percentage of sales.
