If you’ve recently started a small home business or an online business, you may not have that much income. In fact, you may have no income and little start up money, meaning you can’t hire a professional marketing expert to help advertise your business. If you don’t market yourself, however, you’re doomed to end up as another small business failure. But what if you don’t know anything about marketing? Well, you can still do some limited advertising to get your name out there. Here are some ways of marketing without being a marketing expert:

• Make business cards. They don’t have to be fancy, but it is helpful to be able to hand someone your card with all of your contact information.
• Use social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. These sites are free and easy to use. Just don’t spam people too much!
• Add a link to your website to your email signature. This way, you advertise your site with every email you send.
