- “Unpaid public speaking is a fantastic way to drum up new business. Associations and Chambers of Commerce are always looking for free speakers educate and entertain at meetings. You’ll make your money from the “back of the room” after the event selling products/services, getting referrals and booking more gigs.”

“As the person responsible for marketing our new website, I am online all of the time, blogging on all different websites. I share content from our site with others that currently have more traffic than ours, create links, and use Social Media (Twitter and Facebook) to post relevant information.”
—Julie ArnheimCo-Founder, RubbingNickels
“I launched a home-based publishing business in 1997 and by 1999 I was running it full-time and was able to hire my husband away from his “real job.” One of our marketing tips is to publish a free, opt-in weekly ezine or newsletter that provides high-quality content to your readers (potential customers) that they can’t find anywhere else. This reminds them that you and your products are there for them.”
