You can do any of this but more importantly, be consistent. Don't do it today and skip tomorrow, do it everyday, that is the key. Good Luck!

Well since you haven't specified what business you're in...

If you're trying to market your business on the internet. It would start with setting up a website. Join communities and forums (maybe get a blog) and promote your business that way.

But as fong47 said, be consitent.

Unfortunately, the free ways are not always the great ways, and vice versa. If the free ways were all great, we would all be rich and none of us would be on this forum :-)

It takes money to make money. The problem with the free ways is that you spend a lot of time reposting ads that scroll off the free classified sited in only a few hours, or you are trying to compete in SEO with those who have been doing their business for years and years. Or, you think that once you post your business in your Facebook status that all your friends will read it and refer you to their friends and so on. Not so much. Marketing your business takes a real effort.

I would try to find a copy of Guerella Marketing or "Marketing for Dummies" or something like that. You need some real in-depth advice on marketing on a limited budget.

Whatever way you decide to do make sure you are consistent. Be out there every day telling everyone about what you do. You can leave cards, post info online, etc. Just make sure you are doing something to get you closer to your goals.

That is really THE BEST advice! I have a hard time following it myself, but I had a reminder "wakeup" call over on my favorite marketing forum the last couple of days. :-)
