promote for money

After reading all the ideas on this site, chances are you have already decided on a couple of ideas to further your income. It is important to ensure that you promote your venture as economically as possible, since marketing and advertising eat heavily into your pocket. Taking out a full page newspaper advert may look great, but in the short-term you are not going to get your money back and are going to be much worse off.

Choose free ideas, such as cards in shop windows andsupermarket boards. Make your own leaflets on your PC and drop them through peoples letterboxes, but target areas in your town where you believe your customers will come from. Don't for example offer a gardening service to someone who lives in a block of flats. You can print business cards for next to nothing in automatic machines which you usually find in supermarkets, or go to Vistaprint online who will make FREE cards for you (as long as you dont mind them saying Vistaprint on the back!)
