WORK AT HOME RESOURCES - ADVERTISING RESOURCES
Sources for Free ONLINE Advertising:
- Yahoo, MSN, Google Groups, Message Boards, Online Communities. Just be sure you read the rules and see if they have
certain days they allow ads, only allow 1 ad a day, if they allow ads at all.
- Shopping Groups on Yahoo Groups- there are many groups where people join and have to make a monthly purchase. They may
allow you to shop with anyone or you may to choose 1-4 people to shop with each month. Be sure you read all the rules and that
you will be able to make your monthly required purchase as well. I have done very well with the shopping groups that I am in as
far as getting sales.
Join groups that reach your target market- wahm's, sahm's, moms, women... Also you can join other groups in areas that interest
you or maybe in hobbies that you have that do not allow ads but will allow you to have a link in your signature line.
- Link Exchanges - Exchange Links with other sites relevant to your target market
Free Online Classifieds Sites & Free Networking Sites-
www.craigslist.com - find your local Craig's List. Be careful in your wording and your placement as they do not allow promoting of
MLM's in the jobs section. Also do not post the same ad in more than 1 category and city. Craigslist considers this spam

LOW COST ONLINE Advertising
-WAHM, Women's & Home Business Websites & Blogs
There are many wahm, sahm and resource sites that offer button/banner ads or text ads. Be sure you find out how much traffic
the sites have and that you are getting your money's worth before you buy advertising from these sites.
-Sponsoring Contests
Many of these sites are looking for people to sponsor contests and will offer free ad space for your sponsoring. This usually
requires you offering a product or gift certificate. Again, find out how much traffic the site gets.
-Online Vendor Parties
Online Vendor Parties are a fun and low cost way to promote your business and network online. They are held in a chat room. You
will rent out a half hour or hour time during the event to present your business. Many home business owners have asked me if I
feel that online vendor parties are worth the time, money and effort. They also want to know how they can have a successful online
party. You may find that my definition of a successful vendor party differs from what first comes to your mind.
