Coming home from a day job and starting work on a side business is a lot more common today than it was in the past. Salaries and commission structures unfortunately have not increased proportionately to the cost of living in various areas of the country and many people have resorted to starting a side business to earn extra income for themselves and their families. You may be one of them.
About a year ago, a buddy and I started doing freelance Internet marketing work for a few small businesses run by friends and family members. It didn’t take long for the venture to turn into a legitimate side business with over a dozen clients and steady alternative income. The best part about it was that we didn’t put any money into our own marketing plan. We were able to get the word out and promote our business by using free online tools for small businesses and proving to potential clients what we were capable of doing.
If you want to start earning good side income, it doesn’t make sense to invest money in traditional marketing efforts right away. Be creative and make yourself as accessible as possible. To help you, here are 7 cheap or free ways you can use to easily market your side business and generate new leads.
