7 Ways to Generate New Leads for Your Side Business
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.

The Future of Cloud Computing
A solid majority of technology experts and stakeholders participating in the fourth Future of the Internet survey expect that by 2020 most people will access software applications online and share and access information through the use of remote server networks, rather than depending primarily on tools and information housed on their individual, personal computers. They say that cloud computing will become more dominant than the desktop in the next decade. In other words, most users will perform most computing and communicating activities through connections to servers operated by outside firms.
Among the most popular cloud services now are social networking sites (the 500 million people using Facebook are being social in the cloud), webmail services like Hotmail and Yahoo mail, microblogging and blogging services such as Twitter and WordPress, video-sharing sites like YouTube, picture-sharing sites such as Flickr, document and applications sites like Google Docs, social-bookmarking sites like Delicious, business sites like eBay, and ranking, rating and commenting sites such as Yelp and TripAdvisor.
This does not mean, however, that most of these experts think the desktop computer will disappear soon. The majority sees a hybrid life in the next decade, as some computing functions move towards the cloud and others remain based on personal computers.

Reblog this at your own legal risk
Bloggers rip, reuse and rehash text and media from the entrails of the Internet all the time, but the legality of doing so remain contentious.
Legal questions aside, the major blogging platforms have come to facilitate the reproduction of content from other websites.
Last week, WordPress, the top host of blogs, added a “reblog” feature. Clicking that button composes a new post housed on your blog suffixed with the headline, description, thumbnail and link to the source material — a process nearly identical to adding a link to your Facebook profile.
“Borrowing” content has been a common practice among bloggers practically from the beginning. You can take whatever you want as long as you give credit, right?
Not necessarily.
I ‘slurp’ content all the time as you can see here. Follow the ‘via’ link feature for a better understanding of the ‘dos and don’ts’…
