There are things that you can do with limited funds to make sure that you are getting the customers that you need.

Are you having a business from home that caters to just your area, like a hair salon or a photography businesses? If you do, then your advertising should be in print. You don’t need the whole world to see these ads. If you are localized, you should not bother spending your money on internet advertising. Just do print advertising with your website on it. This is the best way to advertise, and you can always do this cheaply by finding a cheap place to have posters and business cards made up. There are many ways to get lots of business, cheaply.
However if you are running a home business that is on the internet, this means that you want the whole world to have access to it. In this case, don’t bother putting up flyers in your home town but work on internet advertising. You can find many free blogs that will let you post a link to your site. And there are many places that you can get your name out there. The fact remains that you just have to do it. You have to spend several days surfing the web and getting your name out there in whatever way that you can.
So, when it comes down to it, advertising is an absolute must. You have to be able to draw people in and you need customers in order to have your website work. You have to have traffic to whatever site you have for your home business and you have to be sure that you are getting business. This is important to do no matter what type of home business you have.
Not a lot of people that start up home businesses are wealthy to start with, and you might find that you don’t really have a budget for advertising. When this happens, it is important to remember that you have to be able to budget not only your time, but a little bit of money, towards advertising.
