Build your own website:

You might be thinking that having a website will cost you too much, but you now have to think twice. There are many sites that provide free hosting. Though getting one is not as fast buying a domain name, this will be a very good start. You can feature in your websites all your products and services that you offer. This will draw the attention of new customers, especially if you are going to write good descriptions about them.

Start blogging:

Starting a blog is as easy as signing up in any social networking sites. As soon as you have already opened an account, write articles about general problems that most people encounter and offer a variety of solutions to them. Once blog become well known to people, your readership will grow. This is now the time to create links to your products and services. They can easily build interest in them because of the reputation that you have established.

Using the famous Facebook:

Almost everybody in the world uses Facebook. It is so powerful that even disseminating your products and services is more than possible. If you still haven’t got a Facebook account, start creating one. You can add up to 5000 friends in one account. After creating an account, you can start to advertise and market your products and services. Taking pictures of them and tagging them up to your friends will increase your business promotion.

These three ways will only be a success if you are determined and patient. Being successful does not happen overnight. While these do not need for you to have big cash out; it requires perseverance, hard work, and faith that you can climb up the ladder of success.
