Hmmm honestly for me don't start blogging it useless for me I already experienced that I create my own blog about my products or about my business.

I found out you don't have any audience or costumers vistit on your blog because the reality is it's so hard to rank on Google search.

The most effective strategy to promote your small business is in your community first if it's successful and you have some experienced how to handle you small business.

Tips: make your costumers as a promoter or advertiser to do that you need a good quality products, if your products is good the costumers will recommend your products to there friends to there neighbours or etc, and now you have a advertiser or promoter of your products and it's free.

Making use of the social media for your business advertising is one good way to promote the business without having to pay anything but your data bundle subscription. I know this because I'm actually making use of social media especially Facebook in promoting my perfume and body spray business.

I started this business when I was still in the university and the school department and premise happened to be my market place. I made a decent sales but eventually I decided to take the business sourcing of customers to a whole different level by taking it to the social media and everything changed. I had serious increase in sales because people were placing orders often and on.

Those are helpful, Now anybody knows if there is a legit website that all you have to do is to watch videos and earn money? oh, there are also those websites that all you have to do is listen to songs and you can earn money as well. I have heard some of this but to no avail. If there is such thing, really, that would be an awesome thing to do to kill time and earn money at the same time.
