List your business on free local advertising sites Advertising increases the odds of reaching your target customer, but you don’t need to invest cash into advertising to get started. Attract your target market by listing your online store on free advertising sites. Free advertising doesn’t drain an already-limited small business of its resources. Invest some time into creating a profile, uploading your product listings, and writing a description that encourages them to buy through your online website (instead of the free advertising site). You’ll reach the millions of people who search online marketplaces to discover new products and services. Be sure to always include your website link in the content of your ads.
