A well-written, attention grabbing news story could land you a lot of new customers. It should be no longer than one page in length and include photos if available. In order for your press release to get published, you must have an interesting angle or be participating on something noteworthy. A new business opening is interesting, but isn’t likely to garner a lot of continued attention. But, a new business who is providing a contest with free entries may do the trick. If you are a photographer, offer a free photo package to the winner. If you own a website, allow visitors to enter their e-mail address for a chance to win a free prize package or something relevant to your business. Everyone likes free stuff and if you give your customers what they want, they will be back for more.

If you have a home business, you should definitely consider getting a website. The internet is a terrific place to post your press release but, in order for internet promotion to be effective, you will need a website. Promoting your spot on the world wide web with press releases and article marketing are just a few of the ways to get free publicity. Others include link exchanges with friends, acquaintances and other businesses.

Just as there are plenty of ways to obtain paid advertising, there are just as many ways to get free publicity for your home business. Publicity doesn’t have to be expensive and, for those who are truly resourceful, it may not even cost a cent.
