Whatever business you choose to run, you need to make sure that the are on the cutting edge when it comes to marketing. Marketing is the lifeblood of Any business. If you don't properly market your business, the word wont get out about your business. If no one knows about your business, who is going to buy? That's why marketing is so key. "Marketing is the Art & Science of empowering, communicating and developing a relationship with another human being, based on their needs, not mine or yours as a marketer or promoter" Quoted by my mentor Val Smyth.
Know Your Competition Well
The other half of the marketing is your advertising. When you are advertising, getting the word out about your business, you want to keep a very close eye on your competition. Keep in mind that you only need to do 5% more than your competition. 90% of your competition will think they are too busy to keep track of what you are doing. But this little tip will keep you aware of how many links they have to their site for SEO purposes. Also what authority sites are linking back to them.
Your Marketing Mindset Is Key
Most people come into the home based business arena with the mindset of "I will give this a try and see what happens". That is the worst mindset to have when going into a home based business. You can't let the fact that you are working out of your home get to you. You must still operate your home business as you would a offline brick and mortar business.
Niche Research
Research is one of the major keys to marketing. Keeping up with the newest trends and also when you are advertising. When you research all angles, doing 5% more than your competition wont be a hard task to accomplish.
