Advertising is just one of the life blood of any business, the other is the customer. Without advertising, there are no customers.

When there are no customers there is no money, and if there is not any money, you are broke.

Every company that exists does so for one reason, they have some form of advertising that they use.

Some companies use several different types of advertising.

For an online business, you can advertise online. There are a several ways to do this. One way is to place free ads on classified sites such as craigslist, or back pages and there are others where you can also advertise on for free, but the ones I just mentioned are famous and are known to have viewers.

Not all free classified sites are good to advertise on. The reason is, there are sites which are not seen by people.

You can also advertise on classified sites that have you pay to place your ad. Chances are you will have a lot of people see it.

You can place an ad or ads on YouTube. It is really easy to do. Just put together a script and make sure you have a camera and mic on your computer, IF you do not, then purchase these items. Then just go to YouTube and sign up and place your ad. I will not go in to detail of how to do it, but you can learn by going on to a search engine and typing in "how to advertise on YouTube" and several sites will come up.

You can also advertise your site or sites by placing ads on social networks, such as face book or twitter.

In fact, if you look around, there are a lot of companies these days that do that in the real world.

You can learn how to advertise on social networks by going to a search engine and typing in "How to advertise on " and put in the name of the social network you wish to advertise on.

You are not stuck with only advertising online, however. Look at the big companies, Wal-Mart, McDonald's , and others. They do not only advertise online, but they also advertise other ways as well.

You can advertise by passing out fliers. Make up a flyer about your business and put it up on bulletin boards and/or pass them out everywhere.

If you can afford it, put an ad on a billboard. These can be very expensive so make sure you can afford it.

You can even place ads in your local newspapers.

Yes, there are a lot of ways to promote your business and a lot of them I have not even mentioned here. Do what you feel is the best thing for you and good luck with your business.
