Many people market a home business with no money. The fact is that you can market your home business online for free if you have a lot of time on your hands.
In the off line world this would be next to impossible, but on the internet you can market your website, products and services to millions of potential customers for free.There are hundreds of ways you could market your home business for free, but I will concentrate on the most effective ways in this short article.
Blogging:
If I had to start all over again from the beginning, I would definitely concentrate on blogging.It is an excellent way to market your home business with no money, and you can setup a blog for free too. Sometimes you need to invest some money to make money and now is a good time to do so.
I would highly recommend a Wordpress blog because it is so customizable compared to the other platforms. Please do not use a free blog, invest in your own domain name and hosting.A blog is short of weblog which is a online diary. Post a new article to your blog regularly and syndicate your content.Submit your blog to RSS directories and blog catalogs.Search on the internet for free places to submit your blog.
Remember to post only unique articles, do not use scraped content from other sites. Scraped and duplicate content you will only hurt your online reputation and be penalized by the search engines.
Forums:
Different online forums are great ways to market your home business for free.Find a few forums that are in your niche of business and use the signature file to market your home business.Read the FAQ of every forum to see how you can setup your signature file.
Post only a new reply when you can add some value to the discussion, do not post for the sake of posting.This can be seen as spamming and you could be banned.For every reply you post, you will get a link back at your website.Try to post daily.
Article Writing:
Articles are one of the absolute best ways to market your home business for free.It is also the most time consuming because you need to write articles that are interesting, unique and has a real value to the reader.If the article can provide a solution to a problem, even better!
When you start writing an article, make 2 different versions of it.Post one on your blog and submit one to the biggest article directories. There are some guidelines to successful article marketing that you should know about.In my opinion the best article directories are Ezinearticles.com, amazines.com and ideamarketers.com
Use these ideas to market your home business with no money, and soon you will see visitors and sales. It is important to know that marketing is not a one-time thing, you need to do this daily, weekly and monthly.

I agree with what you say about taking the time to invest in your own domain name and hosting. There are a number of reasons why this is important, but two that spring to mind are (a) you have full control over what you able to produce on your blog (within reason) and (b) with your own doamin, you can optimize your pages to gain high rankings in the search results and can build inwards links in order to build page rank.
The small investment in a domain and web hosting will repay itself many times over as you create content and build inwards links.
