Are you a small business owner looking to advertise for free or for very little out of pocket? Here are a few things that have worked well for me.
I have found that there are a few ways to get free advertising for any upcoming event or small business...that's right, for FREE! The first way of course is going to be word of mouth. Tell friends, family and coworkers and ask them to spread the word.

Another great way to get attention to your event or business is to print (or have someone else print) out some flyers advertising your business. These can be simple black and white or in color. After you have these printed, I recommend hanging them on bulletin boards at work, school, community areas and more. You can also distribute these in the box below peoples mailboxes in your target area.

Finally, advertise online. There are so many great FREE places to advertise online. Take advantage of a free listing on Questionfish.com! Craigslist is another terrific website that offers free advertising. One last option is to plaster your myspace, facebook and twitter updates with your news!!
