One of the most important parts of a home business is making sure that you have enough work to keep a steady flow of income. So, before you even start your home business, you should begin an advertising campaign. Don't quit your job or start your home business with blinders on, as you will be setting yourself up for failure. You should have a constant flow of potential customers or repeat customers, depending on the kind of business you operate. Some types of home businesses have guaranteed repeat business, while others are occasional jobs.

Although advertising is an important part of your home-based business, some fields don't require it because of the nature of the work. Transcriptionists, for example, don't require a large database of customers since most of that work will come through the courts, doctors or lawyers, depending on the type of transcription you do. In most cases, these fields don’t require advertising because usually your credentials alone will provide you with repeat business.

In order to assure that you always have a constant flow of work, make sure that you
have a database of customers or clients. Don’t spam anyone, but if someone has contacted you in the past about a project or you have previously worked with an individual, you can send that person a short email asking if you can be of further assistance.

The key is keeping your contact list up to date and staying in touch with people you assist. You could get into the habit of offering bonuses for referrals that ultimately become one of your customers.

Even if your home-based business doesn't require ongoing advertising, you must advertise up front in order to gain the momentum you need to get your business off to a good start. You don't have to spend a great deal of money on advertising, but do keep in mind that sometimes the free Internet sites do not afford the same success rate as the paid ones. You will have more success with the sites that require even a small fee for advertising.

Other ways to advertise include signature lines in your email, link exchange programs and submitting your website to as many search engines as possible, within your budget. Some free submission services are available, but again, your site will not reach as many search engines as those charging a fee. It does take some money to make money, so you have to invest some of your own money if you expect to make your home-based business a success.
