Advertising for your own small business is a steep hill to climb, but with patience and a little time, climb that hill you will.

Some simple first steps you can take to start your advertising empire are:

1. Write some credible content that reflects what is happening now and publish them through Helium or HubPages or some other free publishing site. Then place your links strategically in the articles and pages.

2. Build a Website or two or ten. There are free services out there. Like anything, with a little research you are sure to find a few.

3. Post your links any and everywhere you can. Forums and messageboards are good places to start. Topix is another place you might try.
