Some resources that have helped me include:

Free e-books on a dozen different Internet marketing topics. They do promote SiteSell products but nonetheless provide a lot of great information:

http://freetrial.sitesell.com/mdw.html (affiliate link)
http://freetrial.sitesell.com (non-affiliate link)

I have a Squidoo Lens that lists many free resources:

http://squidoo.com/best-free-internet-advertising

A few of the links on that page are mine but most of them were contributed by other Internet marketers.

By the way, building a Squidoo Lens (free) is another great way to slowly but surely drive traffic to your site. You can sign up when you visit the site above.

Visit forums, get to know people, help out, ask questions and include a link to your web site in your "sig file" or signature at the end of your post. Some good forums:

http://wahm.com – Work At Home Moms — you don’t have to be a Mom to visit the forum but it is mostly women on the forum, which many women find very helpful. This is a great group of people–they are *very* helpful and many of them have years and years of home business experience. They even tolerate us guys who visit the forum! ;o)

Look for "Message Boards" on the left side menu when you get to the site.

Conquer Your Niche Forum — A lot of newcomers ("newbies") to Internet marketing visit this forum because there are a lot of other people with experience who help them. You can also earn free ads on the site every time you read someone else’s post or make a post yourself. As with the WAHM Forum, ask questions, help others, and include your web site info in your signature. Also post your ads.

http://www.conqueryourniche.com – non-affiliate link

Note: When you sign up for the Conquer Your Niche Forum, you’ll see an offer to upgrade to an "Elite" member for $197. Although if you use my affiliate link and were to buy the Elite membership, I would earn a commission, I do not recommend it. I just don’t think you get $197 worth of extra features unless you plan to post several times a day.

To learn how to write great ads, look at the ads that grab your attention on the site. Also invest in Headline Creator Pro, which sells for under $20 if you look around–search on Yahoo and Google and check out EBay. In five minutes it will generate over 50 possible headlines based on basic information you input into the program.

Advertising on the Pay-Per-Click (PPC) programs like Google Adwords and Yahoo Search Marketing can be very effective but you really need to know what you are doing. You can lose a lot of money fast otherwise. There’s a great guide at:

http://payperclicksearchengines.com

That site also ranks the PPC programs. You might want to start out using a smaller search engine such as GoClick, MIVA, or Enhance before Google or Yahoo. GoClick in particular is low-cost and has good service.

If you represent a network marketing company, you might be interested a free lifetime subscription to my e-zine (newsletter), Internet and Network Marketing Success!:

I hope this helps and I wish you much success with your home business!

Being community driven it’s a cross between a search engine and a Wikipedia. You can add, delete and improve the results for much more focused answers than a general search engine can provide.

A few free resources – check out the sources box for links:

1) Create a blog pertaining to your field

2) Use Yahoo! Local & Yahoo! Groups – Be sure to read the TOS for each one!

3) Write articles pertaining to your field and/or expertise.

4) Advertise on Craiglist

Also, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other’s sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates & the program are paid a commission.
