Prospects are the life blood of your Zurvita home based business. As mentioned in my previous post, online marketing is a great way to get more prospects and accelerate your growth and success. The problem is not knowing the tools that are available to market online.
That’s why I’ve created a list of the top 5 FREE online resources that all home business owners should be using to explode their business’ growth.
Resource #1: MySpace
By far the best place to start your online marketing journey is on MySpace. MySpace is not just for kids and teens anymore. Now people of all ages of working and playing on MySpace. So if you have a home based business, MySpace is a must have resource.
I have found MySpace to be very user friendly and easy to set up. It is also the most marketer friendly in that it will not limit you on promoting your business or adding friends. One word of caution though, it is highly addictive so you have to manage your time wisely. You can easily get sucked into the world of chatting with friends, blogging and browsing other people’s profiles.
Like I stated before, MySpace is a fantastic tool for business. You can promote yourself and Zurvita freely. Which means you can reach more people that you may not have been able to without it!
Resource # 2: YouTube
One of the best ways to spread the news about your business is video marketing. YouTube is the best site to use for video marketing. The videos range from silly to informative. There are millions of new videos and millions of new subscribers each month. If you can garner if just a small fraction of the traffic, you can easily generate a five to six figure income.
Despite all of the videos on YouTube, you can still stand out in the crowd and make yourself and your Zurvita business get noticed! You can check out my YouTube channel to see how I marketing with videos:

Another good thing about online video marketing is that it doesn’t have to be super high quality. You just need a computer and a regular old video camera and you’re all set.
Resource# 3: Ezine Articles
Article marketing is the best way to become the leader that people want to follow. It brands you as the expert so start submitting articles about your home based business and the products you market. Ezine Articles is by far the biggest and most successful article directory online. Think of it as the 800 pound gorilla in the room!
You don’t have to be a professional writer to submit articles to online directories. If you feel you are not good at writing or having writers block, there several places online where you can have good quality articles written for you at a fair price. Either way, all home business owners should be publishing on Ezine Articles.
Resource # 4: Digg.com
Another great way to get more people to see your websites, your articles, videos, blogs and more is social bookmarking. Social bookmarking works just like bookmarking a site you really like on your computer but you are opening up your bookmarks for all of the internet to see.
These social bookmarking sites are easy to use and best of all they are FREE. So if you don’t like a site you are using, you didn’t waste any money on trying it out. The biggest social bookmarking site is Digg.com. It gets millions of views every single month. Using Digg to bookmark your websites, articles, blogs and videos, increases the chances of people seeing them dramatically.
Resource# 5: WordPress
A weblog or Blog is like an online journal or at least that’s how they started out. But these days everyone who owns their own business should have a blog that helps them market online. WordPress is what most professional bloggers use and like the other sites I’ve talked about, it is very easy to set up and user friendly.
It will literally take you just a few minutes to get everything set up so you can start blogging right away. When you’re ready to blog, you will want to post once every couple of days. As people read your blog, they will become more and more interested in you and your business.
Online marketing is the next generation for marketing your Zurvita home based business. It is cost effective and very productive in terms of your return on investment. Best of all, these 5 websites are just the beginning. As technology changes, there will be more and more ways to brand yourself online!
