Any company or product won’t ever sell without advertising. A simple home based business like making or selling pastries needs some kind of advertising method to sell.

What pastry flavor would people in your community or locale would like? Do you think that people in your community would even like pastries at all?

Another way to advertise for free is to place your home based business in local directories in the web. A blog site or your very own website can also do wonders to your home based business opportunity.
