In fact creating a free report, is a lot harder advertising a free report. It is just a matter of coming up with a list of good ezines and discussion boards to advertise your home based business ideas on.

You need to generate a list of ezine publishers so you can send them articles to use for their ezine. Ezine advertising is quick and easy, the hardest part is writing the ad copy for your ads and finding ezines to advertise your home based business ideas in.

Start a Advertising campaign.
The whole aim of this advertising campaign is to generate leads for your home based business free report, so you really want to advertise anywhere you think that people might be interested in your report. Since you are not going for a direct sale, this allows you to be a little less worried about how targeted your audience is. The easist and cheapist way to start is by using Classified Ads
Classified Ads
start your home based business ideas advertising campaign first with classified advertising, where you can get a classified ad for around $2 per ad.
Some of the sites that you can have a look at are;
Partneon.com
Twodollarads.com
If you search through ezine directories you will find lots of other places to advertise cheaply
Even though writing classified ads has turned into an art form, it is not difficult to learn, there are thousands of books on the subject of writing successful classified ads. Although some people do over complicate the issue.
Some ideas as to what makes a good classified ad?,
1) An attention grabbing headline.
2) A promise
3) A call to Action
Once you have found a few good ezines, keep advertising with them, once you gave started making money with your home based business classified ads, it will be time to start using sponsorship ads
Sponsorship ads
While sponsorship ads have a dramatic increase in your home based business advertising cost, the results will also be drastically different. A top sponsorship ad can cost any where between $15 to £300 depending on where you are advertising.
Sponsorship ads will also give you an indication of how will the ezine pulls and whether or not it is worth the time and effort to purchase a solo ad
Solo Ads
Also compare the price between a sponsorship ad or a solo ad, because if you can get a Solo ad for an extra$50, then it will definitely be worthwhile to go for the Solo ad.
Discussion board posting
Another method of free advertising for your home based business ideas, is by discussion board posting, which can be extremely effective especially if the message board is inside a members-only site where you paid to join.
The idea here again is not to spam the message board, but to actually add some content. Only answer questions you know a lot about, do not try to come across as an expert on a topic when you are not, this is the best way to ruin your reputation before you are even lucky enough to create one.
Signature files are little burbs of text either after a post in a message board or at the bottom of your email, the idea of the signature file is to make them as short and as compelling as possible.
Link your signature file to your sales page. A good idea is to use a separate tracking system to track how many hits your message board postings are receiving.
