You may have heard this phrase in your youth applied to a totally different topic but the concept applies to marketing equally as well. So often we fall victim to yet another marketing program and we ignore the incredible abundance of free business advise that is available to us on the internet or even TV.

If you are short of funds, don't try to solve your problem by spending more money on material that you can get for free. Do you want to learn how to write a better article?

EzineArticles has step by step tutorials on how to write and submit an article for publication for FREE!

Aweber will give you great tips on setting up a list and sending out newsletters.

Clickbank, Commission Junction and most of the affiliate networks have training available for affiliates on how to sell their products.

A google search will provide you a list of FREE reports on any subject, so use these to the fullest INSTEAD of spending money on a canned program that is likely to give you exactly the SAME information.

Note: Most often when you sign up for a free report or program you will need to submit your email address to the sender. Remember, this puts you on their mailing list and the next time your hear from them they will be trying to sell you an upgrade or "new and improved" version of the free information they just gave you. Hit the unsubscribe link to remove your name from future mailings and you will save yourself valuable time and lessen the risk of spending money you don't need to.

Remember, the key purpose in advertising is to convince you that NEED their product.
