Just saw this excellent and funny little video explaining the principles of social media marketing.
Its aimed at larger enterprises than most work at home businesses but the principles are the same no matter what your size. If you have a business in just about anything you can learn from this how to spread the word in a positive light.

I keep coming across some cool little businesses run right from home that almost anyone can do.
I recently came across a couple who have a nice little business dealing in sports related collectibles including football trading cards as well as little figurines and souvenir signed posters etc.
They do everything in their own time using a website to market their goods and getting traffic from links, adwords and some ebay marketing.
While its not their main income they do very nicely from it, its enough to pay for the treats and to set up their retirement fund, though I reckon they’ll be doing this stuff well past retirement from work.
Good luck to them, always nice to hear of folk setting themselves up with a little security doing something they love!
