Joining networks is a great way to advertise. Ryze and Networking For Her are two great networks. Networking is a great way to meet new people. You learn about their business and then refer people to them. That is a great way to build trust with people. Once they trust you they will be willing to buy from you or refer people to you.
Plugboards are another great place to advertise. They are free to post to, which is a great thing. Some plugboard owners require you to have a plugboard on your site in order to post on there’s, but most do not require one.
Offline advertising is a great way to attract local people to your business.

You could create a mom pack and put your business cards, flyers, or samples in them as well as info from others. You can join mompack.com and ask people to send fillers to you. You can take your packs to daycares and churches. You can also send your items to those requesting fillers.
