I recently talked about three things you could do right now to help your cash flow. I hope your were able to implement those three things in your business. And with that in mind, here are three more. These are a bit more long term, but will help your cash flow if you can implement them in your business.

1. Package your products or services to deliver on a regular basis and take advantage of recurring billing. You could set up a product or service of the month club or an exclusive membership that your customers can subscribe to and pay you every single month.
2. Partner up with a complementary business and have them sell your products or services as a value-added benefit. The two of you can brainstorm to find where you can get the most bang for your buck and then split the proceeds.
3. Stay on top of outstanding invoices. Everyone wants to save money. Offer a small discount — two to five percent — to your customers for paying within fifteen days rather than waiting the usual thirty. Monitor and act quickly on any invoices that cross the thirty day threshold with no payment.

You don’t need a huge budget to market your business online as long as you’re willing to invest some “sweat equity.” A good way to put your sweat equity to work and reap the benefits for your business is to write free reprint articles and post them to article database sites. Ezine Articles is the authority and my favorite. The articles should be tell the reader “how to” do something and be helpful.

There are several more ways to market with few (zero!) funds. Here are eight ideas for you.

1. Write letters to the editor of publications your target market reads.
2. Get involved in an organization or community project.
3. Build strategic alliances with non-competing businesses and cross-promote each other.
4. Publish a special report. A “super how to” list for your specialty area. Distribute freely. Ensure that your contact information is included.
5. Speak to groups and organizations. Make sure the audience is your target market.
6. Carefully target relationships with media sources.
7. Write newsworthy press releases and distribute to your special contacts.
