    You’ve got a couple questions here; let’s tackle them one at a time.

    Re: Business Startup Expenses

    I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.

    Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:

    * The Business Startup Checklist and Planning Guide: Seize Your Entrepreneurial Dreams! by Stephanie Chandler
    * How to Really Create a Successful Business Plan: Step-by-Step Guide by David E. Gumpert
    * What No One Ever Tells You about Starting Your Own Business: Real-Life Start-Up Advice from 101 Successful Entrepreneurs (What No One Ever Tells You About Starting Your Own Business) by Jan Norman

    Re: Advertising/Marketing

    As far as search engine placement, I think Imisidro’s going to give you the best information out there. If she doesn’t post to you, you can see her profile — she’s the #1 Answerer in the Business & Finance section

    Here’s other marketing ideas:

    A few free resources – check out the sources box for links:

    1) Create a blog pertaining to your field

    2) Use Yahoo! Local & Yahoo! Groups – Be sure to read the TOS for each one!

    3) Write articles pertaining to your field and/or expertise.

    Also, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other’s sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates & the program are paid a commission.

    I listed a few handy sites & articles relating to marketing, promotion & advertising. Here are some book titles that are relevant:

    * The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Marketing Basics by Sarah White
    * The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing by Al Ries, Jack Trout
    * Creative Advertising: Ideas and Techniques from the World’s Best Campaigns by Mario Pricken
