Attract customers to your business website with pay-per-click advertising. With Google AdWords you can target customers in any town, region or country you choose. You can also set a limit on how much you spend and you only pay when somebody clicks on your ad. There’s no minimum spend or contract required. You set your daily budget, (for example, £5 a day) and a maximum cost for each click on your ad. When you join Home Business Network we will send a code so you can get £30 of free AdWords and see how easy it is to attract more customers with Google. If you just can’t wait (or would prefer not to join) then use the unique code on the Google flier distributed with this magazine in The Daily Telegraph.

What else do you get?

Exclusive offer on the Ultimate Leadership Guide

When Simon Teague left the corporate world to set up his own business, he didn’t forget the numerous books he had collected on leadership, motivation and communication. Instead he concentrated on finding ways to put the books to use. He spent two years speaking with some of the world’s best-selling business authors and distilled the knowledge contained in their books into easy-to-read principles. The result is The Ultimate Leadership Guide. “In many cases, the authors featured have added their own comments and diagrams giving real power to the guide. In less than three minutes you can now understand powerful concepts such as The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and apply them in your business and personal life,” says Mr Teague. “This leads you on the journey to self-improvement, continuous improvement and ultimate success.” The guide costs £197 and comes in both a hardback desktop calendar version that acts as a compendium you refer to daily, and also as an interactive electronic version with animation and documents embedded such as personal development plans and a range of planning tools. “You can even download a free sample of the electronic version to try before you buy,” he adds. Members who buy also get a free Limited Edition audio CD of the bestselling book Who Moved My Cheese? by Dr Spencer Johnson.
