Below you'll find 11 ezines that have given small and home-based businesses actionable information on how to market their businesses on a shoestring budget.

The ezines are from different areas of the world of marketing. From Internet marketing to copywriting, each ezine shares one enduring quality - a commitment to providing their audiences with real-world information they can immediately put to good use.

Thanks to all of the inductees for their efforts. They are greatly appreciated.
