Go to their market place and search for other product owners of your niche then write each of them an email requesting for a joint venture. It helps if you have a substantial mailing list to do cross promotions with.

The secret to a successful JV is to subscribe to the potential JV partner's newsletter. Read the newsletters and get an idea what kind of a person he is and the products that he promotes. Then send him a joint venture proposition after about two weeks but only if you feel good about it. Introduce yourself as his subscriber and how you enjoy reading his newsletters and that you have a product or service that you think would benefit both your businesses and suggest a JV.

Viral marketing is also a very effective and zero cost way of marketing your home online business. It has been known as the "online word of mouth" so to speak.
