Here are three things you can do to get your Online Business noticed in less then a Week!

Now to keep it simple, let’s just say all you have a business or service and a computer.

1st – Get a free blog if you’re new to blogging I suggest Blogger.com to start with and if your a bit more internet savvy you will want to host you own Wordpress Blog.

(At some point you will differently want to host your own WordPress blog. I will write more  about the reasons why  it’s very important for hosting your own site in another post.)

2nd – Write two articles, 250-300 words each on your passions or about the field your in. Note* DO NOT mention your personal product(s) or service(s) or a sales page (that comes later). Here is couple of examples: Say you’re in real estate. It would go something like… “10 tips on what to look for when buying a home” or “How to find out if a community is right for your family”. Say you’re a teacher… “Five ways to improve your child’s study habits”. You get the picture. What you are doing is creating quality content. These will attract a larger audience. NO Selling! Now post these articles on your blog and be sure to have filled out your contact information, bio/contact number / email / Picture of yourself. Now share this either by email with your friends and colleagues, and if you’re using social media, sites like facebook, twitter and LinkedIn to name a few. Be sure to say something like, just posted a new article on my blog about… you fill in the blank.

3rd – If you have a web cam do the same as above in step 2. If you don’t have one, be sure and ask for a web cam for your birthday. Now you’ll want to keep your videos between 3 and 5 minutes long. This way you are valuing other people’s time.

Then post your new video to your blog, facebook etc. If your just starting out YouTube and Metacafe work great. Also read about how to embed your video too your web page or blog. That’s it. If you have relevant content, meaning is it informative, enlightening or entertaining. People will share it with others and they will contact you. Asking you for more information and what you do to earn an income online. Then and only then do you talk about your produce or service. What you are doing is your creating trust with your articles, so that people will seek you out for your advice and services. This is Attraction Marketing.

Businesses Working Together through Social Networking

A few years ago I use to own and operate a mobile shuttle and valet parking company in my local area. I worked a lot with event and wedding planners and with local catering businesses to provide services.

One of the planners had asking me about working with their competition. I went on to explaining that your Catering company may be booked on a certain date or not available when you close for 3 weeks in the fall and that referring clients to the other company would in fact help your business by asking them to in turn do the same. Well seven years later these two, Blue Onion Catering and D’Lish are still working with one another and are very successful businesses in our area.

So just by creating relationships and networking with others, even your competition. You can start growing your business while others are still overlooking and not taking advantage of the power of Networking. By joining or by building a social network(s) of like minding individuals, you are creating a idea and turning that idea into a no cost cash machine.
