Hey Wave of Gratitude, Congratulations on your new business. I think that some of the best ways to get noticed are to participate in a community. For example, since you have a blogging section, participate in the comments section of blogs similar to yours. As you build rapport with others they may be willing to do a feature about your site on their blog, or put a link on their page. That can help get the web word of mouth out there. Good luck to you!

Hi, Wave of Gratitude! You might also want to look into Work It, Mom's marketplace feature. Also, check out the articles here about marketing, and inexpensive advertising... members have been very generous in sharing their experience with the rest of us! Here are two, to start:

There is actually a really fun and informative site called the 30 Day Challenge. It is an internet marketing challenge that teaches you to use free web tools to promote your website and make money online. The official challenge kicks off on August 1st I think. It is currently in the second week of preseason and I have already learned a lot about free social networking and other tools I wasn't aware of.

I think this is the fourth year of the challenge. Some past participants have done very well.

Best of luck in your new business!

Hi SinglemommynTN,

Get involved in different communities just like this one. Get involved in the forums. Offer advice and valuable information. Start a blog about resumes. Once again offer tips and valuable advice. Show that you are an expert. Make two friends a day. You can do this either online or offline.

BELIEVE Success!

Lisa

Hi i was wondering if you would like to exchange links. I just started my website and well it seems to exchange links with other websites they want you to pay!

So if you would like maybe we can exchange a link? My product is a mei tai baby carrier, but i don't mind if your items are not in the same boat, just as long as our product is in another location.

if so let me know and we can get started thanks Robye!

I just added a page to my site. Anyone with a site that wants a link please send me your info. It only needs to be a positive site and we will add as many as we can fit.

Thank you
