  Good Afternoon to everyone. My business partners and I have recenly launched an onllne jewelry store that is focused on gratitude. We also have a community bloggin section. My question is what is the best way to let people know about our products and community?

  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!

  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!
