How to spread the word about your business fast?

Whatever happened to Henrik?

It is always interesting to me when a person seeks help or otherwise starts a thread on something and then they vanish.

Sometimes it could be health related, financial related or other life situations that get in the way. Hopefully none of the aformentioned is this case with Henrik.

I was just curious as to what happened since so many shared their thoughts and knowledge.

Personally I am interested in knowing if Henrik was able to meet or hopefully surpass the goal in mind when help was sought here. I hope the answer is yes to this. It would be great to learn of what worked.

Either way ... Henrik, good success to you in your endeavors.

Also I thank all the other responders because I can only look at things through my past experiences as well as the stories of other peoples experiences. That is a bit one dimensional ... so thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences that we ALL might benefit & grow.

I am about to start up my own internet based business and would (obviously) like to get as many members subscribing to my site as possible. I am willing to spend money on SEO and Google Adwords, but I wonder how I can use my own existing network to get through to thousands within days or weeks.

E.g. I have 300+ Facebook friends and 150+ LinkedIn connections. I assume I have close (enough) relations with around 100 to use them in spreading my message and get them to sign up on my site. But how do you - generally speaking - break through to their network. What incentives do people need to send a message to their 10+ closest friends, who again send it to their 10+ closest friends etc?

Is begging enough?
