Cool Re: How to spread the word about your business fast?

Hi Henrik, there are heaps of free methods for SEO traffic, but may take a few days.
The fiverr website someone mentioned is really awesome and some people also offer to do backlinks which is a must for your site to get in the top search engine rankings too.
Depending on how much time you want to give, you could start a blog, then you can promote that on fb and twitter and search for other people on twitter who also mention something related to your product/keyword you choose.
Submitting articles with your website link in them can be a huge help, writing a really good article(s) will help get higher rankings, with more views which will equal more traffic and its quality traffic as they read your article so they are interested. You can even do a google search on how to write good articles or you can pay someone to do them for you.
If you do a blog, you can submit this to blog directories and help to get even more traffic to your new site. Or you can just submit articles to the blog websites, if you do a google search you should be able to find quite a few blog sites to submit articles, and the same with article directories.
There are also forums dedicated to traffic and websites which can help you too.
It may take a few days, but its all worth it in the end.
Lots of luck!

Hi there,

Well, there are so many ways to try to bring in more attention to your business. You can try Facebook, as others mentioned, you can use Twitter (which also means you need to get followers), you can join email lists to gain a 'downline', which could take months, you can post ads at classified ad sites, and so on. It can be very frustrating, I know, I'm doing it myself I have a free ad share type newsletter where you can post a free ad in it... it only allows 10 ads at a time so at least you're not competiting with thousands of the same types of ads. If you're interested you can check it out. To me, the more exposure the better, especially the free stuff


Good luck!

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.


Randy

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?

Default Jim Straw MONSTER Secret About Building On-line Customer List

Thanks.

Good Question.

From what I'm hearing in backroom scuttlebutt from the PLAYERS.

Jim Straw has it right!

Most on-line Guru's use off-line methods to build their lists. Sure - once you
have a massive list - then you can swap, counter endorse, JV and leverage
with other big boys.

BUT. If you want to Think Big. Leverage your time and dollars. DIRECT
MAIL, Trade Mag ads and articles, Radio ads, car bumper signs, Joint
Venture Endorsed offers - OFF-LINE is the way to go.

NONE of them TALK about it because it would KILL their sales of HOW-TO-Do-
it-from-your-Computer-Chair - SALES.

I've been using Radio Interviews Successfully
to add Subscribers.

I can Introduce you to some Radio Hosts
who need a constant stream of Interesting Content - if you wanna go

I think, you can do email campaign. You can hire people for that or if you want to have lesser cost, do it by yourself.

I can't pm Don since I don't have enough posts or I would.

Default 3 REASONS WHY You DON'T Want to STOP Refunds COLD

Hey Charlie,

Don Alm is a very successful salesman and marketer. AND he has a Gift
For writing Compelling headlines. (I don't know what he means exactly by STOP REFUNDS.)

I'm going to explain why I don't do it.

I first met Don in 1990 at a Jay Abraham bootcamp. And let me say right
Now - Don is VERY Good at what he does.

Anyway.

In My Mastermind Network MUNNY Making MAGIC Happens when we all
agree to Disagree. And combine or adapt different ideas.

So here's Why I Disagree with the CONCEPT of Stopping ALL REFUNDS.

1st - The Best of the Best Marketers - on and off-line Have a Not so
Secret List of POISON PEOPLE they won't sell to.

Lawsuits, harassment of employees, theft and more.
They SHARE this list to Avoid losing MILLIONS.

2nd - My 426 Million dollar Mentor - Walter Hailey set up and trained
all his Team members to Invisibly SCREEN out Poison PEople with
Handwriting Analysis.

He said, "Since just ONE Problem Person Can DESTROY a company - if I
Find a client, supplier, employee, seminar attendee who Does something
ROTTEN - I don't tell them but I quietly DELETE them from my business."

3rd - Giving Refunds is Your SAFETY NET against being Sued. Or having
a customer tell thousands of people you are a Lying, Cheating, RAT.

ACTION SUMMARY -

With That Said - there ARE Some things You CAN DO to Reduce Refunds:

(JUST REMEMBER - If a buyer INSISTS - Give them a Refund.)

A - I boosted my Guarantee on all my Products to --A 365 day 100%
Munny Back Guarantee--.

B - Instead of 10 or 12 Chapter E-books or Video Books or Audio/E-books
I go the Extra 100 Miles and Often put 25 CHAPTERS into a book. Plus
BONUSES and Surprises.

C - AND I Sell my very, very Advanced NLP Flirt and Sales Materials to
mostly AFFLUENT men and women Entrepreneurs who ALWAYS GET
WHAT they WANT!

They can BUY ANYTHING.

So.

I throw them a Curve.

I REFUND their Munny Unless they can Pass a TEST.

Unusual?
Different?
WEIRD?

Oh Yes!

But it works Very Very Well.

And Actually BOOSTS My sales because Successful Small Business
Entrepreneurs are ALSO very Competitive!

So.

To Summarize.

In My Experience it's DANGEROUS to STOP ALL REFUNDS. Because you
NEVER know who you've made HOT, Jumping MAD.

The Mad Bad Word of Mouth can Hurt Your Company a LOT.

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn
