My New Website

I've finished my new website. Aside from a few glitches it went pretty smoothly. I think I got them all worked out. I'll be touching it up here and there. Check it out here.

Adding on to my last post, I got another 2 signups in Hits2U, a signup in SFI and a signup in GDI . No new subscribers for my newsletter.

I haven't been doing too much surfing or anything since I've been working on my site. Now I have to surf to build my credits up, I've been slacking.

I joined a couple new programs today. VitalViral and Traffic Hoopla. They help build downlines in different traffic exchanges. I'll give it a try and see how I like it.

Advertising Your Home Internet Business

Advertising your home base internet business is not as hard as it sounds. As a matter of fact, more and more savvy methods of advertising are cropping up that help entrepreneurs to not only get the word out about their home base internet business, but to provide useful services to the community while doing so.

Sure, in the early days of internet marketing it was customary to
design banner ads that were full of neon colors and moving characters.
Webmasters soon discovered that customers did not appreciate this kind of advertising and soon eliminated much of it from their pages.

This left those with a home base internet business scrambling for new
solutions. While banner ads are still around, they have undergone a great
change. They are now tastefully designed with an eye to wittiness rather
than shock value. Additionally, generous affiliate programs ensure that many webmasters are once again working hard to spread the word of any home base internet business that is willing to share a bit of the profit.

Yet there are also other modes of advertising your home base internet
business within your own community. For example, if you own a doggie biscuit business that relies on internet orders, why not pass out fliers in your community with the web address? Additionally, you will be able to attend pet shows and spread the word there.

Print ads in major dog fancier magazines will target an audience most likely to purchase your product, while sponsorship of local events – such as toy drives during the holidays – will not only benefit your community but also your business! If you have a family that is very supportive of your efforts, you may even get the kids involved – a little dress up fun in a nice costume is a definite perk – handing out samples of your doggie biscuits.

Progress

Well things are moving along smoothly. It's slow but I don't mind. I love doing this. In a couple years I'll look back here and it'll all be worth it. This month I've had 11 subscribers to my newsletter. That may be nothing to those that get that many in a few hours, but to me, it's great lol. I've also had a couple sign ups in SFI.

Other programs I'm involved with are Hit2U, which I got 4 signups and NPN which produced 1 sign up this month so far.

I'm looking forward to many more!!

My back links have been rising. They went from about 660 to 860 recently. Maybe some of my articles I submitted in March are finally getting published! I'm also getting a bit more traffic to my site. I still have a long way to go but even a little bit of progress is good. I'm still keeping busy submitting articles, placing classifieds, blogging, forum posting and clicking.

Stumbleupon

Stumbleupon is a social network I heard about in the Plug-in Profit Site forum. It seems pretty cool. you vote for and review sites and people do the same for you. I'm very new to it so I have a lot to learn.

Sign up at Stumbleupon then go to my stumbleupon site and add me as a friend. After that go to my Work at Home Business Opportunities site and vote for it and leave a review.

When you sign up there is a toolbar to download and you can vote from there.

Jump Start?

Well I invested in something called guaranteed referrals. This program matches your business with people who fit the profile. These prospects fill out their information and state what they are willing to pay to start a business and are matched with business opportunities that they may be interested in. I'll be happy to even get a couple sign ups. I ordered 500 so we'll see how it goes. It may take some time to fill the order.

I'm still submitting articles, blogging, and posting on forum to build my back links. I have over 600 now so they're going up regularly. I'm still working on getting regular traffic to my site and increase the numbers. Slowly but surely!! This business takes a lot of persistence, patience and hard work, but I'm up to the challenge!!!
