I always like to see new and diffrent things online, and people that think out side the box are my favorite, thats why I chose Homebizblogger’s favorite monthly biz - Baltimore Locksmith this month- not only do they provide services but they offer referrals. It isn’t the regular ebay business or selling ads business. I would love to come up with a idea like this, and becoming a locksmith is not that hard, just call around and you could be up and running in no time, maybe even be part of a branch of the Baltimore one! Whatever you do while researching what business to be in, try to think outside the box, if everyone else is doing it, it could be an inundated market, try to be different.

The new blog, wordpress reworked, is doing pretty good. I’ve already had quite a few clients, and just finished with the redesign drawing. The only promotion I have done thus far is when I promoted the contest; every day at been working at promoting all three Blogs by submitting to directories and search engines, but I’m thinking about doing some offline promotion for the design blog, like getting imprinted pens or even printing up some flyers.

They had some pretty cheap ones online and if I only spend like $50.00 then just getting one redesign client from them would make it worth it. What do you think?

Blog Promotion 101- Link Exchange

June 25, 2007 | Author: Eve Lester | Filed under: SEO and Marketing

My last post in the series detailed on how to get listed in the search engines. More than likely your blog is not anywhere near the top of the results for your keyword choices as of yet.

Next they check for popularity, some search engines, like Google, look at a link to your site from another as a virtual ‘vote’ for that site. By submitting to several search …
