"If you build it, they will come" is not necessarily true on the Web. Putting a website up is one thing, but getting visitors to come to your site is another. The process becomes even more difficult if you have limited resources to market your business.\n\nYou can try pay per click advertising, but carefully monitor your ROI and make sure that your landing page will convert well. If the product is new, then you have to educate the market. Make them realize that they want and need this product.\n\nHere are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible: \n\n1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.\n\n2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!\n\nRecommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/\nBig Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml \nCGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/\nHostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html\n\n3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.\n\nIf you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm \n\nSEO for Google http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/google.htm\nSEO for Yahoo! http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/yahoo.htm\nSEO for MSN http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/msn.htm\nTying It Together: SEO For The Big Three http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/seo.htm\n\n4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. My website (see my profile) accepts free press release submission (no strings attached!)\n\n5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.\n\nHere is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481\n\n6. Improve your conversion. Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article "10 Ways to Convert Visitors to Buyers" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/072005/conversion.htm for tips on how to improve your conversion rates.\n\n7

You need to put the description in your meta tags. Whoever designed your website should have done that- speak to them about it. If you yourself did it, make sure the first thing in your meta tags is a website description. Also, when you submit your website to website engines, just make sure when they ask about the website, that you put your description in aswell as your web address.\n\nAlso, dont use here to advertise your site ;)

I was suprised because i thought you company was very unprofessional because of the blog site but i found a link the the real site which is terrefic and extemely proffesional! I think you should put a huge company logo on the page and give it a hyperlink to your good site. The blog site is just a huge turnoff but if you just have a link to your site people will go to the site. \n\nId just like to say i absolutley love your site its very attractive with tons of languages. Id just ditch the blog spot site\n\nhttp://www.google.com/webmasters/add.html    this is a form to add your site to the google search my opionion when it asks for the test if would just put LEARN ENGLISH because if someone wanted to learn english thats what they would probably put into google. If you want put it on yahoo and other seach engines as well.\n\nEtan

Yeah, I see 3 problems with your question.\n\n1. You don't give enough information. (buyers for what?  from where?)\n2. Your comments are completely different from your question.  You ask about buyers, then make a personal ad??  What's that about?\n3. This ad could all too easily be misintrepted (I hope!) as you wanting to sell YOURSELF.  I assume that wasn't your intention.

1. You can sell products and run an ecommerce website like Newegg or Amazon\n\n2. You can publish information earn by advertising (through contextual advertising like Google Adsense and Yahoo Publishers Network; banner advertising such as Fastclick, Tribal Fusion and Burst Media; or your own ad sales)\n\n3. You can create members-only website and earn money throough monthly or yearly subscriptions such as most adult websites or Economist.com\n\n4. You can sell information products such as downloadable ebooks or CDRoms\n\n5. You can bring buyers and sellers in your portal such as eBay\n\n6. Sell services such as search engine optimization, graphics design, web design, online incorporation, domain broker, etc. \n\nOne article that I found very useful is "7 Steps to Successful Web Site Development" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol142/website.htm  as it takes to you all the decision steps that you need to take when starting an online business. Like any other business, startup period is full of "should I do this" or "should I do that" questions. The article is useful because it helps you think through every step of the way - from why do you want a website to who is your audience to how will you create your website to how you will market your new website.\n\nHere are the steps you need to take when creating your online business:\n\nSTEP 1: Set Your Goals - Why do you want a web site? What is the size of the online market? What are the goals for your website?\n\nSTEP 2: Develop Your Web Site Strategy - Who is your website target audience? What typically appeals to your target audience? How are the other websites (your competition) reaching out to this target audience? How will you measure your performance?\n\nSTEP 3: Set-Up Implementation Plans - What name will you give to your site? How do you envision the design of your web site? How will you create your website? How will you create your content? How will you maintain your website?\n\nSTEP 4: Start the Ball Rolling - Do you have a logo? For e-retailers, do you have the critical components needed to run an e-commerce site? How are you going to host your site?\n\nSTEP 5: Create and Launch Your Web Site - Have you uploaded your site with your chosen web host provider? Are the scripts and application you need for your website functioning well? Have you tested your website? \n\nSTEP 6: Promote Your Web Site and Measure Its Results - Do you have a plan in place to market your website? Do you regularly review your traffic logs and web site performance tracker? How are you going to get sites to link to you? Do you know the search engine keywords that you rank well? If your site is not visible in the search engine results pages for its keywords, what strategies do you intend to do? \n\nSTEP 7: Maintain Your Website and Grow Your Web Business - Continue to find ways to grow your web business. How do you intend to continue your education on web development?

Well, you certainly aren't showing me any intelligence by posting advertising in this forum. Since you're obviously not able to follow instructions, I'd hesitate to even consider you for any jobs.\n\nBut hey, perhaps you can suck in some clueless customer with more money than sense. Good luck in getting paid. The blind leading the blind.

Most graphic designers have some sort of track record.  Seems to me they should be able to provide samples of what they have already done.  The $100 homepage may be just as effective and just as creative as the $1500 homepage. \n\nBottom line: You are picking a graphic designer who is making your internet face, your homepage.  You should chose a person who is open to your ideas and is willing to exchange ideas, and hash out problems.  Choose one with whom you are comfortable.  Choose a designer who wants your company to be seen in the best possible light--  Someone you feel will work hard to incorporate your company's ideals through your homepage.  Someone who is willing to spend extra time, and dedicate extra effort to complete his task.\n\nIt sounds like you are worried that you will make an offer by email to a top talent and they will decline or won't respond.  How about instead of sending a low offer, if you send an email that says you are very impressed with their talent, but you not sure if you can afford their $1500 demands.  Then, let them respond with a lower offer. Then after you get their lower offer, you respond by praising their creativity, and expertise.  Explain your predicament of being in a cash bind right now, low liquidity, financial assets tied up, etc...and ask if they could possibly consider doing the homepage for $200.  If they don't have another job lined up ahead of you, they will probably take your offer.\n\nYou should be able to professionally, and respectfully haggle over the price, the same way you should be able to haggle over changes and improvements you may want incorporated into your homepage.\n\n\nBy the way, $200 is low.  How do you expect these poor souls to make a living?  Of course, it is better to have a paying job, than to not have one.

Follow any of the above advise and you will have a website that looks or works like what you paid for it. If you truly want to be successful in business you really don't want the first thing that potentially hundreds or thousand of people might see is some home made web page. \n\nTrue, any idiot can make a web page, most of them look like an idiot made it and most of them are either out of business or did what I did after I tried to do it myself and called a professional. Home made websites are like homemade brochures, they scream amateur, unprofessional and newbie. \n\nYou can find custom affordable web developers out there with a little work. Look for some one that has a large portfolio of work, who is proficient on all phases of what makes a successful website ie: Quality (non template) graphics, well defined and logical navigation, well functioning code/scripts and programs and most importantly marketing. You want someone who will help your website function as a major part of your marketing effort not as a hacked up afterthought.\n\nRemember two things....\n1) It does you no good to have a great billboard if it is sitting in the middle of the desert where nobody will see it (in other words, if nobody can find your website, what good is it).\n2) You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.\n\nI used a company down in California called Bright Hope Designs to do my sites for me. They are where I learned what I'm telling you. I was an amateur and they are very professional and are affordable.

Well, A very cheap idea is to first make it an intercity thing. Sounds weird, huh? Well, just send out some flyers about what your website is about. SHouldn't cost too much for many flyers.\n\nI would also suggest asking your friends to spread the message out, tell their friends how fun it is, then continue to make your website kick-ass so the word will continue to spread from friend to friend. Eventually, you'll have people talking about through the world wide web, and then you're pretty much set.\n\nIf you blog, talk in a forum, in a chatroom, etc., it's pretty easy to post a cool design for your website while you talk, so people will repeatedly see the ad in your signature. They will eventually check it out for kicks.\n\nYour best bet? Start with your friends, and when you have experience with updating your website and continually giving the people new stuff, then you'll want to address it to the people on the internet.
