Why don't u sell it on eBay? That way you'll have a lot of exposure and once you build some positive feedbacks, then you'll make more money.

Yes, I have found that the most important thing to do at this point is network.  You need to meet and deal with people.  Find trade shows, seminars, trade magazines and get out and grease palms and pass out your business cards.  After you meet people and get their business cards, e-mail them a short message of thanks for meeting you and maybe ask a fairly easy question.  This way they have sent you something and you will be in both their sent files and their address book.  Most people are flattered that you look up to them and respect their positions.  They will remember that and you and maybe send some business your way.  Good luck.\n\nTB

try networking events first.  The local Chamber of Commerce and Small business development center would be a great place to start.  Get your name out there, hit the streets and mingle.\n\na good online place to network would be http://www.merchantcircle.com\n\nthey're a new site whose sole purpose is to help small businesses grow. They provide tools to connect with the local community and help target potential customers through newsletters and coupons.\n\nhope this helps.

Wow!  I like your idea!  So they can submit photos and stuff to you and you compile them eh? \nI think the best way to start is to create a portfolio of your work, so others can see what you do.  Perhaps family and friends would be a good place to start.  Once you have several projects completed, you can then present what you offer to other people with more confidence.  \nYou can get som much information online to help with marketing etc.  It depends on where you are from.  \nGood luck with your venture... it sounds great!!!

I design computer networks for a state agency.\nI am assuming that you are talking about a line to provide you with internet access.\n\nYou need to consider several factors.\nHow many people on the LAN will access the internet.\nWhat software products are being used that require access the internet.\nWeb browsers\n\nvirus scan updates.  is everyones computer going to get their own updates from the internet or are you going to download the update once a week to a local server and have everyone access the server?  This would improve bandwidth.\n\nemail spam blocker, like symantec brightmail, how often is it going out and checking for updates.\n\nare you allowing people to use vpn through this circuit for remote access.\n\nare you hosting a web server or have a DMZ segment for others on the internet to utilize.\n\nConsider these factors.  Setup some rules on your firewall to limit use.\n\nI have 400 users in this building, and I have 2 T-1's(1.5Mb) that load balance traffic, and all of the situations above are true for me.\n\nIn my experience,\n\nless than 25 employees, 512K (Fractional T-1)\n50-100 (784K)\n100+ (Full T-1)\n\nYou still need to lease or buy a router like a Cisco 2811.\nIf you dont want the configuration and support responsiblity then lease it along withe the line.\nIf it goes down the phone company will come out and replace it for free, because its their property.\n\nGood Luck.

You said you had business cards made up.  Where or who did you hand those out to?  Hand them out to people you know through any social organization that you are a part of.  There should also be a local chapter for business women in your city where you can network.  Another way to pick up business is through word of mouth.  Something you could try is offering a discount or another incentive to your current clients if they refer someone to you.

Find out what services are offered through your local agencies (state, federal, local, religious, private) and see if you can volunteer as a helper at some level.  This will both give you a network of contacts within the community as well as an idea what services aren't provided in your area.\nIf the service you want to provide ISN'T anywhere near you, then try contacting a remote location by phone or email and see what they went through to set their business up.  Typically these organizations are more than happy to talk about how to provide help to others...it's what they do!

A few ideas: \n\n1) Flyers & Business Cards - Who are your customers & where do they shop (e.g. grocery, home improvement stores, etc)? Post flyers where your customers frequent.\n\n2) Advertise Locally -- Newspapers, Craigslist, Yahoo! Local\n\n3) Word of Mouth -- Offer a great service & people will talk.\n\n4) Mailers -- Send out coupons, specials, etc.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Setup up a network where all your electronic equipments are connected to one central hub. It is kind of tough, but it sure will be one hell of a project.

I have found that joining a business networking group has greatly increased my exposure.  You can do a google or yahoo search and find a group in you area.

Start with the type of information you will be selling. Is it for stay at home moms? Is it for business people? Focus in on your ultimate target market. \n\nThen take a look at the type of products you will be selling. Will you be selling reports or newsletters? Or will you be creating ebooks or training manuals? \n\nThen focus in on the type of industry you will be selling your information products to. \n\nUse your answers from each of these questions to start building names for your business. A domain name should say what your business does as well as identify who you are. \n\nYou may also want to try this with family/friends. I've named several businesses, and some of our best names have come from a brain storming session over dinner and a bottle of wine. If you have several people working together, you can feed off of each idea, and come up with something worth keeping.

Try putting together a detailed (try to be brief) flier or brochure, can even be one page. Put them up around town, also drop by some of your local clubs you might think would benefit from your space and give them the info. Networking in your local area can be a great resource. A small newspaper ad, flyer at your church/temple might get th word out as well. Last but not least, have an open house some day, just a 2 hour event, invite local businesses, civic clubs, church groups to attend, serve a punch or coffee and tea and let them know about your available space.
