The internet can be an unwelcoming place for those without credit cards. It can seem at times, that a lot of popular hosts and registrars are unwilling to accept any other popular means of payment leaving you out in the cold.I've experienced this time and time again as a high school and now as a college student. Credit card companies simply aren't willing to chance their arms with the ravenous credit threat posed by unemployed students.Enough whinging, I am here to offer hope to those of you out there without plastic. Although my means of acquiring domain names and hosting is not exactly ideal - it is effective if you have a
Well I started out with seven, Free and low cost promotional tips but somehow ended up with ten!Owning your own website you need to promote it within a budget. For many business people and marketers alike we seem to like the low cost or Free promotion avenues.
With this in mind I have put together ten mostly Free ways or places to promote your Internet business.
Tip number one.
The Ryze Network is a Free online network of friends and business
contacts where you can belong to any number of network groups.
I have found that any links you have in your Ryze personal summary
or business page, usually appear in search engines fairly quickly
as Ryze is regarded as a high profile site by most search engines.
This is a free promotion, to get your site noticed.
Tip number two.
The main purpose of Ryze is networking, being able to contact
other Ryze members and adding them to your Friend or contact
list. But to do this in Ryze you need to email them first to get their
permission before adding them to your friends and contacts list. This
can be a nightmare as usually it is almost impossible to find their
email address.
Ryze members can grow their friends list way faster by including
their email address in their personal message on their Free Ryze
networking page. http://www.ryze.com/go/VoIP
Tip number three.
Like Ryze, ICQ provides you with a Free web page where you
can include your personal information, your personal website and
any Opportunities you belong to. ICQ also rates highly in search
engines, so if you provide a link to your ICQ page for search engines
to find and list your page. This also applies to many other online
networks and communities.

Tip number four.
This week I noticed one of my website pages, not the Index page
but one I have promoted has just reappeared again in search results
two days after I updated a page linking to it.
As you will know most links to pages in your site map or most
pages generally use one or two words as the text hyper link. What
I did was to type in the full URL as the hyper link. This is the only
time I have promoted that page in over a couple of month so
I am guessing that some search engines like the full URL as
the hyper link.
Tip number five.
The quickest way to get your site in search engines is to list
your site with Internet Directories that are relevant to your
site and its content. 40% of traffic to most sites is from
search engines, so get yourself listed! Search Estate, a new
search engine that also offer a Free web page to add your
profile and to list your Opportunities.

Tip number seven.

or customers have a need for a product or want to increase their
bank account.
Either way the prospect or
Going Public: How Long Does it Take?The process to go public via initial public offering (IPO) or Direct Public Offering (DPO) follows a prescribed path.

Getting Fired - Facing the Facts - and a Possible SolutionYour boss called you in and said you are difficult to get along with and are causing problems not only for him but for other people in the office. He says you resist direction and don't take criticism well. And he says you're too critical of everybody else. But you really think he's exaggerating. You think the people around you are more of a problem than you are, but on the other hand, your wife or girlfriend says the same thing about you that your boss does. What do you do?Listen to what these people are saying. There's an old saying that if one person tells you that you're a horse, you can ignore it. If two people tell you, you might

Telephone Sales From Traveling Salesmen On Cell PhonesHave you ever sat in the lobby of a hotel and listened to a salesman on his cell phone making calls and setting up appointments for the next day? Sure we all have heard people announcing their arrivals, departures, delays and ETAs, but what about when a salesman is in the lobby of a five star and simply is attempting to close the sale and make an appointment? A little tacky isn’t it? Well it can get worse than that.Recently I was in the lobby and over heard some interesting details of a business deal going down and it involved a competitor of a personal friend who runs a rather large Corporation right now. So, I moved in closer and sat

Tip number eight.
Most web pages promoting affiliated member opportunities
are telling the prospect to join, join, join. Where as most prospects
or customers have a need for a product or want to increase their
bank account.
Either way the prospect or customer is looking at your web page
with a need or want in mind. So really your web page should focus
on answering questions and explaining the benefits the customer
will gain from using your product or from joining your Opportunity
not a heap of hype about how amazingly incredible your product,
or service is. Honesty is the best policy.
All opportunities should combine a quality service along with
a good compensation package.
Tip number nine.
Check out the opposition and see how they are promoting their
product or system. It’s amazing what you can learn from them
on how, why and where they are promoting. If it works for them
it may well work for you too. Many times they have a similar
service but use a different slant or focus for their marketing.
Remember if someone has built a highway through the Internet
Jungle, one that you can benefit from. It is a waste of your time
and effort finding your own way and cutting a new pathway,
especially if this helpful person or company has created a highway,
benchmark or marketing focus that works equally well for your
product or Opportunity. But do not copy their promotional
material as it may be copyrighted. Create your own.
Last but by no means least.
Tip number ten.
Always keep track of your promotions and their results.
May your promotions be very successful.
