I am very happy to report that I was able to acquire two members who signed up with me for MyWorldPlus! I really am enjoying this business because it’s giving me a great chance to connect with other people online. I never realized that potential that was there to develop real relationships and helping bond online. I have to say that when I joined MyWorldPlus I was so gung ho and ready to go…I *knew* I’d get a million people to sign up right away. A couple of days later I got pretty discouraged. I was having people sign up to tour the website, but no *bites*. Then, after having developed relationships, I signed up my two members! I’ve come to some realizations through this process.
There are some things to consider when promoting your online business. Do a google search for “work at home” or any variation of that title. There are something like 1,840,000,000 results that come up. The problem with promoting a business online?? EVERYONE else is trying to promote their business. There really has been a surge in work at home businesses lately, and it’s hard to sift through and find the right one. It’s also hard to promote it once you’ve found it.
That’s where developing those online relationships will really help you out. For example; Joe has a business selling a new vitamin and Sally has a business selling makeup. Sally is quick at answering your questions and is very friendly. She doesn’t just push her product, she takes an effort to get to know you and allows you to get to know her. Joe isn’t very good at getting back to you and is very pushy. He doesn’t seem interested in you, only your sale. Which person are you more likely to sign up with?
So remember, whether you’re looking to start a business or you’re trying to promote your business you must develop those relationships. If you learn anything while you’re advertising, know that:
So the best place I’ve found to promote your online business? Online forums such as WAHM and community based sites such as Cafemom. Get out there and have fun!

I agree, it is vital to build relationships with people. While big internet marketers can earn with an impersonal approach, it is mainly due to extremely high numbers of traffic. For smaller “businesses” like you and me, quality of traffic is more important.

Definitely! The bigger businesses are able to spend so much money on advertising. For those just starting out or who are smaller in size it is so important to build those relationships.
