Do You own a blog?I think you should create a Blog,and write about your business.Writing Articles will be a good idea also.Do you know what Google loves? Google loves high quality content. It's the truth.

When Google sends out it's search spider (called GOOGLEBOT by the way) it is on the look out for top quality sites with a lot of content and a lot of words on the pages as well.

Put yourself in the shoes of GOOGLEBOT:

What would you prefer?

1. A site with 110 pages with 370 words on each page

2. A site with 15 pages and 48 words on each page

Google will love the first site as it EVALUATES this site as having more to offer the reader. Rock solid content. It can't be simple than that.

Be honest, how many pages does your site have?

Another thing, are they linked from your homepage as well? Google loves natural linking. You've got to make hyperlinks as easy to find as you can.

So the final words?

Increase your content + your text + your links!

Writing Article is not as easy as I thought too~

Website is alternative way, and easier way to promote

as far as I concerned.

Happy day~

Have you considered doing old fashion flyer posting throughout your neighborhood. Placing flyers in public places like bus stops, train stations, lamp post etc...

Hiring a temp service to have them hand out small product brochure to people in a high traffic area that you specify.

If you have the extra cash try advertising through ValPak, they are a direct mailing advertiser.

Have you research about Stuffing envelop?

The only legitimate way to make this thing going is

You attach flyers(from company website) in public,

Some body will take one and send it to company not you

because they want products( Your name with company address)

You will get $5 commission for evey envelop people send.


That's just another idea of internet marekting, If you need more

idea about Affiliate marketing, Just let me know!!


Happy day~^^

Emmagirl i went through this thread line by line because you ask a question that had a lot of helpful replies. Some jump at the hype and think it will be a piece of cake but its not.

When nothing is happening is when it's hardest to keep going. I've done some MLM in the past, and I didn't follow this advice. Wish I had. When nothing is happening is when it is most important to keep going. Keep doing the right things. Keep doing what you know to do. Don't get bogged down watching all the bigwigs and listening to their latest tricks. Do what you know and keep at it. A momentum will start and one day take over. Then try diversifying.

Hey all,

All of the ideas here are great!

Ezine articles and writing is particularly difficult for me because I really don't write to much, but I am capable of doing it.

Keep the ideas going....!! LOL

It's great to be consistent at what you do but when you keep doing the same things and getting the same results it can be frustrating for some who came with a mind set that it will be a piece of cake. As you can see some people don't think they would of to write articles to get traffic to their programs but you have people who don't and get a ton of traffic.

I know this advice my sound overly simple, but it's not about "who you know" (as most people say/think), but about "WHO KNOWS YOU"

So if you're worried about your business not getting the attention you want, do a quick "who knows me" inventory. Make a list of all the people that know you - this means they would answer your phone call or email.

Now, from these people - who knows what you do for business? what your passions are? You may get a lot more attention just by promoting yourself a little more within your circle of contacts.

Somebody always knows somebody who knows somebody.....

One way of getting lasting traffic which i will recommend is for you to look at some of the authority sites in your niche, see if you can get links back from these sites. Go to forums and blogs relating to your niche and make reasonable comments and link back to your site (however you must find the dofollow blogs or the links will be watsed)

Write Articles and put them out there. Have your site in your email signature etc...

Good Luck

These are some great suggestions! Some days I can find all kinds of things to do and others I just sit here and stare at my computer screen wondering what to do next.....work at home is definitely not as easy as people tend to think!!!

I LOVE this pet food and it's the only thing that I will feed my kitty! I would suggest health food stores or even vet's offices.... People that have a REAL interest in their pet's health are your most targeted customers....Hope this helps

I hear ya!!! I love it but it definitely forces me to step out of my comfort zone to move my business forward. I know it will all be worth it though!

There are many ways to tap into a large potential audience. Obviously posting on relevant forums to your business is good, advertising in your local paper or a leaflet drop, checking the search engines to see how many searches a company relevant to your business get's & also it's how many members are signed up, adwords, uploading videos, blogs & article writing etc etc .......

WEBSITE - PRODUCTS - TRAFFIC - MONEY -

I'm involved with a similar pet company. I have a few dog related sites that get traffic and then I direct them towards my replicating site through those sites.

Hi Trina J

There are also many free advertising businesses, who let you promote your business/website FOC ! If you have a creative mind and/or typing skills then, blogging & article work will be of great value to you & will certainly make you a few quid, as long as you keep you content original & interesting !

Articles are hard to start out with, but doable. Don't forget blogs. Blogs detailing your success and failures are great for me. Don't forget it's not all sell, sell, sell. You are the most powerful tool you have and don't forget that.

You might consider using a blog to publish articles, do announcements, or run a contest. The contest or giving away a free report, that has valuable info, works to get people to sign up and capturing their email. To send emails, a good service to use is Aweber. Aweber is reliable and worth the price.

It's crucial that you decide the right business to be in & does it suit your personality.
I have a sort of checklist before embarking upon anything new -

1. Does work at home suit me
2. Do I have knowledge of the products
3. Do I have a passion for the subject
4. What's the marketplace & demand like
5. What is my competition
6. What the quickest route to market chosen products

If I don't reach at least five of the criteria above, then it's a no go.
I guess the first option should be yes, hence the reason why we're all on this forum !

Hi Emma,

It sounds like you're having problems attracting people(customers or distributors) to you.

I'm sure lots of people will agree that personal attraction plays a big part of success in any business.

Unless you offer any real value to someone,they won't join you.

I know this is a bit blunt,but i used to fail big time until i started investing in myself. I'd buy every book and course on personal developement and self branding.

I highly recommend mike dillards magnetic sponsoring. This book seriously changed me and how i went about my business.

Youtube is a great place to get noticed.

Hope this helps.

feel free to contact me if you need anything
