Hi,

I am new to Daniweb--very impressive and just what I am looking for. I recently decided to form my own business and go out on my own in my field of interest. I bought an Advanced Web Hosting package at Network Solutions. I have been trying to put together a bare bones web page (help! :o ), and now need to make a decision about marketing. At .04c per click I can get into the top ten or something like that (first page of search results), I am not sure what to expect in terms of results, but cannot afford to really go over 3-5 dollars per day.

Network Solutions have gotten me to pay them $27 per month to send my business description and link to my site to "over 100 different search engines." I am not really sure how accurate this is or where I will be in the rankings. I do know that there are not many interventionist out there.

So, as someone who helps others for a living, I am begging for some help here. I need to get the web page up and going and the advertising going. Please advise me about a decent marketing plan that will get me out there.

Thanks

Whit :mrgreen:

You could help us help you by telling something about your business. What exactly do you want to promote?

We don't allow any site specific talk in this particular forum, but a description of your business model would be appropriate. For example, is this an eCommerce site? Is it a forum?

This will help us determine which type of advertising works best. In most cases, a combination of SEO techniques with Google AdWords is appropriate.

Csc Girl...I actually sent YOU a PM asking for your help last week, did you get it?

I help families get addicted or alcoholic loved ones into sobriety or treatment.

Thanks in advance, folks.

Notice my signature - I ignore all questions in PMs. I simply get way too many of them each day. Answering them would occupy completely all of my time and it's simply not conductive to forum growth. Sorry.

...must not impede growth!

I personally read all PM as it is personal message that intend me to read, Whit, if you think I can help you, feel free to send me PM.
