Small Business Promotion

[Calibretto]

hey, me and a friend are starting an in-home small business kinda thing. Do you guys know of anyway to promote our business and website for free. We already listed it on Google Local.

you have already got a website???

 

[Calibretto]

ya we do. It's www.ct-customs.com but the domain is down right now. I have to fix the nameservers. You can view our temp. website at www.freewebs.com/ctcomputers

locally, www.recycler.com & www.craigslist.com works wonders.

to promote your site, first must be finished and then you have to add your site in the most important search like google, yahoo and dmoz

A more common advertising technique for business's is to advertise in the forum signature

I was thinking of opening a business very similar to yours, except just offering services. Have you made any customers yet?

Heres a bit of critique: I think that your site should be a bit more attractive, also your name is not very original and neither is the logo. In addition your prices are very good, but actually thats a bad thing. Once your business is up and running it is VERY VERY hard to increase prices and still keep customers. I built a computer for my friend's dad and I charged him $100 dollars, which he thought was very reasonable considering his alternative builder was charging 400 dollars.

yea try to finish up the page first. then search engines. then if you can, try to affiliate with other partners if you can.

try to make your page a little more professional and not eye candy..

P11: I have had customers. I built a few computers for some friends.

and also I thought that it would be pointless to advetise here. heh.
