Create your own presence on the net



Using the Internet to advertise your product or service is considerably different than traditional sales and promotional techniques. You must stand out in a crowd of millions! To do so requires you to carefully think through your strategy to ensure whatever you place on the Internet is very unique and interesting.

When using the net to advertise, and again contrary to the traditional, you must "give to the net" as well as utilize its capabilities. In other words, your advertising must also provide useful information to the reader. Also note that the major unwritten rule for advertising on the Internet is to NEVER send unsolicited information to specific individuals.

The form of your presence on the net is dependent on your business goals and marketing specifics. In any case, I strongly suggest you learn more about the Internet and see how it might fit into your business.

Okay, you have an Internet provider, your modem is installed, and you've connected to the Internet by dialing up your local access number. Now try the following URL's, all of which should be useful to the small business owner or entrepreneur.
