I spent today handing out my business cards that list my blog which has a link to Fifth Avenue Collections Jewelry, which is my home based business.  While passing out my cards, I saw a vendor at Summit City in Milwaukee Wisconsin.  I spoke with the vendor because she was in a high traffic area and I wanted to know how to model/market that same idea of selling as a jewellery vendor.  I was so excited and as I was leaving the building, I bumped into a security guard who was able to give me a business card to the manager for Summit City.  I did call and left a message and I am excited about this new business network prospect.  If I was not actively promoting my busines and blog,  I would not have met the vendor which lead to a manager.  My motto is to promote, promote, promote.  I also know that original content is key to keeping my blog active.  Alot of people don't understand the importance of blogging and how it helps your business and...

The contact shows that you have to get your business and name out to the public for contacts. My business contact was Shontina Gladney.

Today I worked on being able to accept credit card payments through Merchan Warehouse. I have also decided to turn Rich and Rich Home Opportunities into an LLC. An LLC is a limited liability company that gives your business more credibility and professionalism. The other advantage to an LLC is the income tax benefit. An LLC can be classified as a sole proprietor or C corporation, which protects your personal assets from business assets.http://richandrich.posterous.com/business-startupbiz

I am finding that advertising is a little harder than I originally thought.   You really have to stick with your advertising efforts and some of those efforts have to be duplicated montly, such as website submissions.  I am fining however that I get a lot of page views consistently with Posterous and that's why I keep coming back.  Let's face it...if your advertising is not getting you traffic....then why are you using that advertising platform?  I however do love advertising because it's the "wind beneath my wings", or beneath my business growth to be more accurate.  What I have found is that I need to always be original and have unique content, or my advertising will not work.  I want to brand myself and to be recognized as the hard internet marketer that I am.  I get off from work (I am not able to quit my job yet) and I start advertising.  I have a fatal fault and I don't mind calling it fatal.  I don't take a product through the w...
