I have a business


Question Posted Wednesday May 30 2007, 10:53 pm

I have a business which is www.yourstarstore.com. Now I am really depressed I put all this work into my company and I'm still trying to advertise and I havent got any thing out of it yet. I invest almost 2,000 just for the design of the site alone. Please tell me if you can give me some advice are even if someone can help me.

That is a really nice site. Add <meta name="description" content="descritpion"> and <meta name="keywords" content="keywords,separated,by,commas"> in the <head> section, so that search engines like it more. Also, fill out the form halfway down this page:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

Your PageRank(how important your page is, according to Google) is 0 out of 10. I can raise it to 1 out of 10, just add a link to the bottom of your site leading to theymos.com, with a link text of "enhanced by theymos". Email me when you've done that.

Advertising is the hardest (and most costly) part of any business. I am also running a business (not entirely internet based) and thus far the advertising costs are going to be the most expensive from what I have worked out. Also, during the first 4 or 5 months of the business being up and running I expect to make no actual profit becuase all the money that will come in will go right back into advertising costs.

The best thing to do is have a look at what kind of people you want to attract to the site and then advertise accordingly. Making up leaflets is very cheap if you shop around (online printers are some of the best since they are extremely cheap) and then there is also submitting your site to search engines (most do this for free but there is no guarantee it will be added but for a fee you can guarantee yoursite being added). Banner ads work well too and you could always ask other web site owners (business sites as well as friends who have their own personal sites) if they can put your banner u. Another way to advertise is magazines and newspapersbut this can get costly but the only way to have your business noticed is to ensure your advertising is getting out to the relevant crowd so advertise in magazins and papers that will be directed more the the kind of crowd you're trying to attract.

It's not much but I hope this was some help. Also, depending on how confident you feel in your business another thing you can consider is asking your bank for a loan to help you fund the advertising but this may require the bank manager wanting to see you in person with your business plan so they can ensure they are lending money to someone who's business will succeed and will be able to pay the loan back.
