Tips for Better Business Cards

Don’t Do It At Home
For what you spend on blank microperf cards and the time to get it right, you could pay to have them look professional instead of home baked.

Get your Own Logo
No logo at all looks better than a logo from a clip art book. Same with cards with bars of color or circles. Your card should be you, not something from a can.

Put YOU in the Middle
Your name is the most important part of the card put it in the middle and big enough to see without granny glasses.

Throw ‘em Away When ANYTHING Changes
Don’t be a cheapskate. Spend the bucks for new cards rather than penciling in corrections. Be professional.

Keep it Simple
One phone number and one eMail is enough. Be sure to put your website on the card, too.
Some cards work great without a street address. Do you need it on your card? Why?

Use Both Sides
The back of the card can be used to reinforce your selling proposition. Think of your card as a little newspaper ad. Use both sides.

Stick with White
White, glossy, shiny cards say “Business”. Pastels and swirls say “Avon Lady”.

Never Leave Home Without One
Always carry a supply of cards. You never know. And keep them handy in a ready pocket, not tucked away at the bottom of a bag, so you can present one with a flourish on demand. Keep a backup stack in the car.

Present It With A FLAIR
Practice offering your card with BOTH hands. It makes a BIG impact. You goal is to get people to remember you and save your card. Do that by using both hands.

Very Simple Script....

I found this script simple & precise. It’s very simple, all you have to say is:

“The next time you book a vacation or take a trip, compare my prices. If we are comparable or lower, book through us. If we are higher then book through them.”

Participate in our program in telling others about the benefits and discounts when you have your very own travel sites. If you ate at a great restaurant or saw an excellent movie, wouldn’t you recommend it to your friends. TraVerus Travel rewards you by offering commissions and bonuses for selling travel or refering others.

This too is very simple, all you have to say is:

“Are you planning on taking a trip?

Are you going to book it online?

Would you like to receive a commission?

Would you like to write it off on your taxes?

Great, if I could show you a way to take the same trip, at the same price, earn a commission, and write it off on your taxes, would you be interested?”

How do you generate traffic to your website/blog for the Newbies

I know how hard is gaining traffic to your site could be when you're new in the Internet Business World but there is no need to spend a dime.


1.Forums - Chat with other don't just spam your link everywhere saying click here. I don't know about you guys but I find it pretty Rude when someone joins a message board and start advertising there site with out introducing themselves come on. It only takes a couple of seconds just to say hello.

Try looking for forums that some what relate to your site you can get free advertising when you go to forums that have the same subject. Ask a question or reply to someone Else's question and they will soon identify you as being knowledgeable with the subject.

2. Signature - I've notice alot of members missing out this free tool. Are you kidding me this is free when you set up you're profile on any board usually on the top left there's a part that says signature click on that and put your banners and business links there. Every time you comment on someones thread or open one of your own you're Siggy is always going to show up in the button isn't it great!

Also I use use my signature also in my emails. I have a gmail account but I think is similar to the other servers. There is a part usually in your top Right side that says Mail options or Options click on that and look for Signature click and in that space or block Attach a custom signature to your outgoing messages.

3. Free Affiliate Programs - There hundreds that offer free advertising, traffic and free top search engine position.


4. Blogs - There free why not use them to advertise your business too. Remember to Keep updating your blog so its search engine ranking on Google rises. Since it is hosted on Blogger which belongs to Google this will help. Post to as many related blogs by searching online. Leave your URL everywhere.

When you have your blog already published head on over to http://www.pingomatic.com/ and blast it out all across the internet. Do this everytime you update your blog and anytime that you create a new one. Don't forget to also ping your blog at http://www.pingmyblog.com,%20http//www.pingler.com

5. Link Exchange - This is a sure and proven method. Some say it work some don't. You could also ask for a link exchange by sending them a email. There lots of programs that do this for you if you don't have the time to search and contact the webmasters for a exchange. There free tools if you look around.
I use bloglinker.com were other link to you but they need to open a free account with them. Exchanging links also boosts your probability of getting a high ranking in search engine results.

6. Submit your website for free -Try also to submit your blog to 300 search engines and also socialmarker.com (it will submit your blog to more than 160 social bookmarking site available- free of charge)

7. Write and Submit Articles - There are thousands of ezines and online directories on the internet which contribute free space for articles to be submitted. If you want to save costs, you can do the articles yourself it only takes less than 30 minutes for a short article. Write something that you have expertise on. Write articles that produce tips and guidelines of the subject your site has. Don't forget to Include a resource box at the end of your article that can link them to your website.

The "thing" is building relationships with people. People join people NOT companies.

8. Brand YOU INC. and show people you have valuable information to share with them you will have succeeded in earning trust and establishing yourself as a knowledgeable leader. That is the goal here: Attraction marketing.


There are absolutely loads of ways you can generate traffic to your website or blog, just use your imagination and make sure you allocate some time everyday to building incoming links you will be surprised how quickly your traffic will increase.

Using Forums To Get Traffic...

Using online forums is a good way to learn more about internet
marketing and to generate some long term, very targeted traffic.

There different forums that you could be a member but if you are looking for very niche specific forums where you may be able to connect with people of similar interests outside internet marketing go to google, yahoo or any search engine and type what you're looking for.
Example: Moms Forums, Business Opportunities Forums, Tech Forum, Travel Forum

If you have not participated in any online forums then I recommend
you do so on your daily activity. Consistency is the key here,
and by logging in and answering some other members questions you
will begin to generate clicks to your website.


Forums are great places to expand your knowledge also. It is not all
about getting traffic as you will be picking up a lot of great tips along
the way.

The main purpose of this type of marketing is that you are allowed to
put in a signature file at the end of your comment.

This has multiple benefits,


1. Allows members to click through to your website and see your offer.


2. Builds up incoming links to your website/domain


3. Forum posts are picked up by search engines


4. Build your reputation by helping others.
