We are glad to have you with us. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Well, did you hear that the new AOL MLM has ceased operation? It has and there are a lot of people upset about it. Apparently there was no explanation as to why they shut down. It had only been in operation, what, about a month? Monument Communication, the multi level marketing partner of AOL has said that all will be refunded for their investments That's great, but I would think that a lot of people's dreams and expectation were suddenly dashed. Hey, don't get mad at the messenger, he didn't do it. This is but one reason that I stay away from MLM's and do not allow any MLM advertisements in Business People Weekly. I wonder if this has anything to do with the junk mail slowing down? hhmmmmm?? ******************************** I hope no one got infected with the HAPPY.EXE virus. Normally I would not send a notice out because most of these type reports are hoaxes. However, this one was reported by several people who had been infected. While the virus does not appear to cause any damage to the hard drive, it is a tremendous nuisance. There has been some discussion this week as to giving a warning to subscribers about viruses. Personally, I think I would rather have 6 notices than none and not know about the problem. Now, I'm not saying for every report of a virus, only those that are reasonably confirmed. The reader can then choose to read and heed or disregard as he/she so chooses. I agree with you that it is somewhat irritating to receive multiple messages such as this, but I ask you, how do I know you've been advised? What about the poor guy that is not aware and his computer gets infected? He, in turn, starts infecting others because he does not know. Then he finds he has a virus and now doesn't know where to turn or what to do. Don't we profess to help one another on the net? Not everyone subscribes to all the same lists. Isn't a small aggravation worth it, if, in the long run, we help someone? I think so. ********************************* I'd like to have your feedback on something that is being discussed at various parts of the net. That is; newsletters being written in HTML instead of plain text. Here's your chance to voice you opinion on the subject. I know what my thoughts are but I'll wait and hare them with you after the poll. So, if you favor HTML newsletter the click here Yes_HTML@bizjunction.com If you are not in favor of HTML in newsletters then click here No_HTML@bizjunction.com I for one will be interested in the results. Maybe, I'd have to change my mind :) (grin) ***************************** I would like to see subscriber participation. Tell me what you think of Business People Weekly, good or bad and any suggestions you have to make it better for you.

Pillid=7416&Classapply=Classapply&Random=GenSale& Passid=1326813 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Feature Article "More Ways to Promote your Products on the Web" By Gary Christensen In two previous articles I've written about the "standard" methods of Marketing on the Internet; Getting listed with Search Engines; Using Newsgroups; Using e-mail; Bulletin boards; Word of mouth, etc. Since I keep learning about other avenues of self-promotion on the Web, I thought it was time to give you a few more methods I've discovered in my time & travels on the Internet Super Highway. 1) Site-based message boards. Many sites have message boards, or bulletin boards, at which you can post a message to be read by other visitors to that site. You can't post an actual ad, but, you can post a message in response to a question or a statement by another visitor. In your message you can mention your site or include your latest offer in your signature file! Many other visitors to that site may read and respond to YOUR posting! 2) Referrals in Newsletters. Contact various Web Publishers who issue a Newsletter which might be related to your product or service. Write the editor direct, or send a message to all newsletter Publishers within a Newsletter like "E-zine Publishers News" (chrig98@aol.com) . Find Publishers who are willing to "work out a trade deal" or who are willing to give YOUR Newsletter or Product a "mention" in their next issue! It's one of the most powerful methods of promotion available and if you ask nice and/or offer to do something in return, it can get you a LOT of free publicity in other Newsletters. (View a List of over 600 e-zines at: http://www.site-city.com/members/e-zine-master/ ) 3) Swaping ads with other Publishers. Besides requesting a "mention" in another Newsletter, you could locate Publishers who are willing to trade (swap) ads with you! You place a free ad for them, and they do the same for you, either at a website or within an e-mailed newsletter. (A free list of "Publishers willing to swap ads" from: gach98@aol.com ) 4) Resources in various Articles. We all read the writings of others, posted at various websites, and articles within Newsletters. Occasionally you see a website mentioned in an article; or a writer might mention where you can get a free report, from an autoresponder, or they might list an e-mail address, where you can obtain some other free info. Contact some of those article writers, and suggest they write about YOUR site or mention YOUR e-mail address within their next article! It couldn't hurt to contact them, to inform them of your new product or service; to ask that they consider mentioning it in their next article! 5) Link Exchanges. Your own website might be a good resource for someone else's website! Try to locate other sites that would be a good match for your own. Try to get the owner of THAT site to place a link at THEIR site, directing visitors to YOUR site. Be willing to offer them a link from your site back to theirs. Both of you can share visitors to your sites! Both of you can benefit from links to other (similar) websites! (If you want to know WHO or WHICH sites are already linked to yours, go to: ( http://www.altavista.digital.com ) and this feature will show you every page they have on file that has a link to your website! Go to the main page and type in your URL (in the form: www.abc.com/abz). Alta Vista has the most extensive monitoring of hyperlinks in HTML pages. Within moments it will bring up the results of the sites that are linked to yours. This is a great feature to see how many othe.r sites have actually set up a link to your site. A good way to find "similar sites" to yours is to go to: Infoseek, ( http://www.infoseek.com ) - be patient, as it takes a while to load - and type in some search words (which can be found at your own site). First, see if YOUR OWN site is listed, then click on "similar sites." Go to each and try to contact the webmaster for those sites and see if you can "work together to benefit you both." Good Luck!
