How to get buzz going for an online business?

How do I get buzz going for an online community so everyone talks about it? it is not a local site. It is a match site, such as match.com or monster.com. We match capital seekers and capital providers, just like job site matching job seekers and job providers, and personal site matching men and women.

How to get buzz going for an online business?
"If you build it, they will come" is not necessarily true on the Web. Putting a website up is one thing, but getting visitors to come to your site is another. The process becomes even more difficult if you have limited resources to market your business.





Here are some marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:





1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.





2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!





3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.





If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/201...





4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. My website (see my profile) accepts free press release submission (no strings attached!)





5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.





For example, if you submit articles on my Getting Financing section of my site http://www.powerhomebiz.com/financing/fi... you will stand a great chance of reaching people who are looking for capital.





The above strategies are very simple to do, but they can bring in loads of traffic without spending too much. Of course, if you have the resources, you can also utilize pay per click strategies or other advertising mechanisms to reach your target audience.
Reply:Best bet is to get the site listed on all the search engines and directories. Here is a cheap one to start with: http://www.kahmer.com
Reply:Post your business card on this site for free. People will click through your site.
Reply:The reality is that the companies who market the best %26amp; the most are usually the ones to enjoy the biggest success - So it is very critical to advertise as much as possible.





While traditional Advertising can be expensive there are many classifieds websites on the Internet where you can advertise for free or cheap. I have used both free %26amp; paid advertising (like Google's Adwords) with some success some were good others were not as effective. A few people in the know also use this NEW secret website called http://efreelist.org - The offer Free classifieds and allow you to post world wide The reason people in the know like this site - http://efreelist.org is because:





1) It is 100% Totally FREE - There is Nothing to Buy, Sign or Join - No options, No upgrades, No Traps No BS - Just 100% Free!





2) They Allow you to post UNLIMITED FREE Ads Nation Wide %26amp; World Wide - No Restrictions.





3) Ads receive an tremendous response World Wide because of their huge traffic.





4) Once verified - The Ads are Instantly Turned on - No waiting period.





5) Even though I advertise one place their Java Script at http://efreelist.org picks it up and simultaneously posts my ad on 200+ different sites around the world - Again NO CHARGE!





6) There is No Annoying Ads or Banners.





7) They Allow me to post up to 4 Free Pictures %26amp; I can edit my Ads at any time.





8) I don't have to go through Registration crap - I hate giving my name %26amp; address etc.....





9) There are No Hidden Agenda's - Just Advertise %26amp; go





10) I NEVER receive any spam BS. - No bugging BS to advertise or to upgrade!





11) And the most important thing for me is there is - There is No BS or Monkey Business...





12) There is No Catch - %26amp; No Bait %26amp; Switch, Nothing to join nothing to buy nothing to sign or other bull crap.





I highly recommend checking into free classifieds of all kinds %26amp; http://efreelist.org - Best of Luck!
Reply:Creating buzz? What get's people excited about something? Generally, it's something that is in some way unusual or unique that will get people talking. What can you do to create this talking point or viral effect in your community? It could be anything but is usually best if it is related to your business of course.





I would suggest you look at the typical aspects of your business and your target community's business and then ask yourself what is the opposite or something that would grab attention? You should think "in the box" and then go outside it.





Many times something extreme grabs attention. An example, jewellers may create the most expensive ring or most ornate item to generate attention and a bakery can make the largest cake/pie or something to that effect. As a community providing match making services for capital sources and seekers what can you do that is largest, smallest, fastest, easiest, most or least in some way?





As mentioned above opposites also attract attention and can be a buzz generator. Take any aspect of your offering or relevant to the activities of people visiting your site and turn it upside down. Ask if you can incorporate it into your services or offering. It doesn't have to be long term, it can be a temporary event just to create the buzz you want.





Competitions can work too. Can you put together a competition that relates to your target community or your operation in some way? Perhaps you can offer to double the capital offered for the most popular capital seeker. Make it American Idol style and make it open to the public to vote. Have voters register with a valid email to restrict abuse. You probably need some other limitations or checks to ensure integrity of the promotion but it would be one way of creating buzz you want. The other thing with having people register with valid emails is you can follow up with some light marketing or keep them on a newsletter list. Don't just consider this, you can consider many different competitions - just whatever you feel will generate attention and get the market talking. If your resources are limited, you can offer to provide services for free or you can find related businesses that would also want to generate awareness with the same market and may be willing to be a sponsor of the promotion.





Just some ideas to help with your thinking.





Getting buzzed? :)

Any decent forums/online communities for my age group?

NO replies regarding "Adult," pornographic or dating sites please.





I'm 37 and myspace.com is geared toward teenagers and 20-year olds -- not my age group. I'm a mom, business owner, homeowner, etc. and interested in things that my age group deals with. I'm happily married so dating and singles websites don't pertain to me. I would just like to meet some platonic online friends who share the same interests.

Any decent forums/online communities for my age group?
It would be helpful if you listed more of your interests. A lot of forums focus towards one activity (but have general forums to chat about other thins as well) such as video game forums or computer forums.


I just found one called "SyberMoms"


http://sybermoms.com/forums/


Maybe you'll meet people you like there?


That's all I've got, but if you don't like SyberMoms, you can go here:

Reply:you know, setting up a 360 on here wouldnt be bad, theres a huge pop of people your age to talk too, or if your more sewious go to google scholar forums, extremely informative and intelligent conversations there too, not like the crud you get here.
Reply:Have you actually tried MySpace?





I originally went on there to connect with my daughter's friends but have found many, many 30s and 40s (and up!) on there. My mom is on there as well now :-)





If you've already checked out MySpace and it wasn't your scene here's two sites that I used to visit regularly:





www.friendster.com


www.tribe.net





Of these two I prefer Tribe. It has a heavy bias toward the West Coast (esp. San Francisco) but I found lots of interesting people here in Atlanta on there as well.





Good luck!

How does poor grammar and syntax effect the Yahoo! questions community?

Here are some questions I found when answering questions today:





(cut and pasted for full effect)





Why was other blogs was friend on my blog but my blog wasn't not????





How can i keep a certain blog "entry" private or allowed only a certain category of friends to read?





Why deleting an email in yahoo list, the next will be opened and i MUST to Mark as Unread every time?





-----


These are horridly constructed sentences. What do these types of sentences tell us about this online community and, the values people place on cogent writing?

How does poor grammar and syntax effect the Yahoo! questions community?
I hate it when people use incorrect grammar on purpose!
Reply:I find the poor grammar and poor spelling,and using instant messaging speak makes some of the questions almost unreadable, therefore, unanswerable !
Reply:It affects we very bdaly.
Reply:I used to be a grammar-freak like yourself. However, when I spoke with an English major friend of mine, he informed me that the rules of grammar and spelling go out the door in chat rooms and for the most part in forums, etc. He said I would have to deal with the fact that I am now a part of the Internet culture where grammar rules are allowed to be relaxed.





Also, people don't have time to proof-read each sentence they write. Then there is all the abbreviations people use (WTF?, ROTLF, etc.).





He also reminded me that the Internet is for everyone. It was not intended for English-only speakers, so we shouldn't be offended when someone misspells a word or word choice isn't perfect.





While there is a place for grammar, its application as a finely applied science will never be within the Yahoo! questions community.
Reply:Me are not to knowingly!
Reply:Here is an example I saw at Yahoo Answers and a response I mailed to my cousins.....





"pretty much yeah you can even get pregnant not have


sex it you both nude and playing around he the pre


sperm comes out it can find it way to you just like if


you were to sex with out so you might want to get a


pregnant test to see but you also have a chance that

trying to get pregnant but has not but it depends i


guess if you are ready i got pregnant with a condom


don't ask i don't know how but the doctor said that he

---


My email to my cousins with the above question shown....





"I laughed my *** off the hardest at the two periods at


the very end. Maybe with today's public school


English classes, they tell the students to just throw


in an extra period if you suspect that you may have


left one off earlier in your paragraph.





I hope I am around to check out the candidates for the


2040 election."

Here is another one:





Q: "What are your opinon on the shoe's Converse?"





My answer was:





"There are important and interesting items in the English language you may want to study up on. They are:





1] verb tense, and





2] possession.





Let me give you some examples to duplicate your question.





a] "Are the zoo a place to see the stripe's Zebra?





b] "Why is Democrats always lack reasoning's sound?





c] "Do you knows this horsepower's car?





d] "I is going to eat this crust's pie.





There are some very nice English grammar handbooks, one of which is "The Scott, Foresman Handbook for Writers, Fourth Edition, by Maxine Hairston and John J. Ruskiewicz.

America has become an ignorant society because the standards we one had have been thrown out. Our school systems are pumping out morons like a factory. Foreign students will have all the jobs in future generations and the USA will degrade to a third world slum.
Reply:I can't answer for the community as a whole, but personally, I tend to ignore these questions as I find them too tiring to decipher. If this behavior is more or less standard practice, we will see a Darwinian tendency for these questions to disappear. The logic is twofold. The individuals formulating these questions will be discouraged from asking further questions as nobody responds, or they will clean up their act and check their questions before submitting.
Reply:Yes, the above passage could certainly be improved but you should also consider that English is not the first language of many people. If you're going to poke fun of the grammar mistakes someone has made, you should really make sure that your own is up to par. (see difference between effect and affect)
Reply:it shows the age group of people who get on here, the ignorance, and the lack of "care"...for lack of a better word. in my personal opinion, if you can't spell/use spell check and write a decent UNDERSTANDABLE sentence then you don't need to be on public forums
Reply:Bad grammar is my worst pet peeve. It's bad enough people can't speak English correctly, why oh why can't they at least edit it once they see it on the screen in front of them? It irritates me so much that I sometimes won't even answer questions that bad. (If I can even decipher them.)
Reply:It's affect, btw.





It makes one feel sad that so many people don't care how stupid they sound when they write like that.
Reply:I think it paints a picture perfect portrait of stupidity amongst the users.














By the way, you're not supposed to put a comma after a conjunction like you did in this sentence:








"These are horridly constructed sentences. What do these types of sentences tell us about this online community and, the values people place on cogent writing?"








And it's AFFECT not EFFECT.

How to spread the word about fibromyalgia social networking community?

My wife has suffered with fibromyalgia for almost two years. We have been to a lot of doctors who have prescribed pains killer, physical therapy, and even a mental health professional. She had become severely depressed. Currently she is under the care of a holistic doctor ( very expensive !! ) and her pain is at least manageable. I know that I can never understand or experience that kind of chronic pain and I see that sometime she feels very alone. With that in mind I have launched an online community for people touched by fibromyalgia to find each other, get connected, and share their experiences - triumphs and pain. The site (http://fibromyalgia.ning.com/) is free to register and use. Please take time to visit and spread the word.





Are there resources I can use to spread the word about the project?

How to spread the word about fibromyalgia social networking community?
There are many fibro support groups on line. I'm not sure how yours is different, but sometimes an online group will let you promote your group on their site. You have to contact the owner of the site %26amp; tell them how your site is different %26amp; how it would be an asset to their members. Good luck. You can find the support groups by going to yahoo groups %26amp; refining your choices through support, diseases, to fibro.
Reply:Gentleman, That's what you are doing right now with your question


Count me among the list of people in spreading the word for better health of the society, crosscheck the reliability, viability, credibility of the options before publishing them.

And by old school I refer to sitting rolling dice and flicking through the rule books as opposed to the computer game versions.

Playing (Oldschool) Dungeons %26amp; Dragons Online?
Actually, D%26amp;D currently supports a lot of this, and will be supporting it even more with the release of 4th Edition next year.





Just go to www.playdnd.com - then click on the D%26amp;D message boards. Once you sign up go to the calendar section - there are some online games going on in there. Plus you can always network with others to play online.





When 4th edition comes out in the spring, Wizards of the Coast have announced that people will be able to play D%26amp;D online easier than ever before. They will create a virtual table top in which the DM can create his own dungeon, players can create their own miniatures, and you can play table top D%26amp;D online. While this may be too "video gamish" for some, it will not be a video game, but instead a way to play the pen and paper version on the computer.





4th edition is going to be so much more, however, and I truly believe it is going to be the best version of D%26amp;D yet. Possibly the best RPG yet (version 3.5 already came close).





Hope you find a game!

Mainstream Media claims the Ron Paul phenomenon is a "fake online campaign."?

I think the Ron Paul community should come together and create a Website showing the individual supporters so they can see for themselves how many we really are!





If they can log on and see real verified American people and their locations, it would shut down their little "attack" campaign.





http://www.infowars.com/articles/us/ron_...





The Rupert Murdoch media in the United States mostly pretends Ron Paul doesn't exist, or simply doesn't matter. As hard a myth that is to maintain, Murdoch is clearly backing Giuliani and Billary and no-one else for the White House in 2008.





It goes on to say:





A candidate for the US presidency is being buoyed by a massive online campaign that may be a fake grassroots movement organised by party staff.





How F-ing rediculous is that?





Is that all they have on this guy, speculations of a trumped up online community!





They have nothin on this guy!





His record speaks for itself!

Mainstream Media claims the Ron Paul phenomenon is a "fake online campaign."?
"First, they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. Then they attack you. Then you win." - Mahatma Gandhi





By the way, Gandhi is Ron Paul's hero.





Let them ignore Ron Paul, until they cannot ignore him anymore. ABC, MSNBC, and CNN have all been surprised by Ron Paul's 5 million dollar fund raising success. Even that smug bastard Stephenopolous had to agree that Ron Paul is a dark horse candidate. Watch and enjoy!

Reply:Wow, the mainstream media actually got something right for once?
Reply:You guys just can't deal with reality can you? Every time someone disagrees with that loon you think everybody is out to get him. The paranoya has to stop. The media are reporting the truth. Try going out in the community and pick people at random and ask if they know about Ron Paul. Don't tell them anything or put thoughts or words in their minds or mouths. Most will say "who"? Some might mistake him for Ru Paul the cross dressing weirdo. He nearly came unglued at the "debate" the other night. If this is someone who we all should support than I am not so sure he should be President. Being President requires being cool especially in public.





Expecting a low level candidate that barely reaches 3% in poll after poll to be put on some pedistal and lauded as though he was the greatest thing since sliced bread is pushing things too far.





The media are into selling ads. People buy ads in papers and broadcast media that people actually listen to or read. Since time and space are limited it stands to reason the media are going to cover only those of real interest and who have a real chance. Some small blurb about the also-rans happens on a slow day but to expect major head lines or constant sound bites from a second or third tier candidate is expecting something that isn't going to happen. People don't want to pay for that.





I will admire the tenacity of the Ron Paul worshipers. They seem to push their candidate on the Internet ad nauseum. It actually ticks off more people than anything else.


What is wrong with people online.?

Maybe its just me but i find the online community consists of a few good people out their to help eachother and have fun and the other 99% that either want to pretend like they are tough and try to get you booted from servers for answering questions Or trying to force their moral objectives on you.





I don't know i am just getting sick of it i remember when you used to beable to play a good game online with other people looking for a good time help people out in forums and it was all cool. Then again that was back before cable was in everyones houses. God i long for those days

What is wrong with people online.?
I know what you mean, annoyed and I feel the same exact way. No longer can you go into a chat room because there are always spammers, haters and obscenity. They do not care what ages are in there and their entire time they spend online is worthless. You are right about the cable! I remember when you had to actually dial up to get online and when you did, your online time was precious because you might have an important call on the other line! Oh, well, we can only hope they will get mature and realize they are making fools of themselves.
Reply:Yeah, the internet was more fun when it was exclusive. Now everyone who doesn't even know how to use a computer is on the internet. I don't know how to fix it.
Reply:What you believe is what you recieve....you amplify your negative result by looking for it. There are many good people out there and many who are making their way..as they mature, experiment and grow! Namaste.

Reply:Ever since I came on line Its been the same thing.


I remember the first person I chatted with, He seemed like a nice person, then after 1 minute of chat, he asked me If i fingered myself.LOL


I was pretty surprised, I didnt know people asked that kind of questions.
Reply:I think the problem is that online people can be anyone they want and hide behind their computer. As more people get online there will be more azzholes.
Reply:Seems to me that these days everyone wants DRAMA....Even online, this used to be a place where you could chat or even vent and everyone else was there to do the same thing, but now you have to be careful what you say even in a chat room....Maybe we need to invent a NO DRAMA chat room and INTERNET....lol Good luck trying to find the answer to this one, if you do let me know, better yet bottle it and make millions! Take care!


Does anyone Remember FireFly (the web community) ?

It was neat- kinda like myspace- with chat and graphics and little 'gatherings' all in an online community- and it just dissappeared... what happened to it? It was years ago... but i always wondered, but i can never find anything on it.

Webhound recommends just World Wide Web pages, but the same basic approach could help people find a variety of communities, products, and services that are likely to match their tastes. For example, Webhound grew out of the Helpful Online Music Recommendation Service (HOMR), which recommends musical artists. A subscriber to this service--recently renamed Firefly-- first rates a few dozen musical groups on a scale from "the best" to "pass the earplugs"; Firefly searches its database for people who have similar tastes, and uses their list of favorites to recommend other artists that might appeal to you. The same technique could recommend Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists, or other information sources. Tell it that you like to read the Usenet group "rec.arts.startrek.info," and it might recommend "alt.tv.babylon-5"--people who like one tend to like the other. While no such tool yet exists for Usenet, the concept would be straightforward to implement.

Reply:The above answer looks great! I wonder how that site would do in the face of MySpace, Friendster, and Yahoo 360?

Does anyone know of an online source for makeup artists to upload your portfolio and make connections?

I am a makeup artist who is looking for an online community of people in the same industry as me, and also a place where I can place my portfolio online, so that people in my industry (models, photographers) can look me up and look up my work. I am just starting out as a makeup artist and need to make connections. Does anyone know a good site like that?

Welcome! I am in the industry too.


Take a look at Lookbook online. This site is the Go To for those in the industry. The actual book is over $100.00 but so worth it.
