Online marketing

I just signed on to sell a 4.9 cent a minute long distance service. Can
anyone give me some tips on how to market the service online? I am looking
for a good banner exchange program to sign up with, plus any other ideas. I
refuse to do spam mail however. I can't stand them so I don't want to be
one.

Thanks,
Frederick

Fred, you are an entrepreneur at heart! You've posted four or five times
with different business concepts over the past few months (in this group and
the others).

How about working backwards. What do you want to get out of a business and
what resources do you have to put into a business? What kinds of things do
you like to do? Is there an idea you've had for a long time that you want to
start, but are afraid that the idea isn't good enough or that you don't have
the resources?

Maybe we can brainstorm towards finding something that's a good fit for you,
so that you can focus on building a business rather then putting so much
time into finding one.

Just a thought.

Mike

Well, actually I am a professional Photographer. I own a commercial
photography company that has been in business in Western New York since
1972. However My wife heard from a friend of hers in Avon that there was
this long distance company that was a great company to sell for. Since it
was free we decided to try it. Now we are just looking for ways to get that
off the ground.

This is not a get rich quick thing, just something to bring in extra money
and help supliment the photography.

Thanks,

Hmmm. I have a client in Italy and I use a phone card to call him. I pay
...03/minute, but it may be that state to state calling is more expensive than
international, I don't know.

My thought about phone cards is that they are penny anti. A few cents here,
a dollar or two there. You'd have to sell gazilions of the damn things to
make any money. Also, be careful about getting sucked into some network
marketing mess.

Go to http://www.ftc.gov and click search. Then search for Phone Cards and
see what they have to say. Then search for Network Marketing and read up on
that. There are a lot of scams out there.

The trick to any business is creating a system and managing the system, as
opposed to being the system yourself. Have you taken any steps towards
creating systems in your business that, for example, other people can run
instead of you?

Fredrick,

Just a quick note. I went to buy an international phone card today, to call
my customer out in Italy, so I took a look at what it costs to get a phone
card to call somebody here in the U.S. The cost is 1.9 cents/minute with no
connect charges. ( http://www.crowntelecom.com/MCI_Long_Distance.htm )

Other than the fact that I have been buying cards from this place for a year
or so, I don't have any relationship with their business. However, if you
want to sell phone cards, you might consider using these guys as a supplier,
or looking for somebody else from whom to buy your cards. That 4.9/minute
looks kind of steep.

Another thought on my mind is that people pay a lot of money for these
coast-to-coast cell phone calling plans. You may be able to offer these
people a cheaper alternative by telling them to change to a local calling
plan and then use your phone cards to call out of state. Just a thought.

Mike
