Site Promotion. Looking for REAL PEOPLE!

When I initially discovered (stumbled across) FFA links the concept sounded great. Get 1,000's of links, and hits, free! This was just what was needed to promote my Bizpep Online site and conserve the dwindling budget. The product (online software for business support) is innovative and value adding. With 1,000's of links soon the rest of the world would agree.

In hindsight ignoring the statement "we recommend you use a free email service for responses from your FFA posting" was not a good idea. From my perspective if people were interested in Bizpep Online services then they deserved my main email address. With that thought in mind the Bizpep spiel and email address were dispatched to 1000's of welcoming links most of who forwarded them to 1,000's of other welcoming links. At this stage I knew little about free auto responders. I was about to learn.

The result was a barrage of responses! Unfortunately they were all trying to sell their product, which appeared to be 27,000 MLM systems. Or was it 1 MLM system being sold by 27,000 different people? Most responses were automated and I doubt if any real people actually saw the Bizpep link or add. My dream of providing a value-adding service to an eagerly awaiting world became a momentary nightmare.

Upon review I realized I had learnt a couple of things and took actions to apply my newly acquired knowledge:

  1. There are a lot of people seeking a fortune on the web but most of them are promoting the same or similar products.
  2. Considering this I have established a simple referral system for Bizpep's unique service.
  3. I know a lot more about email auto responders and actually use them to provide ease of access to requested information.

So now I am a little wiser, have established a referral system that will increase Bizpep Online exposure (the initial goal) and improved customer service with auto responders. Given time maybe I will get 1,000's of real links and 1,000's of real people.
