i have seen this happening on flights when your co passenger will open a conversation with you and then the conversation leads to finding out what each of us is into .

this is followed by an exchange of business cards and then it leads to contacting each other with some sourcing or business proposals.

i have had this experience once on flight . however, nothing useful came out of the long chat and it was just an exchange of a courtesy email saying " nice talking to you on board" and 'wish you success in your future '.

I've made contacts whilst travelling throughout Australia on holidays and sold phones through my telecommunications business.

Never whilst travelling overseas though.

Hi,

There are two aspects to website publicity. Broadly:
1: Paid Marketing
2: Free Marketing

Paid marketing involves the activities of posting your ads on targeted websites and paying them a handsome amount in return.

Free publicity includes promoting your website for free. That is one of the most famous FAQ.

Its simple. Utilize your resources before spending on acquisition of new users.

Step 1: Start your blog, start posting on forums, start writing on forums that you enjoy the most, help people. In return add your signature at the bottom of every post. This will draw more traffic to your website.

Step 2: Send a weekly mailer to all you contacts (personal) keeping them informed about any updates on the website. The open count of mailers coming from a known indivisual is around 80%. So lets say you have 100 personal contacts. On an average you will have around 80 visitors coming to your website everyday. That makes it around 400 visitors per month. How much did it cost? Nothing.

Step 3: Don't be shy to ask for favors. In all your emails add a line saying "Please help us reach people. Refer this site to your friends". Not necessarily it will work 100%, but even if it gets 2% click thru, it will trigger off a viral.

Step 4: Add a link to your website in your email signature. This will help you get more traffic.

Step 5: Sign up for link exchange programs. It may not be very helpful, but it certainly will improve your listing

Does everyone one find that it is worth the extra money paying for business/first class tickets due to the increased possibility of meeting a potential business partner?
