I've owned and operated a lot of internet businesses. I first got started in law school after I lost a little over 20K day trading b/t classes:blink:. I started a simple website, offering a simple online service and because of a couple simple marketing tricks, it literally exploded on me. Traffic went through the roof. I spent over 3K on advertising (and watched every single penny). And I netted over 12K the first month:2guns:. Overloaded with orders, I immediately hired a couple girls still at the undergraduate level. Things leveled out and I kept up a consistent profit. My gift to myself for graduating law school was supposed to be selling the business. But I got an incredible offer from a competitor, before I graduated, and I sold. I could go on and on about how I spent the next 11 months in Jamaica, chillin on the beach, thinking about my next internet business, but you get the idea. Anyway, my last internet business was geared towards college students, scholarships, grants, etc. In short I created a great product/service that potential and existing college students could use. As for the marketing, and seo, you gotta be creative!! I found a mass fax and email list for 95% of all colleges and university administrators, emailed and faxed all of them in 1 shot, paid a reliable group of posting, forum experts to do "things" around the clock (3 eight hr. shifts). Also had a couple of flash videos made and posted to high ranking sites. And there you have it, because the product was great and had a 24/7 helpline, the administrators took the bait. In a matter of days hits thousands of hits were coming from everywhere. In a matter of weeks, the site had almost 100 .edu inbound links. The rest is history. If you or anybody else wants help, I'd be glad to help. just pm me or give me a call 412-589-3027. Later
