Yes I have one main site and I have started a MySpace profile to market photo restoration and retouching.
I'm having a tough time knowing how to properly market the site and the profile.
I am very new to marketing things online! Sorry for my newbieness!
At MySpace I started by searching for people who listed their affiliations for networking as models or photographers, but I've had hardly any response. I even set up very cheap packages. Then some people responded and were a bit offended that I sent them info via comment on retouching. I explained myself... but now I am not sure what strategy to take. I designed a very nice custom MySpace profile for the retouching and have direct Paypal buttons to purchase the retouching package as well as a ton of info on my other services.
For my main site... that has a few services that are related to PR (music) and of course the web and retouching stuff. I haven't got any ads going or anything as I am still in the startup phase. Newspaper ads are too much and i am afraid of getting kicked off forums or of being labeled a spammer if I go to forums where I think people might be interested. I posted on Craigslist with no luck as well. My site is a Joomla oriented site and very nice and clean. I can't post the link here though as I am still so new.
