Visitrepparttar JFAX site and followrepparttar 106075 simple instructions to activate your new phone/fax number and to downloadrepparttar 106076 JFAX software (free of charge). I have a London number with JFAX, and I have foundrepparttar 106077 service foolproof and efficient. I have also foundrepparttar 106078 company’s after-sales service to be first-class.

Step 3: A Permanent Postal Address:

Finally, you need to set up a postal address where all your essential mail can be sent to and from where it can be forwarded on to you. One way to do this is to get a P.O. box address. Inrepparttar 106079 United States, this can cost as little as $100 per year, less than $10 per month. Go torepparttar 106080 post office complete with a photo ID and complete a form. Once you pay three months in advance, plus a deposit forrepparttar 106081 keys, you’re in business. In Europe, I’ve found P.O. boxes cost considerably more thanrepparttar 106082 U.S. equivalent. There, using privately operated accommodation addresses is a cheaper way to go. You can find accommodation-address operators inrepparttar 106083 Yellow Pages or your local equivalent under “Office Services” or “Secretarial Services.”

Once your account is up and running, have all your mail sent to this address—bank statements, personal correspondence, subscriptions, deliveries—and haverepparttar 106084 PO box or accommodation address operator forwardrepparttar 106085 items (as they arrive or however frequently you desire) to wherever you want them to be. You’ll have to pay postage for forwarding, which will depend onrepparttar 106086 volume of mail.

Using a permanent postal address means you have to inform onlyrepparttar 106087 operator when you move from one location to another—preferable to having to tell all your correspondents.

Putting It To The Test: Once you’ve completed these three steps, you’ll have a fully operational, portable, personal and/or business communications structure for less than $50 per month. I’ve been using and testing this structure forrepparttar 106088 last six months. Inrepparttar 106089 course of my work, I’ve traveled up and downrepparttar 106090 United Kingdom, into France several times, and recently to Spain and Portugal. Wherever I’ve been, my messages have proven instantly retrievable. I haven’t missed a call. I’ve received all my faxes and email. And my postal communications have proved easy to manage despite my sometimes-constant changes of location.

Continue writing articles. Write one a month, and post them on your Web site. You can also offer them to other Web sites to publish. You do this by joining a few article announcement lists and sending your articles torepparttar lists. To find these lists, go to Yahoo groups (http://groups.yahoo.com ) and search for "article announce". Ezine publishers and Web sites owners will pick up your articles. Suddenly, you're Google-cred goes up.

Note, that I said "information rich" articles. Some small business owners write puff pieces about themselves and their business, and guess how much credibility this builds? People search for information online, so your articles must contain useful information.

You won't suddenly get a dozen new clients directly from your online articles. You get them indirectly. For example, when someone I don't know sends me an e-mail message and I'm interested in what they say,repparttar 106074 first thing I do is Google them. In five seconds, I know whether I want to pursuerepparttar 106075 relationship or not.

If you're sending out direct mail letters introducing yourself and your services, you can bet that those prospects who are interested in what you have to offer will Google you. If you're revealed as knowledgeable in your field, you're suddenly credible.

So go ahead, use Google.com to your promotional advantage. It's a powerful tool to build credibility for your business.
