Have you ever heard line from movie: "Build it and they will come"? Well, this might not hold true for a website, but I do believe it is true for "The Relationship".

When working an online business, you must start and build a solid relationship of trust and respect with others. This will establish you as a knowledgeable and accessible professional, which in turn will benefit your business greatly!

This can be done in several effective ways.

Ad Swaps - Contact as many publishers as you can and invite them to do an ad swap. This is a great way to meet your associates, make new friends and expand your networking circle. http://www.oneworldbiz.net/ezineadswap.html http://www.bizpromo.com/ezinetrades.htm

Link Exchanges - Similar to ad swaps. Invite other webmasters to exchange website links. This can be a great way to make new contacts. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LinkTogether http://www.iwr.com/free/reciprocal.htm

Message Boards - Take some time to visit a few boards regularly and get your name and business known. Follow rules and do not flame or spam! http://zineadz.com/forum/ http://homebizlink.com/wwwboard/ http://www.mcpromotions.com/webbbs/webbbs_config.pl?#156
