Cold calling should work anywhere. Its much harder for a business to say no to a real person than to just close out of the email. When your speaking with them you have the ability to tell exactly what you are going to do for them. Don't give them an option; tell them how much more money they can...

Another option, since you are new, is to offer the services for cheap (or free) to family, friends, family friends, etc. Once you do some work for them you 1) have the beginnings of a portfolio, and 2) have the ability to ask for referrals. Then all you have to do is live up to your reputation...

Shhhhh, don't let everyone in on our secret ;)

I'd have to look that up myself TBH. If your using one pen name though, I'd put all your products on one site (you can still have seperate sites for each of the products as well) to take advantage of the authorship.

Your honestly probably best off going through the yellowpages (err, google?) and cold-calling a bunch of local businesses. Aim for the service based ones that charge a lot; ex: doctors, lawyers, dentists, massage therapists, etc. You have to be persistant for it to work, but most of these people...

Goodluck, I'll be following!

They are basically making sure your not sending spam or using other peoples lists. ISP stands for Internet Service Provider, and inboxing means your mails going through. So you can say your ISPs are Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, etc. and yes your mail is making it through.

I would definately do it as a writer. It increases confidence in the product when they see your face in the listing; you look like more of an expert. Do it all under one name.

Either way should be fine, technically. Personally however, I'd place it later in the content because having the link so high increases your bounce rate, which does affect SEO.

I]d just be honest. Most of those questions depend on the person and the offer they are running and won't affect whether or not they will accept you. The things they really want to make sure of is that 1) your going to send them enough traffic to be worthwhile to add to their network and 2) that...

I hadn't seen this. Awesome, thanks!

Thanks nonin, I think respect is what its really all about. Good examples too! I'd love to hear your thoughts on Pat Flynn (I've only heard good things), could you PM me?

It depends on what you're trying to acheive. You can outsource everything and get cheap spun content that is hardly readable and won't make people want to read it, or you can write everything yourself (which will take longer) but will make people want to stay on your site because the quality is...

Thanks BHA, I've gotten quite a bit out of watching Ruck as well! ANyone else?
