Build It.......(the Relationship) and They WILL Come!
Copyright Terri Seymour

Have you ever heard the line from the 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.

Message Boards - Take some time to visit a few boards
regularly and get your name and business known. Follow

Email Discussion Lists - Similar to the message boards
only the messages come right to your inbox. Help people
and answer questions and offer advice whenever the
opportunity arises. Excellent form of relationship -
building! Again, follow the rules and post accordingly.
