      <title>So you want to start a business</title>
      <link>http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/thread.jspa?threadID=27705</link>
      <description>I would like to some general knoledge and experience.  first of all  Find or build a legitimate &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
website that offers a product  or services that people really want or need (do your homework).  Then make sure your product or service is competitively priced (do your homework).  Then create exposure for your website the internet. There are a number of ways to achieve this - traffic exchanges, pay-per-click, forums like this one, word of mouth, social websites... (Do your homework).  You see, home-based businesses are just like any other business - they require lots of work, there are no free rides.</description>

      <title>Does SEO Really Work For The Long-Term?</title>
      <link>http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/thread.jspa?threadID=27324</link>
      <description>I started using SEO a couple of months ago, for my business.  It seems to be working great for me.  My sales have increased a great deal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Does SEO really work for the long-term?   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

      <title>We found a new way to advertise</title>
      <link>http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/thread.jspa?threadID=27892</link>
      <description>Hi all,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just wanted to pass the word about inboxadvertising.com to my fellow biz owners.  They were recomended to us by our neighbor (a restaurant) to try.  We did and we really like the service.  What they do is email marketing to specific zip codes.  Not sure if this is an original idea, but we had never heard of it before.  There pitch is that many, if not most, of your customers are local and therefore you should advertise directly to them via email.  You use their email lists (if you don't have one), they design and send your email to thousands of folks in any zip you want and report the results.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
btw - this is NOT a shameless plug for www.inboxadvertising.com.  Our company is Blue Monday Studio (www.bluemondaystudio.com)...now THAT was a shameless plug!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, check them out.  It worked for us.</description>
