Hello and congratulations on taking the first plunge into entrepreurship!

You've got website and design taken care of. The next step, in my mind, is figuring out keywords relevant to your product/service.

Take a peek at Day 7: SEO Article Writing (http://entrepreneurs.suite101.com/blogs.... and Day 8: More SEO Article Writing (http://entrepreneurs.suite101.com/blogs.... to get started.

Once you've figured out your key words, use them in your 'generic' pages (i.e. about us, intro/welcome page, policies and/or small print) for about a 2-5% density (meaning, they show up in your content 2-5% of the time) - while still making your site sound inviting, useful and not-keyword-stuffed.

Yes, it's hard.

Then, populate your site with content - relevant to your product or service - with free articles from places like EzineArticles.com. Do searches for your keywords and you'll find exactly what you are looking for.

You can either use these articles (with credit, of course) right on your site or as a part of a blog. FYI: WordPress offers open source - meaning, free - use of it's blogging platform on your own server/website.

Then, keep updating the content every couple of days, no matter what. Again, a blog is useful for this, just make sure it's relevant to your potential customers.

Once you've got your content zooming along (I'd give it a month of solid content-boosting tactics), start using promotional techniques to get the word out about your new business, such as:

Free Press Release Distribution

Post Free Classified Ads

Get Free Mailing Lists

Don't forget to keep up with the challenge, as I am still posting things in there regularly to assist you (and others like you) get business rolling without any outlay of cash.

And make sure to keep us posted on your progress!
