1.Answering email inquiries quickly and efficiently.- I get many emails asking about how to build a business or where to advertise and so on. I answer all these emails within a 24 hour period and I am as helpful as possible. Remember, you were once a newbie also. More often than not, these people will subscribe to your ezine and/or add your link to their site or whatever they can do to help you. I have emailed others with questions and always end up subscribing to the ones who answer in a helpful and timely manner. This shows a lot about a person's character and business practices.

2. Message Boards - Get involved in a few good message boards. You do not have to just post an ad and forget about it. That is one way to get people to ignore you. What you want to do is get involved in the conversations. It doesn't even have to be about business. The point is to become part of the discussion and answer questions whenever you can. Establish yourself as reliable and trustworthy, not a person who spams and runs. This will provide you with many prospects. I have had many people email me regarding posts of mine on message boards.

3. Ezine Ad Swapping - If you publish an ezine this is one of the best business builders available. Find other ezines of similar content and email the publisher asking if they would be interested in doing an ad swap. Tell them a little about your ezine and why you think an ad swap would benefit both of you.

4. Ezine Publishing - Publishing your own ezine is definitely one of the best business builder ideas on the net. Ezine publishing is not as hard as it seems. You update people on your site and business and you also provide resources and information.

5. Building A Good Reputation - It is essential to your business that you present yourself as honest and trustworthy. You must then carry out this presentation and be a person of your word and you must put your customers first. Treat people with respect, the way you would want somebody to treat you. Your attitude and personality will show through and people will respond to you as they see you.

6. Writing and Submitting Articles - Writing articles is a very effective way of getting your business noticed. By writing articles you are sharing your knowledge and experience and this puts stock in your reputation and business.

7. Reading Other Quality Ezines - I have obtained unlimited knowledge and information just be subscribing to and reading other quality ezines. Good ezines contain a wealth of information and resources.
