Over the last couple of weeks I've been googling on topics such as "business cards", "unique business cards", "show off" etc and just getting an idea of what the market is like and looking for good marketing ideas. As I go down these rabbit trails there are occassions where site visitors can add a coment, like you can on this blog, so I took 30 seconds on a few sites and wrote a short comment about showoffcards.com on sites where I believed that my site and content would be relevant to those readers.
Here is where it gets really neat andfollow closely because this is kind of like the Kevin Bacon six degrees of separation. Thanks to my brother's referral I had recently signed up for a weekly e-zine by Jeffrey Gitomer (see my link section) on sales tips and techniques. On August second the E-zine was issued and there was a guest article in there by author Scott Ginsberg (see my link section) entitled "How to Make Your Business Cards Unforgettable". Readers who received the Gitomer e-zine followed the link to the business card article on the Ginsberg site. And at the end of that article was my mention about ShowOffCards.com.
Within minutes of the E-zine distribution I not only had lots of visitors to ShowOffCards.com but I had people signing up and ordering Show Off Cards from Virginia, Texas, California (and I'm still waiting on the guy from Australia - you know who you are).
