“It’s good to put your link on your personal web site, my space, or any other place you’d like.

I also spent $20 on an ad with Bravenet to bring visitors to my site or increase the traffic. That helps because you go up on the pages when someone tries to “Google” you.

The best way to promote yourself is to write a nice, short profile, offer free minutes up front for people interested in checking you out, and stay logged in as much as possible. Works for me!”

“I’ve found that if you belong to any forums at all put your link in your signature it will get picked up by Google – not to mention there are potential clients everywhere so spread your name around.”

“You can certainly place an advertisement (for FREE) on Craigslist.

Blogging also helps (it gives readers a closer look into who you are as a person).”

“I found a great way to promote yourself is to get business cards made by yourself or someone else with just your user name, your description and your [LivePerson] URL is a great way.  I put them up everywhere and hand them to everyone that I meet.  My fiancee even took a hand full and placed them in the lunch room of the factory where he works and it has definitely been something that has helped.”

“Oh there are so much ways out there here is few that I have taken:

1: online chat rooms and answers services – like yahoo answers? I browse that sometimes and give some free advice with signing up my URL at [LivePerson] – when the reply is good it attracts other potential clients.

2- put your URL next to your messenger profile that helps potential friends to click and come to pay for your services.

3 – personal signature: its been a while my personal signature on my email contain my URL.

4- seasonal offers that I send not only to my entire mail list but also to most of my clients. I do not do that often but it brings them back to me. It is almost like a new book from a successful author – you come back to their mind and if you gave them a correct read they will say: oh I remember her, in fact I wanted to call her and ask this and this. I did one like this for the new year and it increased my income double on [LivePerson]!!!

5 – fair play – if you’re being fair and talk to them freely with no fear that they will cheat you, run away or don’t even pay you will feel great working with the client and the session will be so much flowing. My motto is this: if the client is not a trusted one then he loses good advice potential, if they lie they get wrong info and if they rate me horrible I usually send them a thank you letter and block them – lol.

6 – personal approach – the ‘copy and paste’ reply looks so annoying and they are – the clients – say it repeatedly. Invest in yourself. Read the questions. Some people out there need help, the others just play. If you read their question you will learn how to set them apart from one another and that will save the trouble from happening.”

“There are a lot of places on line where you can do free press releases and do ads for yourself as well as going to free web hosting and doing a small makeshift site for free that directs people to [LivePerson].”

“…Have you ever considered submitting your [LivePerson] profile in the search engines? Especially for free at Google. This way it can spider web through the different places, be directed towards your profiles (just like a web site) giving the description – as an example: discount price for new clients, etc). 

Like the old saying “great things happen to those who help themselves! Take care – Cariadion ”

I have spent over $600 last year “self-promoting” with a Banner link on 4 various big sites that have a monthly fee attached to advertising. I have a very successful pagan site where I have a psychic reading section and directs them to my [LivePerson] friendly URL. I have a Myspace, Facebook, and Buzznet where I have a banner I made directing to my friendly URL on here. I offer half price to anyone who tells me they came through my Web, myspace, facebook, buzznet etc, and have MANY people come through for that and tell me they did.
