Online Services:

At this time there are five main commercial online services. However, the list is bound to grow in the near future. Keep your eyes and ears open as any entrepreneur should!

America Online is considered to be one of the most user-friendly online services in the world of Cyberspace. Very graphical and a great place to start. Good libraries and a great classified section that's free.

Compuserve is the business person's online service. Well organized and quite powerful. Forums organized by topic offer a great place to promote your business.

Prodigy bills itself as the family service. A new interface and new ownership promises big changes. Great for marketing consumer, general-interest items.

AT&T Business Link is actually their second foray into the online service business. This time they have scrapped their interface and put everything on the web. Great resources!

The Microsoft Network is trying to become another AOL. Will they succeed?

Top Search Engines:

Basic Internet Promotion

It is estimated that 90% to 95% of your Search Engine hits or visits will come from the "Top  Search Engines!".. So make them count! Do these submissions yourself if you have the time and patience to read the basic requirements of each of the Search Engine sites.
This list provides you with the URL that directly links to the "Add URL".. page so that you do not lose valuable time trying to find the right place to make your URL submission. This alone should save you 15 minutes at each site! A short description is included to make the process just that much easier and painless!

1. Yahoo

Hard. First you must go to the section in which you think your web site should be added. Press the ADD URL button at the top of the page and they will start to walk you through a long registration process, several web pages worth, calling for keywords, description and lots of contact info.
You want the best you must work hard for it. Entire process can take upwards of 30 minutes.
 
2. Excite

Simple. Enter URL and email and press send.
The following is from their current page: "Excite is in the process of developing new tools to assist you in adding and looking up your URLs in our index. We welcome your URL submissions at this time, but please be aware that they currently take roughly 2 weeks to be added to our index. We apologize for any inconvenience. We will of course continue to locate and update URLs on our own on a weekly basis as usual."
 
3. Magellan

Simple. Enter URL and send.
This comes from their current page:"Please accept our apologies, but since we are currently in the midst of an "editorial transition", we are not adding new reviews or updating your current editorial ranking within the Magellan or Excite directories.
 
4. WebCrawler

Simple. Enter URL and press Add URL.
This additional information is from their page: "WebCrawler's robot spider visits submitted URLs every day. However, the URLs in our database that it visits may not be included in the WebCrawler index for up to two weeks.
You can use our URL Status form to see if a URL you submitted or know about is in our database and, if so, find out when it was last visited."
The URL Status form is located at: http://webcrawler.com/Help/GetListed/Status.html
 
5. AltaVista Search Engine

Simple. Enter URL and press Submit URL. They strongly suggest the use of meta tags and just as strongly discourage multiple submissions.
 
6. CNET, Search.Com

Difficult. Much like Yahoo, you must first link to your area of interest and then hit the Add URL button along the left side of the page near the bottom.
 
7. Infoseek

Simple. Enter URL and press Add/Update URL. It is instantly listed. Only that URL indexed. Entire site would need to be entered one page at a time.
 
8. HotBot

Simple. Enter URL and email and address and press Send.
This information is taken from their page: HotBot updates its entire Web index every two weeks. If any other indexed page links to your page, HotBot will automatically find and index your page.
You may also ask HotBot to add a page to its index. Just type in the URL and your email address in the forms below.
URL submission guidelines:
Please submit each individual URL once only. Please limit the submissions from a single domain to 50 URLs in a 24-hour period. URLs will be indexed within 48 hours.
 
9. Four11 Directory Services

Registers Your email address. Could not find reference to their acceptance of business listings of web site URL's.
 
10. MetaCrawler

This site has no add feature. This is taken from their page:
"MetaCrawler is a metasearch engine. This means that it has no local database; it operates entirely by querying other search engines.
In order for your site to appear in search output, it must be indexed by one or more of the underlying search engines. go2net cannot add, delete, change, or otherwise influence the presence or absence of URLs in those engines."
 
11. Lycos Search Engine

Simple. Enter URL and email address then press Add site to Lycos.
Don't bother registering every page in your site individually. The Lycos spiders will automatically register all additional screens shortly after your home page.
Your site will be spidered immediately. However, it will not be immediately available as it generally takes about 2-4 weeks to be listed with Lycos.
Do not register a URL with any of these symbols: equals sign (=), dollar sign ($) or question mark (?). Their robot is symbol-intolerant.
 
12. WhoWhere.Com Add My Company

Fairly simple registration. They provide you with a long list of items they want to know but only these items are required: Company name, Email address, City and Country. List your URL if you like.

Mailing Lists (List Servers):

Another Tip:

This tip involves online and offline chain letters. While I am not suggesting that you participate in them, I am saying you can profit from them! How?

What's the common denominator of all the chain letters you or I have ever seen?

They all contain at least 5 names and addresses of people looking for a new business ventures!

Here's what you can do. You can compiled a list of about 500 names and addresses from chain letters that people had sent you. Then you turn around and sent them all a salesletter/email for your program.

You have to understand something about these people who participate in chain letters.

They're just starting to investigate money-making business ventures and are normally very responsive to any money-making business offer they come across. At least for awhile anyway. They are 'virgin' business ventuer-seekers who are sincerely looking for a way to make some extra money.

If you're quick and you get to them before they're bombarded with other offers, you can probably interest them in your program!

Give it a try. Start collecting all the chain letters you get in the mail/email and keep your eye out for them in the newsgroups and various places on the net. Once you're up to a few hundreds names and addresses, send them all your salesletter. I bet you receive at least a 25% response!
