    I have a lot of times in my hands so I decided to start a Profile Back Linking Service. My question is, how do I promote this the most effective way. How do I get the most of amount of targeted people to view my posting to raise my chances of having a good customer base.

    I know about the service section here. Is there any other options where you can get paid decently? Not 4 dollars an hour.

    How would you go about getting the most people to see your service and getting the most customers?

    If you have a website and you looking for a paid service well then id try out google adsense. If not well then submit links to directories, and search engines. Along with submissions to article directories.

    With the service section you would need to get out a couple of free reviews, build a name for yourself then you would be able to start charging a decent price. The key to more customers is a couple say 2 free reviews to DP members with 20+ Itrader, or atleast a discount of some sort.

    As a startup, after you've written all your potential contents and interesting reads for your target audience, you should firstly submit your links to a whole list of directories which run under your niche to instantly gather initial traffic. Next thing is to create self-promotion by helping users answer their problems - probably in forums, other online communities such as the social media to gather followers then it's a good way to continue grabbing their interests.

    Posting here is a good way and you can also post your service on Craigslist and Backpage which can bring you some good business as well.

    Article marketing is your best bet (my opinion).

    Write articles about your services or articles you feel people who would use your services would read and add a small promo with a link to your website. Well written articles of 150 - 500 words (shorter rather than longer) can be used to target specific demographics or locations. Post on AdSense sharing sites and you will earn an income from your competitors' adverts.

    Providing an outstanding service to a few first, and go from there.

    In no time at all you'll have a formidable clientele:

    Word of mouth can also be viral!
