    Hey everyone i thought that this would be the best place to talk about starting a business online.

    For a while now i have had a website and wanted to expand it into something well...bigger. I have had this great love for seo and found that there is a huge demand for posting in directories. not only that but thousands of people are starting up forums and need help to build them up. I did some research and found a few companies that were at the top of thier game that were in the industry of directory submission and professional forum posting.

    I want to make a company online that deals with both. One section would be all about forum posting and the other directory submission.

    I am here to ask for your opinion on the subject.

    Do you think that it is worth while?

    what would you look for in a company if your buying a service of directory submission?

    what would you look for in a company if your buying a service of professional forum posting?

    I want this feedback becasue i want to make a site that is worht while for every customer. your opinions do count.

    Please let me know

    Amxcorey

    Thanks

    Your idea is ok.. but what would your price guide be, and how would you set yourself apart easily from the .05c per post forum posters?

    What would your business model be, and your pricing schedule?

    yes you could make money.. I just can determine how profitable it would be for the amount of work it may be.

    There are many DP members doing that at Buy Sell Trade Services (BTS) section
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=60 They have own websites also which you can refer to. As exstatic mentioned, you need to do some survey/ research first because the services you offer is quite common. You have many competitors so you need to set your prices and how to differentiate from the competition.
    Directory submission and forum postings are very competitive niche... and some main criteria that clients look for are : Price, Quality, Reliability, Reputation
    You can also offer your services at BTS and build up your reputation with itrader points.
    Good luck :)

    i want to set up a price chart along with plans after i figure out how i am going to condut the business.

    Of course i will be manually submitting to directories. here is the thing

    as anyone knows these companies that are already started submit to thousands of directories that know they have a good pr and are free. this makes for good profit. obviously. and free without reciprocal. anyway.

    i was searching for a tool that would help me to submit quicker but still with good quality. i have found several tools that will do this and creat a report for me. im looking to find out some tricks of the trade if you know what i men.

    Im starting with directory submision.

    If I were to start an online business, I will not sell anything tangible. With chargebacks aboud, I may loose what profit I may have earned to fraud.
