I want to give you a quick tip to help get your blog off the ground. This is so simple yet almost never done. 
Why not? Because it is a bit different than online marketers see as the norm.

What is it you say? What is one of the first things offline companies get? You see I have set up 2 offline companies in the past few years that have been very successful. So I know that one of the first things you get is business cards. You get these before you run out and get desks, office space etc.
Why? Because word of mouth advertising that a business card gives is valuable. Online marketers / bloggers don’t do this very often. Now with technology business card are cheap so don’t waste anymore time.
Get free business cards to promote your blog. Sounds easy doesn’t it? Well I believe you can add more visitors to your site this way than any other way. Have a goal to give away 10 business cards a day, and you better believe that most of those will come. They come because they are interested. If you get half of these to come this will translate to 150 new visitors a month to your site. 1850 visitors a year! Many of these will come back many times resulting in thousands of daily views.
When people find out that I make more money on the net then they do working 40 hours a week, they are interested. Imagine handing them a card so they remember. When they get home and empty their pocket, they will visit your site.
This tip is invaluable. If you want to drive your site to success, do it 1 business card at a time.

Valuable advice! I’ve ordered some cards and plan to drop them at restaurants (fish bowls), doctor’s offices, etc. One of the things I’ve thought of is running a local niche site and using an offline marketing strategy such as this to drive traffic. This could also lead to more traditional advertising.
I have business cards for all my websites, this helps spread the word about my website and more importantly refreshes peoples minds about my service.
Many Thanks
interesting tip.
Thanks for the tip!
The link for free business cards isn’t working though.
The link is fixed. Thank you Sass!
Excellent advice. Already made up the business cards and then found out I didn’t anything to print them on.
You all know what I am buying next LOL
I’ll try that. Thanks so much. =) BTW, I dropped in your EC. =)
It seems like many people forget the basics of marketing and networking. Great article. Traditional marketing still works in a Web 2.0 world.
