I dont want to steal Alison's thunder here,

Her post (bellamiller) on the start up thread is a great resource, and the information is great too!!

"
I've just discovered loads of information online via Manchester Central Library:

Could be hlpful if you're starting out.

But has anyone seen what I have seen......

Drill down and you will see that the company that creates them

Bhpinfosolutions INVITES experts to submit similar reports who get a credit and link in the reprot

What an amazing way to promote as an expert.
With huge circulation

Better believe that I am going to get straight on the case!!! and look for missing things in their armoury.

So all you experts out there take alook! - what can YOU add to their knowledgebase, and so to appear in resources like this.

Marketing like that, would be hard to buy at any price.

BHP is a producer of online newsletters for businesses, hence they need regular contributors because their templates need new stuff every month.

Please bear with me but I don't understand what benefit there would be in this for someone like myself who's prime business is selling products and services online.?

newsletters are ten a penny

What makes this special as a marketing resource , is the attached credibility of being promoted by city councils and libraries - that trust factor is worth its weight in gold .....and you cant buy it for love nor money.

credibility is one of the biggest hurdles in any copy...

imagine if your website could say....indizine...smalll business web advisor to leeds council, manchester council....that is the kind of implied credibility that transfers from being promoted this way

Get to it indi!!!! write the "10 biggest mistakes you can make in creating your first business website" and see if BHP will include it for you.

Absolutely no value at all.

But you could get serious exposure as an SEO expert, If that is what you wanted to do.

ANd the beauty of that is....what all newcomers do is they all get blinkered vision that SEO is the only key to traffic!,
so Ive no doubt that your SEO articles would get read.... and if you offered to answer one support email from any reader free that registers on your website... there is the list to sell SEO information products and service too

oh I dont doubt its value, I was just saying what BHP are about and why they need the info. There always has to be something in it for the contributors, usually.
