Starting Logo Design Business Online on eBay?
I am very interested in setting up a Logo Design business online and working part-time in improve my quality of life. I would set up shop as a sole-trader. Initially using eBay before setting up a my own website, selling my services at a flat rate.
FACTS:
– My current self-employed sales role doesn’t pay well as it should, takes up too much time and energy.
– Although I’ve not worked as a Graphic Designer professionally. I have a natural design talent and hold a communication arts Degree.
– I am familiar with the basics of Self Assessment.
– Have my own Mac with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator
I do not strictly have my heart set on Logo Design, it just seems like the most a logical area of Graphic Design to sell online right now. There are many other things that I am open to such as Menu Design for example. I am open to suggestions.
I would really appreciate some good advice, tips for me at this stage and also …what I should expect. It would be especially, from anyone who has done something similar online (or even via eBay).
All help much appreciated 🙂

Yes…hostmantis.com for a web hosting, godaddy for your domain name or hostmantis. Hostmantis has a great c panel! Then use wordpress easy installation look for softaculous in c panel. WP-ecommerce for selling your artwork. Although, it will take more than a few days to setup the website. I would advertise on Craigslist, and set up the website so people can see the work that you have done. Oh and take pictures of all your work up load it to Facebook page that you create for your website. I just set up my website for e cigs at elitevapers.com, cheap!

What is the best way to market your business online?
I am working with a team to optimize me on google maps and I am going to be on yellowbook but I want to make sure I am spending my money wisely. And I don’t understand fully how to optimize my web page either. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Jere answers:
The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is
to first set up a website and publish its domain name
on major search directories such as Google.com,
Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?…… And
MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these
search directories to provide them with goods and
services. In a sense, these search directories are a
very large Internet Yellow Pages.
Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage
fail to contain “generic” keywords, then anyone using
such “generic” queries will not be able to discover
your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website,
in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.
You may want to consider some simple algorithms which,
when observed and committed in designing of a website
with placement of various critical metatags that can
surely achieve a high search engine presence and
increase Internet traffic to your website. These
metatag strategies work well with published webpages
at Google and Yahoo.
Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based
website, make sure to fill-in the property entries
such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing
to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can
be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the
Internet audience and their incoming setup. For
example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages
take too long to load up and therefore analog users
will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the
Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL
lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So
before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple
question, “Who’s my end user – is he on dialup or
DSL?” And if you had to choose between these two users
for maximum marketability, then select analog users
since 80% of most resident users are still analog
Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages
is best for them.
A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text,
is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit
the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a
graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.
Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots
are unable to properly classify textual material.
Placement of Metatags:
A ranking or search order does take place with Google
and Yahoo and it begins with the “Title” metag which
should consist of no more than 65 characters separated
by commas. The “Title” should describe in generic
terms, the goods and services, followed by a location
from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state.
The placement of a domain name which is not generic
within the “Title” is not appropriate, unless your
domain name is a major recognizable brand name.
The second metatag is the “Description” which is
usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which
best describes one’s goods and services.
And the very last category – “Keywords” are also
somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural
and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries
which could be mistaken as “spamdexed entries” which
is defined as the loading, and submission of
repetitive words into a particular metatag category.
“Spamdexing” when discovered on a webpage and reported
to Google’s spamreport.com can result in the
elimination of your website from their search
directory.
Good luck!
David asks…
How should I go about advertising this hotel?
I’m not doing the advertising directly, but I was asked to collect the e-mail addresses of businesses (very vague, but I was told any business). However, a lot of businesses have online forms rather than posting e-mails or they just have their phone numbers. Does anyone have any tips on how to contact these companies via e-mail or even fax? Also, if anyone knows, what kind of businesses would be best to contact to advertise the hotel?
