21st Century Marketing Tools News

Are you looking for ideas for promoting your small business, or for starting a new one?

I just posted some thoughts and recommendations for promoting your business online on my John Dilbeck Musings blog.

Whether or not you are interested in using Site Build It to promote your new or future business, I think you will find good information at Find your small business for building and marketing your own small business.

Act on your dream.

Once I learned what I was going to be doing with article marketing, I created my own article directory at 21st Century Articles.

After looking at lots of directories and comparing them to what Chris Knight is doing at EzineArticles.com, I decided I wanted to structure my site closer to what he was doing. I want to set 21st Century Articles away from the pack.

21st Century Articles specializes in business, communications, and technology articles. We accept only the best articles. Please do not submit ghostwritten, public domain, or private rights articles. They will not be accepted.

We allow no affiliate links in your article.

Read Terms of Service and Submission Guidelines before submitting your article.

I’ve just now posted several announcements about the Nice Offers coupon distribution system at SFIsalesteam.com.

If you own a business and want to advertise free (and pay only for results), you may be interested in these announcements.

If you are a shopper looking to save money, you may want to see the syndicated ads organized by expiration date, country, state, and category.

If you are not an affiliate and would like to participate in the NOC coupon system, I invite you to sign up as a free affiliate.

To learn more about all the details about NOC, visit the NOC Launch Announcement.

Nice Offers, which was introduced on October 31, 2005, has registered over 200 businesses in less than its first month of operation.

During this first month, several new features were added to make it easier to find coupons for the products and services you want.

You can select from online offers, offline offers, or both.

If you are looking for local offers, you can search by country, state, and/or city.

There are still some bugs to be worked out in the search, but it’s performing better than it did at introduction. Bugs are being squashed and features are being introduced.

If you have a business that sells products or services (what else is there?), you can register your business for free. Create as many, or as few, special offers as you like. Set your own terms, restrictions, and expiration dates.

You pay only when a coupon is redeemed.

And, to top it off, you set the price of the bounty you will pay when each coupon is redeemed. Some merchants set bounties of only a dollar, and others set bounties of a hundred dollars or more. It all depends upon your business and how much a new customer is worth to you.

Special offers need not be only for new customers, either. You can reward your existing customers, too.

While it is obvious that we’re still in the chicken-and-the-egg stage, this is a fast growing service and already has coupons for special offers from businesses around the world. Many more offers will be introduced as we go forward.

If you are looking for a fundraising opportunity for your non-profit, school, or church, we’re ready to help you, too.

Merchants, register your business and create your own special offer coupons. Advertise for free and pay only for results.

Shoppers, for money-saving coupons, go to: Nice Offers.
