I decided to start a business on August 23, 2008. I’ve completed many small tasks since then and am at a point where I need to make contact with businesses. This is by far the hardest part for me. I’ve tried traditional forms of outbound marketing, but I think businesses and people in general have gotten more savvy with information filtering. I myself throw away direct mailers I receive and have numerous spam filters on my inboxes. So what I need to work on is helping people find me through their online habits.
