How to Promote Your Greeting Card Business

How to Promote Your Greeting Card Business

A new way to promote your greeting cards is by using a blog. This is best and cheapest way to promote your greeting cards because its free. Because blogging is still relatively new, so it is a lot easier to get your blog listed high in the blog search engines than it is to get a website listed in Google if you know the secrets the pros are using.

Its very hard to get a top 3 ranking in Google, MSN, or Yahoo. And it can get very expensive using pay-per-click advertising to drive traffic to your website.

So this is why you definitely can't afford to miss this.

Because a fellow mentor of mine, Derek Gehl and his elite team of Internet marketing specialists has put together test results and case studies that *prove* there is still a FREE way to blast your website to a #1 ranking in Google, Yahoo, and MSN... Yes, I said FREE!

Sell your greeting cards online without any upfront costs

Sell your greeting cards without any upfront costs

I just discovered a really cool way to sell your greeting cards online without having to put up any money until you get the sale.

You can have an online presence and an online shop that handles all the transactions and shipping.

Interested?

Good. This is what you need to do.

• You set-up a Blog at Blogger.com which is free.


• You go to Cafepress.com and set-up your own greeting card shop for free.


• Post articles about your greeting cards and photos of your products on your Blog with links to your Cafepress online store where visitors can buy your cards.
  

Now the way Cafepress works is you only pay for the stock you sell when you sell it. Cafepress will produce your cards with the artwork you upload to create your cards, and they will handle the online transactions and the shipping for you.

All you have to do is promote your Blog and online store and sit back and watch the sales roll in.

You could also place your cards on Ebay and when you get a sale you use Cafepress to produce the cards and send them to your customer. You just have to remember this VERY IMPORTANT factor when using Cafeprees this way.

You have to remember to check the box in the order section of Cafepress that says: “Check if this is a gift order”. If you don’t check this, Cafepress will send out an invoice slip with the goods stating the price you paid Cafepress for the cards not what you sold them for.

You don’t want you customers to know your bottom line for the cards you sold them do you?

Go to both of the sites and get started now. And you are not limited to just selling greeting cards, Cafepress let you create a lot of different products like T-Shirts, Calendars, Postcards and a lot more.

Enjoy and let me know how you go with this I would love to hear from you.
