How Can I Get People To Come To My Online Party?
I have had a lot of people who are wanting to host an online party for one of the various direct sales plans and not sure how to go about getting them going and if I had other tips. So I came up with this to help those wanting to host and the consultants to help their hosts.

Every hostess and consultant wants your party to be a success. Keep reading to find out how to get people to come to your online party once you have chosen a date, a place and a time for your party.
Tell your friends.
You should be sure to tell all your friends and family about your online party. Send out emails that give them the time and the URL of the website where your party is going to be held, The URL to the consultants website so they can look at products before your party and become familiar with them and be sure to let them know how very excited you are about the party and how happy they will be if they decide to join you. The website Evite.com is a great tool to utilize by sending online party invitations. If there are going to be any specials on certain products or free shipping or anything being given away, be sure to let them know at that time.
Choose Incentives.
While we are on the topic of giving something away or planning specials, know that this is something that you should definitely plan on doing. Everyone loves to get a special deal on something they plan on buying — and who doesn’t love having a chance to get something for free? Most of the consultants has some already so ask her, If not ask her what she suggests.

A Press Release?
Well with the move and wanting to get my business Giggles and Smiles going up here in Washington I thought about doing a press release. Down side I have no clue how to do one. No clue even where to start. So I was searching I found this useful article I wanted to share.
Marketing Your Website with Press Releases
What is a Press Release?
A press release is a newsworthy story about your business that you submit to various media outlets ~ newspapers, magazines, website, radio, television. This is a wonderful way to get free promotion for your website. Any story that the media picks up will be far more valuable than a paid advertising spot. Having the media do a story about you is like a personal endorsement of your website and business.
What is the Appropriate Format for Your Press Release?
Your press release should have six basic components and they are:
1. Release Instructions
“For Immediate Release”;
“For Release Before [date]” or
“For Release After [date]”Use one of the latter two if your press release is of a time sensitive nature. For example, if you are holding a public speaking event, you will want to use the “For Release Before [date]” and make sure you input the final date for registrations. If you are using the “For Release Before [date]” ensure you are sensitive to media deadlines. Send your release out well in advance.

We all have our own reasons to start a business, but most of us didn’t start for the opportunity to work around the clock. Yet somehow, that’s exactly what happened.
The good news is, there is definitely a way out and you may have heard of “outsourcing” before. Outsourcing allows you to find virtual helpers from around the country or around
the world to simplify and reduce the day-to-day tasks in your business.
BUT…
