Self-Publishing Opportunities - Be Your Own Webmaster!
One of the most exciting facets of FDstart is it's ability to enable businesses and community organizations to participate in this community portal - without the need for any special skills in the construction of web pages. A business might advertise the special sale of the day. Churches could publish sermons or bulletins. Service organizations may post information about community projects and minutes from meetings. This self-publishing feature includes the community Calendar, Newsletters, Announcements and Showcases.
Beginning Web Strategies - Here's Where You Start
For budget minded local businesses and organizations, we provide basic Internet exposure at no cost. Our Directory probably already lists your address, phone number, and your location on a map of the area. Site visitors can find you by name, category, or through one of our Topic Pages - also called "channels" on some other portal sites.
Self-Publishing Accounts - The Easy Way to Control Your Own Webpage!
People use Fdstart to find out more information before they buy, or to stay in touch with their favorite organizations. To get maximum benefit from the Directory, you need to take advantage of our self-publishing feature. Any local business or organization can literally maintain its own comprehensive web presence by real-time input, updating, and deletion of information in the following:
- Its own Directory Page information
- Its own Newsletter
- Its own Product Showcase for featured products
- Its own Events Calendar
- Its own e-Promotions (Online Coupons)
- Its own Job Postings
Local residents can readily learn about your business and view its promotional information simply by visiting your Directory Page. Paying expensive advertising rates to publish a fraction of what you'd like to say is a thing of the past. And you'll never have to wonder again if - or when - your events and announcements will be "chosen" for publication or broadcast by the traditional media! You'll control your own destiny by self-publishing your information in real time on FDstart.
Banner Advertising - Your Message 0n the Front Page
The Directory can be used to target banner ads on topic category pages related to your specific products or services. Since visitors seeing your ad will have arrived at that particular directory page because of their own interest, they have "pre-qualified" themselves for your products or services. A colorful banner ad at the top of a category page distinguishes your business from other listings, and allows visitors to "click-through" to your Directory Page or website. Run-of-site advertising is also available. These ads are placed at random on any page not reserved for targeted ads.
