Amber, did you see my post a few pages back on you potentially offering proofreading training. There is a website called http://traindom.com/ - or you could train people in doing readings mediumship and the rest...
The proofreading one could be a good avenue because there is only one other online training school I can think of. And I applied as you can tell never completed the course hence my lovely abuse of the english language.

Well, my websites are set up, I've made Myspace profiles for both sites ... but no traffic and definitely no business! So promotion is the issue, I'd say. I want to get people looking at the sites, booking readings and dom sessions. Giving me lots of lovely money, in other words.

I'd have to think about that one, Dilli ... TBH, proofreading courses are probably not worth it as it's contacts that get you work. I'll mull over if there's something else I can teach ... not the best at organising my thoughts though and explaining them to someone else!

Right ho, with myspace it is a bit harder now, purely because most people use it for finding musicians as the friend side of it is nowhere near as big now because of facebook. There are a few things you could try to boost the myspace stats which is to use friend adder software. You can just type that into google and keep using free versions of software - I think for the other website you should concentrate on targeting more adult oriented sites. Did you get the PM I sent way back??? I didn't save it but I think I gave a list of things to help promotion???

I understand, I was thinking more from a grammar point of view for individuals... but, use spidergrams and then just do what I did trick...ahem ask some dear and beloved friends into reviewing the work before it is submitted.

how do I put pics on the posts?

dillidalli

you need to have the image hosted on something like photobucket or imageshack or flicker and then click that button that looks like a mountain with the sun (the yellow one) post the link and voila!

Completely throwing stuff at you now Amber - but do you have a blog for the readings at least and some more general spiritual advice. You could do a feature like problem of the month a psychic version of Marje Proops or Miriam Stoppard, and work on promotion that way. The thing I have learnt is that a website is like a business card - it is only looked at once. But, if there is some kind of constant change or something to engage in people will come back and then you generate word of mouth...

Hoping you can see the pic, it is just a red square to me! DD1 had kidnapped it! She is giving it cuddles because it is sad! Even she know it is me, its great! Half tempted to put it in the tank, but it is saltwater and don't want to ruin it! It is def taking pride of place when DD1 gived it back! Thankyou!

ETA:ok, I give up help?? Amber, not ignoring you, just really don't have the foggiest idea how to help, sorry!
