I posted an article on my Facebook Fan Page about how you can now opt out of receiving the yellow pages. I don’t know about you but as soon as I get mine they go straight to the recycle bin. What this says to me is the yellow pages as we know it is on its way out. With that said, now more importantly than ever, if you truly have a business (not a hobby) and want to be found you should have a website.

Your website is the hub for all your business online as well as some offline activity. For some strange reason we forget to promote our website address everywhere possible. Here are seven simple places to promote your website you may have forgotten about:

When you write your bio for print or for a live introduction, include your website address in the opening sentence. Instead of mentioning your company name you can mention your company name.com.

Place 5 – Your documents

All business documents you create should have your website address on it. If you are using a tool Word you can easily create a standard footer with information you want on every page in every document. You just never know where a document you create may end up.

Place 6 – Your email signature

Here’s a chance to promote your website (and just about anything else) with the hundreds of emails you send each day. I use the WiseStamp Email Signature which has so many options you won’t believe it’s free. You can choose from adding social media icons to custom banners ef...
