A few free resources 鈥?check out the sources box for links:

3) Write articles pertaining to your field and/or expertise.

Also, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other's sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates %26amp; the program are paid a commission.

Might help if your link worked!
first don't rely just on your store auctions generate people who go to your store go to eBay chat rooms talk to people their about you product people get interested check you out if they like what they see then they later start shopping get some business cards made out have party's and say hey i have a Internet store and you can buy it here and that a good way i use to do shows and gave business cards out with my store on it and got a lot of people was a powersell for almost 1/2 a year then needed a break from eBay because it got to be a lot a lot of work but i am slowly starting back.





i will check your shop out and let friend and family know because i am highly sensitive to some cosmetics and is some of my family members so would be looking for something like yours market on that.





Good luck i hope you take of just remember it summer still and then school starts so it is a slow time don't get to worried.





again good luck.








Just seen your sight and it is a wondefull job but big but you dont' offer to the states and you should i think you should don't know if it to much or what but if you can i would but you did a good job and again good luck i am in the states though.
Make sure you keep using ebay auctions for a few popular items and create internal links to your shop so people see your shop listed items too (which otherwise don't show up very well).





Find people who will link to your site from relevant pages.
A good web site
I looked ar your website. Its good:) There is a good website, which offers various advertising options and you set the advertising amount, since it is run by few college students. Please visit http://marketingdreamz.tripod.com/


or contact atmarketingdreamz@yahoo.com





Good Luck!
start by telling US what the shop is called!!!!
