Make sure this article is well thought out brings strong content for your readers. They will keep coming back for more! Make sure you offer your readers a gift that they will appreciate in your "resource box".

3) Conduct seminars. During your speech, let others know about your website or blog. Tell them what it is about to spark their interest. Have a way for them to sign up. You can do this with a sign-up sheet that asks if they have any additional questions.

Create a profile and give your friends the ability to join your list. Offer something that will help them in their business that is related to your industry.
