Hi Danny

Not sure what your service is going to be - please can you clarify whether you will be doing search engine optimisation or helping companies with their publicity and managing events?

There is a great call for both of these services; an experienced event coordinator or person who can create and get good PR are both worth their weight in something almost as expensive as gold!

How about Danny's PR for the name?

Simple and straightforward and does what it says on the tin, as it were!

Hi Carl,

Many thanks for your reply to my post and apologies for not replying sooner as I have only just seen this (taking a slegehammer to the PC!!)

The service I will be offering companies is to maximise search engine listings by listing the a company (potential clients) in major business directories:

1. Major business directories which lists Blue Chip companies.
2. Standard business directories.
3. Specific target directories, suited to the clients business.


I will also research any PR opportunities with the UK's Press, Radio/TV

Also any events a Company is organising which I can maximise by way of PR etc.

I hope the above information is of assistance to you.

Kind regards,

Danny

Hi Danny

I think there's definitely a market for the service you are offering - many people spend ages submitting their site to the various directories out there.

The issue, as ever, will be getting your services in front of the people that do this - how are you planning to market?

Re : HELP PLEASE

Hi there,
I would consider "buying" your services if I could buy them on a no-cure no-pay basis. I realize that it will be very difficult to see which clients my business got thanks to your efforts and which we would have gotten anyway (i.e. thanks to our own efforts). Do you have a way of proving which results are yours?
I am a Spanish online school. I am currently offering 10USD per new client to whoever brings them in. We could also offer something like 5% of the income per client. This varies from about 3USD up to 30USD. Would it be worth your while at these rates???
