Just got some promotion started on my fine jewelry store. I’ve submitted to several search engines and directories (mostly directories; good search engines don’t need submissions). I have huge list yet to submit to. Hopefully this will get me a good start on backlinks. It’s a lot of work, but hopefully it will be worth it.

Now it’s time to continue with the content writing. I still have a few dozen articles I want to write for it, so I’m trying to alternate promotion with content production. Work, work, work… despite the myth of easy income, that’s the real life in affiliate marketing. Takes a long time to get things automated.

I think when I’ve submitted to 200 or so directories (my list is longer than that), I’ll make a list of the ones I’ve submitted to and use it as an incentive for the upcoming newsletter for my home business website. Who doesn’t need to know where they can submit their links? But first I want to be certain that I only include sites I know.
