Okay guys -- What do you suggest. I am a brank spankin new company looking to get started and get some clients. Where is the best place for me to get started? Should I make an ad somewhere? Should I use online auctions? Should I give a free month? Should I sell it to users by month to month or yearly contracts?

Basically, I am looking for ANY AND ALL help on how to be a success.... the first few clients are the hardest, and thats what I'm having trouble with.

Suggestions welcome.

I would never enter into an annual contract with a hosting company unless they offered a money back guarantee. I don't want to be either stuck with them or lose all my money. Have you posted in the Advertising forum here at WHT yet? You might also want to try adding a link in your signature. It's more exposure every time you post.

To get some ideas take a look at other hosting providers and see what they are doing. Where is your site? If it`s not up yet I would work on that first.
